(May 19, 2008) Special Report Do CoB Faculty Need Shoulders? An Investigative Series on CoB Faculty Research Credentials The new USMNEWS.NET series, "Carrying HoDo . . .," has been a popular one among our readers. This report follows the lead of that series by analyzing the quality of the solo-authored research of CoB's 47 faculty. By doing so, a determination can be made about which CoB faculty need the shoulders of other researchers and which ones do not.

(May 19, 2008) Carrying HoDo How Harold Doty "St[ood] on the Shoulders of Giants" Following the Bread Crumbs The preamble to each of the four parts in this series indicates that Doty has 1,595 Google Scholar citations. However, as Part 2 in this series pointed out, Doty's research career has benefited tremendously from his associations with William Glick and George Huber, two of Doty's UT-Austin mentors who have made quite a name for themselves over their respective careers.

(May 19, 2008) (corrected and updated May 21, 2008) Carrying HoDo How Harold Doty "St[ood] on the Shoulders of Giants" Doty's Little Box As Parts 1 and 2 in this series indicated, Doty's research career has seriously benefited from associations with UT-Austin mentors William Glick and George Huber, as well as that with his former University of Arkansas colleague, John Delery. Part 2 also examined the Google Scholar cites for Doty, Delery and two of Doty's UT-Austin classmates -- Chet Miller and Kathleen Sutcliffe. That issue (Part 2) demonstrated that these two management scholars have not only been more successful than Doty in their collaborations with scholars other than Glick and Huber, they have also been much more successful than Doty in their solo endeavors. Similar findings were presented for Delery, Glick and Huber.

(May 19, 2008) (corrected and updated May 21, 2008) Special Report Is Doty Lucky to be at USM? An Investigative Series on CoB Faculty Research Credentials The new USMNEWS.NET series, "Carrying HoDo . . .," has been a popular one among our readers. This report takes advantage of some of the leftover investigation work-product from that series in order to provide some additional information about former CoB Dean Harold Doty's research record. The information below will likely be of great interest to much of our readership.

(May 22, 2008) Special Report Classic CoB Mismanagement Why Carter's "Literature Presence" is Bad, Yet Once Allowed, How it Could've Been Beneficial As far back as the summer of 2006 USMNEWS.NET (formerly USMPRIDE.COM) has been reporting on George Carter's nebulous "literature presence" faculty evaluation metric. As it goes, Carter rates his EFIB faculty, in part, on the basis of literature presence, or their ability to maintain a "presence" in the literature comprising their respective disciplines. In Carter's EFIB, this includes economics, finance, international business and real estate. However, as reports and editorials here at USMNEWS.NET have demonstrated, Carter is in no position to judge the literature presence of the EFIB he governs. His own record is too weak, and too highly dependent (co-dependent) on the assistance of economics professor Edward Nissan to make the kinds of assessments one would supposedly make using a literature presence standard.
