Invited Editorial—A Descriptive Analysis of Publications in Marketing Science Over Its History
基于UTD顶级商学期刊数据库，分析了《营销科学》期刊作者来源的演变，发现顶级商学院持续参与，而来自北美以外学校和更多样化机构的作者数量增加，且多作者合作趋势推动了这一国际化扩展。
Using the University of Texas at Dallas database on publications in the top 24 business journals, we examine the evolution of Marketing Science as reflected by participation of faculty from top ranked business schools on one hand, and diversity on the other hand, as evidenced by contributions from different countries and from faculty of a wider set of schools. We show that faculty from top-ranked business schools have always published in Marketing Science, and continue to do so. We also show that the variety of schools with authors who publish in Marketing Science has increased, and that much of this expansion has occurred outside of North America. This international expansion appears to be driven by collaborations between authors in North America and those in other areas. One of the factors that may be fueling the increase in the variety of schools with authors publishing in Marketing Science is an increased tendency for collaboration by three or more authors. In general, Marketing Science has remained an outlet for authors from top schools, and has also become a place where authors from a much broader array of schools, especially those outside the United States, can publish.
