Abstract:

This note continues the discussion initiated by Doyle and Arthurs on the publishing patterns of UK academics. It draws attention to a recent analysis of European MS/OR journals which gives some indication of the publication habits of authors from US institutions. On this evidence US authors account for a substantial proportion of articles in the leading European MS/OR journals. It is suggested that the explanations for the publication habits of academics need to go beyond those offered in Doyle and Arthurs and the subsequent correspodence. As measures of research quality, both citation analysis and peer reviews have their limitations. It is suggested that content analysis of journal articles may yield additional insight.
