Publicerende sociologen: de Top-50 in de periode 1995-1997

Samenvatting

For the sixth and last time we present the productivity and the international impact of Dutch sociologists, measured in the period 1995-1997. Table 1 gives the ranking of the fifty most productive sociologists. This productivity is measured as a weighted sum of the publications, where the weight is based on the quality of the journal or publisher, the number of pages and the number of authors of the publication. The international impact of the participants and of all full professors in Dutch sociology research centers is presented in Table 6 This impact is based on the number of citations in the Social Science Citation Index in the period 1995-1997. In an analysis of the reasons for (non-) participation in the Top-50 project we show that the most important reason for participation is positioning one-self towards others (Table 1). The main reason for non-participation is in sufficient publications, followed by questions about usefulness and of principle (Table 2). We also performed a trend analysis on all publications from 1991 till 1997 and compared the productivity of full professors, associate professors and others.
