Alex has provided some very insightful information. It is really unfortunate that our scholarly activities are now measured in citation 'points', and that there are ways, obviously, to bias the system.
One can only wonder how many other examples exist that are not quite so obvious as the ones that he discovered? What does all of this mean to our field, as a whole? I believe it questions what we do, how we do it, and why we do it.
Jim Walsh in the AMR article of his presidential address dealt with some of these issues (AMR, vol 36, Not 2, 215-234: Embracing the sacred in our secular Scholarly world). Myself and colleagues Lampel, Siegel, and Drnevich have a forthcoming
in JMS that deals with this subject as well. I believe it should be of great concern to many of us - this is most likely just the 'tip of the iceberg'.
For those of you interested in 'what do we do with this information' that Alex has carefully examined, I would like to invite you to the activities of the Ethics Education Committee of the Academy of management.
· Our mandate is to educate management scholars regarding ethical issues related to their own professional research, publication, and service activities.
