“…The first area focuses on the origins of research articles or productivity, such as locations or nations studied and institutional affiliations (e.g. Cole and Bowers, 1973; Musambira, 2000; Schweitzer, 1988). The second stream of trend research examines research topics or content of published research articles (e.g.…”

This study examined trends and patterns of mobile communication research across 10 communication journals between 1999 and 2014 with the intent to increase knowledge about mobile communication and to help scholars understand the future research directions. A total of 131 articles were coded for general information about journals, primary topic/context of the study, use of theories or models, research methods, units of analysis/types of sample, and countries or locations. Findings showed that the number of mobile communication-related studies increased over the time period of interest. Scholars examined uses and users’ characteristics of mobile communication as well as the effects of mobile media on everyday life. Most studies used quantitative methods such as survey of the general population. Theories or theoretical models were not frequently used in mobile communication research. Regarding the usage of theories or theoretical models, about half of mobile communication studies (48.1%) used theories and/or models as theoretical frameworks. Implications for improving this field of research are specifically discussed.

“…Anonymous evaluation of articles does not change this relationship (Crane, 1967). Cole and Bowers ( 1973) reported that a handful of schools dominated the six communication journals they analyzed. Pfeffer, Leong, & Strehl ( 1977) examined the relationship between institutional representation on editorial boards and institutional contributions in the disciplines of chemistry, sociology, and political science.…”

The competition for journal space among referees, editors, and other authors and its influence on journals' impact factors

A new approach to study competition for journals' space in academic publication is introduced. It compares the use of a given journal by two kinds of authors: Journal‐related authors and other authors. Journal‐related authors are those who are related in some way with the journal, either because they act as external referees or because they are editors on the journal. To investigate journal use by journal‐related authors, 18 educational psychology journals were studied and the articles they published were counted during a 2‐year period. Journal use by journal‐related or other authors is measured by indicators which give the number and percentage of journal‐related authors, number and percentage of articles authored or co‐authored by journal‐related authors, journal pages used, and mean number of pages from articles authored or co‐authored by journal‐related authors. The data show that journal use by journal‐related authors varies. Thus, the percentage of journal‐related authors ranges from 1.28 to 33.33% depending on the journal. The percentage of articles authored or co‐authored by journal‐related authors ranges from 2.33 to 57.89% of the total, with seven journal‐related authors being authors or co‐authors of five or more articles in the journals on which they serve. In three journals, the mean number of pages from articles authored or co‐authored by journal‐related authors was higher than that from articles authored by other authors. Finally, there is a positive relationship between the use of journals by journal‐related authors and impact factor of journals. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

“…Several journals were more likely to include graduate student authors. A chi-square test showed a significant relationship between journal and the presence of a graduate student-authored article (χ 2 = 19.709, df = 9, p < .05): Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication (n = 30, 16.9%), Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media (n = with faculty members, and external funding resources (Atkin, 1996;Cole & Bowers, 1973;Schweitzer, 1988).…”

“…The graduate training of students is one of the most critical factors in predicting future productivity (Cole & Bowers, 1973). The most productive institutions tend to be located in the Midwest or Big Ten in the United States (Neuendorf et al, 2007).…”

Authorship and authorship order are visual shortcuts that communicate student success. We content analyzed to what extent graduate students published as lead authors in 10 refereed communication and media journals over a decade (2007–2016) examining student authorship, coauthorship, and affiliations. Graduate students appeared in approximately 23% of the sampled articles with graduate students most often appearing as lead author on multiauthored articles. If there is an increasing expectation to secure lead authorship, students may need to navigate the authorship process. Guidelines are provided on how to assess and negotiate authorship based on intellectual contributions, tasks, and sustained commitment.
