The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

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.

Educational Insight into Marketing and Business

The understanding of consumer behavior, marketing strategies, and advertising dynamics is crucial for both academics and practitioners. Many students, researchers, and business professionals return to these topics to explore the latest trends and methodologies. However, it's important to recognize that studying these subjects in isolation might not provide a holistic view of the rapidly changing business environment. Integrating interdisciplinary knowledge from fields like psychology, statistics, geography, and culture can substantially enhance our comprehension of international consumer marketing. Many researchers often utilize these diverse sets of knowledge in their investigation and therefore, this publication encourages readers and contributors to consider a broader spectrum of learning. For instance, students who are enrolled at reputable institutions are exposed to a multifaceted learning environment that prepares them for this kind of intellectual exploration. Specifically, enrolling at great business schools in Mississippi would provide them with a comprehensive business education. It paves the way for gaining in-depth knowledge and developing skills, which in turn, would help them to contribute to the field of international consumer marketing. Therefore, whether you are a student, researcher, or a practitioner, acknowledging the need for amalgamating different disciplines in research is crucial. Doing so will ultimately result in a well-rounded view of the business environment and will also pave the way for innovative solutions which could yield huge benefits for the global economy.
