The present conceptual paper contributes to this line of research by commenting on the (un)suitability of using IFs and citations for ranking tourism journals, and aims to offer novel and constructive suggestions to academics in the field. Limitations of using IFs in ranking tourism journals have been examined, which include unintended negative impact induced by extensive use of IFs, possible inaccurate assessment of the paper's quality, and incomparability of IFs between tourism journals and mainstream business journals. Implications were offered to address the limitations of paper assessment based on journal ranking. Specifically, universities should not use impact factor as the sole measurement to judge journal quality. Other ways of measurement (e.g., peer-assessment) would also be a good indicator.

Academic interest in high-tech companies is growing due to their ability to contribute to economic and social development. Nevertheless, the literature and documented practice reveal a certain difficulty to evaluate non-financial criteria associated with technologies by venture capital funds. We selected the case of a company that received an investment from Brazil's largest seed capital fund to analyse the contribution of these indicators to understand the potential of the firm's technology. We conclude that use of scientometric and patentometric can improve the process of evaluation of the following criteria: technology; market; divestment; and team. Journal: Int.

In fact, most the TMT research since the 1980s has been empirically focused with many efforts highlighting demography, power, and board of directors' relationships. While we certainly applaud the empirical efforts, little has been done to advance the theoretical underpinnings of the TMT. And though there have been a number of comprehensive literature reviews, a quantitative bibliometric analysis has not yet been performed. The goal of this paper is to provide such an examination, and to highlight possible future avenues for TMT research. Journal: Int.

The study was conducted with social network analyses and data on multi-authored papers presented at 18 annual national management and organisation congresses in Turkey. The development of cooperation among researchers was analysed in two areas: the development of cooperation and social network analysis. The bibliometric analysis method is utilised to evaluate the papers presented at the congresses. Suggestions are offered to promote cooperation between researchers and to increase the maturity of the field. Journal: Int.

In addition, much of the top-tier accounting efforts rely on concepts, theories, and methodologies from finance and economics. Yet, accounting research seeks to establish itself as a unique paradigm. This research endeavour seeks to explore, using bibliometric analyses, the last decade of accounting research in its top five journals. Our findings are that accounting still relies on the finance and economics literatures, but that progress has been made in more clearly establishing accounting as a unique area of research.

Key aspects examined are analysis of network of keywords and paper, network of keywords and <i>Procedia</i>, network of keywords and keywords used in a paper, citation network of authors and collaboration network of authors. These five networks are examined to identify the most cited authors, major collaborators, major keywords used by authors in <i>Procedia</i> for last seven years in the field of city logistics. Citation, collaboration and keyword patterns are found based on trends observed in the data. Novel practitioners in the field can use the results of the study to seek the authors for citation and collaboration as well as emerging fields in this area. Exploring these networks indicated how 'city logistics' has evolved over time and identified niche research areas in the field. Journal: Int.
