Centres and Peripheries: Research Styles and Publication Patterns in ‘Top’USJournals and theirEuropean Alternatives, 1960–2010
研究了1960-2010年间管理学和组织学领域顶级美国期刊与欧洲替代期刊中研究风格和发表模式的变化，发现美国风格并未普遍趋同，且美国期刊中美国作者比例下降幅度小于欧洲期刊。
Abstract In view of recent literature, suggesting a growing international ascendancy of US ‐style scholarship but also a decreasing US dominance in journal publications, I ask two questions with regard to management and organization studies: (1) whether there has been an increasing convergence towards US ‐style research; and (2) whether the purported decline in the relative amount of US publications has been uniform across leading journals based in the USA and E urope. In addressing these questions, I take a historical perspective and draw upon the centre–periphery model of international scholarship, arguing that convergence or fragmentation in styles of research and variations in publication patterns have evolved through the interplay between processes of influence by the centre (i.e., the USA ) and imitative or competitive responses by the periphery. Empirically, the study spans the period 1960–2010 and is confined to ‘top’ US ‐based journals and their main E uropean alternatives. The findings answer the first question with a ‘no, other than a greater tendency towards the US ‐style when educational or collaborative ties to the USA are involved and by the recently emerging parts of the periphery’. The second question again is answered with a ‘no, the decline has been much less in “top” US journals relative to the ones based in E urope’.
