Putting Scholarly Impact in Context: Implications for Policymaking and Practice
提出了情境化学术影响力指数（CSII），从领域情境、数量质量、时间维度等多方面衡量管理学研究者的学术影响力，并开发了计算软件，用于政策制定、人才管理和科研评估。
We address business schools’ need to develop policies and practices informed by researchers’ scholarly impact by offering an improved conceptualization and measure that considers contextual and temporal aspects: the Contextualized Scholarly Impact Index (CSII). We also offer software to calculate individual and institutional-level CSII scores. Our measure of scholarly impact (a) considers impact within the context of the management field, (b) relies on quantity and quality dimensions of research impact, (c) incorporates temporal aspects of impact, and (d) yields scholarly impact scores using the latest data from an inclusive set of influential management journals. CSII provides a transparent and multidimensional measure of scholarly impact to inform policymaking, facilitate benchmarking of research impact, and support researchers in understanding and enhancing their scholarly contributions. Our study contributes to policymaking and practice by improving the theoretical conceptualization of scholarly impact; offering a metric for comparing the impact of individual scholars, research groups (e.g., teams, centers, and institutes), and business schools; aiding funding agencies in making informed decisions; assisting in the training and development of faculty and doctoral students; supporting policies for review, promotion, and tenure; and providing critical information for talent management practices including selection, succession planning, and rewards.
