Author and Citation Patterns for The Journal of Business Communication, 1978-1992

Georgetown University

A survey of The Journal of Business Communication for a 15-year period shows that many Journal authors are affiliated with research universities and that a relatively small percentage of Journal authors publish in the Journal more than once. It also shows that co-authorship is increasingly common; that over time authors have chosen to cite a larger number of sources; and that authors cite a variety of sources, particularly serials. Cited serials come most often from the areas of business and economics, social sciences and education, and business communication; the patterns of serial citation were relatively stable during the surveyed period. The Journal is open to other business and communication serials, but somewhat closed to serials outside those two areas. The serials cited most often by the Journal do not cite the Journal in turn. On the other hand, some newer business communication serials cite the Journal frequently.
