An Analysis of Coauthorship Antecedents,

Trends, and Outcomes in Business Research

This study examines coauthorship patterns in scholarly research.  Formally labeled as the study of "scientific collaboration" in other social science and "hard sciences," we examine both the longitudinal evidence for changes in the frequency of coauthorship, as well as factors that influence researchers' specific choices of coauthors (including personal factors such as same gender and same PhD training institution). We also examine specific outcomes that have been identified as resulting from coauthored research - such as a larger number of citations and longer (page) length of articles. We use a sample of five leading, international scholarly journals from the information systems (IS) field to test of our hypotheses - in essence, replicating many of these hypotheses that were previously investigated in related business disciplines such as Finance and Economics. We found support for nearly all our hypotheses.  However, we found an unusual result regarding the relationship between number of coauthors and number of citations in several top journals - with the number of coauthors positively related to number of citations in MIS Quarterly and European Journal of IS, but inversely-related in Information Systems Research.  Through several post hoc analyses (including controlling for the type of research study and the authors' home countries), we explore the reasons why studies with more coauthors are cited more often in MIS Quarterly and European Journal of IS, but less frequently-cited in ISR. 

This talk is based on a manuscript that has been submitted to a special issue of Journal of AIS on the topic of Social Network Analysis. It is in the process of being revised-and-resubmitted. 

The seminar will be held in Maria de Molina 7, room D301 , at 15:00.
