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.

Applying Economic Research in Real-Life Situations: A Focus on Accountancy

In addition to being an academic exercise, research in economics can have practical applications, particularly within the finance sector. For instance, those with a deep understanding of topics such as monetary economics and international trade can utilize this knowledge within the realm of accountancy. Accounting, a field that deals with the management and analysis of financial records of an organization, benefits greatly from economic research. These range from day-to-day decision making, long-term strategic planning, and compliance with financial regulations and laws. For example, insights drawn from analyzing international economics can support decisions made on the corporate portfolio management of multinational companies. Furthermore, econometric models might facilitate forecasting and risk assessment, crucial aspects of any business operation. In West Virginia, being equipped with this kind of knowledge can prove quite valuable, particularly for those with aspirations to become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). CPAs are regarded highly in the field of accountancy, known for their expertise in governing accounting principles and broad base of knowledge which encompasses aspects of economics. If you're interested in this career path, you can find more information at how to become a CPA in West Virginia.
