“…The academic reputation of a journal will be strongly influenced by the reputations of its EBMs, and it would hence appear mandatory for them to have a demonstrable track record of research, typically as demonstrated by high levels of publication, citation and funding. However, studies of leading journals in several professional subjects (accountancy (Lowe & van Fleet, 2009), counselling (Weinrach, Thomas, Pruett, & Chan, 2006), finance (Hardin, Liano, Chan, & Fok, 2008), management (Bedeian, van Fleet, & Hyman, 2009b), and social work (Pardeck, 1992)) suggest that this is not always the case, with some EBMs demonstrating levels of scholarly achievement notably less than might have been expected. Such studies are, hardly surprisingly, quite controversial (Bedeian, van Fleet, & Hyman, 2009a).…”

A study of the members of the editorial boards of 16 leading LIS journals shows that the boards vary markedly in size, in diversity (in terms of both gender and nationality) and in the experience and publication/citation profiles (based on Web of Science data) of their board-members. A typical editorial board member will be male, work in the USA, have published their first LIS article in 1995, and have 9.5 publications and 39 non-self citations to those publications, with the publication/citation profiles differing significantly from those of non-board-member contributors to the 16 journals

“…We call this indicator authority . In the literature, gatekeeper authority was studied for selected journals in various domains such as management, economics, psychology, and sociology (Bedeian, Van Fleet, & Hyman, ; Lowe & Van Fleet, ); however, we failed to find any study on the IS field.…”

“…Past literature from various scientific disciplines has reflected on scholarly communication in those fields. Scientometric studies have attracted considerable interest in disciplines such as accounting (Lowe & Van Fleet, ), chemistry (Zsindely, Schubert, & Braun, ), economics (Baccini & Barabesi, ; Gibbons & Fish, ), education and educational psychology (Campanario, González, & Rodríguez, ), and nanoscience (Braun, Dióspatonyi, Zádor, & Zsindely, ). Complementary studies comparing several scientific disciplines also have been undertaken (e.g., Bedeian, Van Fleet, & Hyman, ; Börner, ; Braun & Dióspatonyi, ; Braun, Dióspatonyi, Zsindely, & Zádor, ; García‐Carpintero, Granadino, & Plaza, ; Nisonger, ).…”

Characteristics of the Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology and 76 other journals listed in the Information Systems category of the Journal Citation Reports-Science edition 2009were analyzed. Besides reporting usual bibliographic indicators, we investigated the human cornerstone of any peer-reviewed journal: its editorial board. Demographic data about the 2,846 gatekeepers serving in information systems (IS) editorial boards were collected. We discuss various scientometric indicators supported by descriptive statistics. Our findings reflect the great variety of IS journals in terms of research output, author communities, editorial boards, and gatekeeper demographics (e.g., diversity in gender and location), seniority, authority, and degree of involvement in editorial boards. We believe that these results may help the general public and scholars (e.g., readers, authors, journal gatekeepers, policy makers) to revise and increase their knowledge of scholarly communication in the IS field. The EB_IS_2009 dataset supporting this scientometric study is released as online supplementary material to this article to foster further research on editorial boards.

“…Prior studies into editorial boards of (USA) accounting journals have mainly inquired into board elitism (Williams and Rodgers, 1995; Lee, 1997; Fogarty and Liao, 2009); and the scholarly achievements of board members (Lowe and Van Fleet, 2009). Research into gender diversity and internationalisation of accounting boards has attracted limited attention (exceptions Carnegie et al , 2003; Brinn and Jones, 2008).…”

Board members play an important role in knowledge production and development of the discipline. This study examines the diversity characteristics of boards of accounting journals.Design: Drawing on a diversity framework that distinguishes between societal diversity and value of diversity, the paper examines two board characteristics: gender diversity and internationalisation. Moreover, it examines the influence of three journal and two editor characteristics on board diversity and analyses trends over time.Findings: On gender, overall board trends appear to reflect both societal diversity and value of diversity: boards reflect the gender profile of senior academics. Further, female board representation has improved over time, is consistent across different countries, and 'gendered' sub-disciplines attract a relatively higher female board representation. However, inequities persist at the highest level: women are under-represented as editors and on boards of higher ranked journals. On internationalisation, once again overall trends broadly reflect societal diversity and value at diversity. However, boards of UK and Australian and 2* and 3* journals are significantly more international than their US and 4* counterparts, respectively. Further, the representation of international scholars has witnessed a modest rise over time. Finally, editor gender and change in editor play an intervening role in the gender and international characteristics of boards, respectively.Originality: Drawing on the diversity framework, this study is the first to comprehensively examine gender diversity and internationalisation of accounting boards.
