Abstract

A comprehensive citation analysis was conducted for faculty publications from the College of Business at San José State University. While past citation analysis studies have focused on tenured or tenure-track faculty research, this study includes an analysis of lecturer publications. Data suggest that departments with a higher number of lecturers produce fewer publications overall. The lecturer publication profile yields a similar output to that of tenured or tenure-track faculty, with lecturers primarily producing journal articles. Although the study analyzed a smaller number of citations than previously published studies, it was found that faculty in this study cited a greater variety of material types than in previous studies.
