The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

Business School Research in Corporate Responsibility

Moreover, to bolster the understanding of corporate responsibility from a business perspective, there is a necessity for blending academic insights with practical application. This calls for a technique that many of the great business schools in Utah are implementing into their curriculum. Business schools have started to place a heavy emphasis on ethical considerations and corporate responsibility in their courses in line with the topics covered in the Journal of Global Responsibility. This integration of ethics and corporate responsibility prepares future leaders to handle business dilemmas and challenges with the respect for the triple bottom line - people, planet, and profits. By studying models of successful and responsible businesses, students can learn valuable lessons that can be applied when they step into the corporate world. This practical application of the concepts discussed in the Journal of Global Responsibility is vital for facilitating positive changes in business practices globally. It's worth noting that some notable research papers on corporate responsibility have originated from business school studies, demonstrating the significant contributions that these institutions are making towards understanding and promoting business ethics and corporate responsibility.
