Productivity of US LIS and ischool faculty

This examination is the latest in a series of analyses of scholarly productivity by individuals and library and information science programs and ischools (limited to those with master's programs accredited by the American Library Association). Productivity is defined as numbers of publications authored and numbers of citations received in the years 2008 through 2013. The most productive individuals according to each measure are presented. Data are also collected for institutions (by adding the publications and the citations for all of the program's full-time tenured or tenure-track faculty). The institutional data are aggregated and the most productive programs are ranked. A principal result is that both individuals and programs are responsible for many more publications and citations than in the past. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
