Over the years, the academic domain of electronic government research (EGR) has developed its own core of journals, which cover the various aspects and areas of interest in EGR. While some journals apply a policy or an administrative perspective, others emphasize the information or information-systems perspective.

This paper summarizes research that examines the relationship between hiring, promotion, and salary for tenure track science and social science faculty using data from the Survey of Doctorate Recipients (SDR). Gender differences in hiring and promotion can be explained by observable characteristics. However, gender differences in salaries persist at the full professor rank. In particular, women...

How are scholars ranked for promotion, tenure and honors? How can we improve the quantitative tools available for decision makers when making such decisions? Can we predict the academic impact of scholars and papers at early stages using quantitative tools? Current academic decisions (hiring, tenure, prizes) are mostly very subjective. In the era of “Big Data,” a solid quantitative set of measu...

In the landmark 1990 publication Scholarship Reconsidered, Boyer challenged the 'teaching verses research debates' by advocating for the scholarship of discovery, teaching, integration, and application. The scholarship of discovery considers publications and research as the yardstick in the merit, promotion and tenure system the world over. But this narrow view of scholarship does not fully sup...

This paper examines the characteristics of entry level academic economists and investigates the determinants of market salaries. Contrary to what might be expected, we find that nominal salaries are not systematically adjusted to reflect observable differences in the cost of living. Our findings reveal that being hired on the tenure track significantly influence academic salaries regardless of ...

ABSTRACT An international comparison of the accounting professoriate provides useful information to both key decision makers and individual faculty. We compare characteristics academic in United States Canada. Our includes size departments (measured by average number faculty) relative level research versus teaching focus (proxied proportion tenure‐track vs. non‐tenure‐track faculty). also exami...
