The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in The Quality Management Journal (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in The Quality Management Journal (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
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.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 13.33% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 15.38% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 84.62% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
Understanding the research areas studied in The Quality Management Journal provides rich insights and fosters a deep understanding of the topic. Yet, equally important is reflecting on the broader picture, including possible opportunities for further studies along with the implications for industries and educational institutes.
As an extension of quality management concepts, institutions are recognizing the importance of incorporating quality and operational management principles into their curricula. Particularly, Business Schools are integrating these concepts into their curriculum to equip future leaders with the necessary tools and methodologies to improve organizational performance. An excellent example is the program offered by good business schools in Virginia, providing students with hands-on experience around these subjects.
Further research opportunities might also explore the effect of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain on quality management principles and practices. Additionally, the impacts of the ongoing pandemic on quality control and operations in different sectors is a vast field that is yet to be thoroughly explored.
The understanding and interpretation of the future scope and opportunities are totally at the discretion of the readers. The aim is to shed light on potential future avenues of focus in quality management that could support industry practitioners, scholars and students. Let's continue advancing the field of quality management.
