Institutional gatekeepers of supply chain research

International Journal of Integrated Supply Management (IJISM), Vol. 2, No. 4, 2006

Abstract: This paper provides a ranking of the academic standing of universities based on faculty representation to the editorial boards of journals in the field of supply chain management. The findings from the study offer useful information to potential employers/recruiters of supply chain graduates. The findings can also provide prospective graduate students with an assist in their selection of an appropriate institution for advanced studies in supply chain management. This study shows that faculty affiliated with a relatively small group of institutions dominates editorial board representation. It also shows by comparisons that most of the institutions that are highly ranked for editorial board representation are also highly ranked in previous research that evaluates faculty productivity based on a count of publications. However, in contrast to the publishing productivity method, editorial board membership as a ranking method clearly saves time and can be applied to a point in time, whereas the time frame for publication counts must include a defined continuous period of several years.
