Having, in Part I, introduced the Math Ed Majors, the purpose of this article is to introduce a novel, unconventional, professional-golf-based author productivity index for those publishing their research and scholarship in the field of mathematics education. Once again, I look to men's professional golf, and men's major championships; however,…

Collaborative research papers are widely acknowledged to be more impactful than single-authored studies in higher education amidst subject area known to alter citation counts. While preceding studies have mostly recognised these two as the antecedents of research impact separately, it needs to be clarified whether the interaction of research area…

Since the twenty-first century, universities in many countries, including China, have introduced tenure-track employment to attract outstanding faculty. Through a survey of 1,099 faculty members from 21 high-level research universities in China, this study used a quasi-experimental method to examine the effect of the tenure track on faculty…

A variety of epistemic practices and norms influence how knowledge and understanding are advanced in academia. Co-authorship practices and norms, the focus of this paper, have implications for the epistemic resources that are brought into individual scholarly works and how the resources are distributed among networks over time. Although…

Author-level bibliometrics are one way to measure scholarly contributions. Such metrics are often calculated from journals indexed in the "Web of Science™. Google Scholar" more comprehensively reflects the contributions of special education scholars by including many more social science and education journals. The current study analyzed…

The paper takes a scientometric approach to measure the change in research productivity of Italian academics before the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. We propose a composite output/input bibliometric indicator and apply it at the field level, conducting a longitudinal analysis. Although the number of academics in the national academic system has…

This paper reports the results of a survey of 404 US mathematics education faculty regarding their research expectations for obtaining tenure.

Disciplines display field-specific ways of valuing research contributions, and these different 'styles of valuation' influence how academic careers are assessed and formed. Yet, differences in how research is evaluated are also prevalent between different levels of assessment: collegial and organizational. Consequently, we employ a multifaceted…

In 2016, over 40,000 pages of new research were printed across only 86 of the hundreds of higher education specific journals (Tight, 2018). Perhaps that means this field of study knows a lot, but maybe it means we know very little. Journal publishing is integral to the construction of academic fields, job markets, and policy making. However, not…
