(May 18, 2007) Out of Cite 2 A Look Back at the Google Scholar Citations Reports from Summer 2006 In mid-July of 2006, USMNEWS.NET provided a series of reports that tabulated the Google Scholar citations to CoB faculty research. The tables from the first of those reports are inserted below. It ranks CoB faculty by aggregate Google Scholar citations.

(June 1, 2007) Double and Triple Counting in Accounting What the SEDONA Records of Clark, Jordan and Smith Reveal A recent trip into the stacks of SEDONA vitae obtained by USMNEWS.NET (via a Mississippi Open Records Act request in spring 2007) revealed some interesting practices in the CoB’s accounting area. Below we have inserted an excerpt from the scholarly activity section of Robert Smith’s (associate professor of accounting) SEDONA vita.

(May 31, 2007) More Publishing Mysteries in the SAIS What Pate and Henderson Claim, and what the (SEDONA) Records ShowNow that the spring 2007 versions of CoB faculty SEDONA vitae are circulating within the CoB, more and more "mysterious" entries are being uncovered and discussed. One of the latest concerns two refereed journal articles in the SAIS -- one claimed by associate professor of accounting Gwen Pate, and the other claimed by associate professor of accounting (and former USM VP of Finance) James Henderson.

(June 8, 2007) Do CoB Administrators Count Cites? 2007 CoB Faculty Citations from Google Scholar Back for another year, USMNEWS.NET reporters have put together an updated report on Google Scholar citations for CoB faculty who will be employed in the CoB during the 2007-08 academic year. With exception of new faculty and the incorporation of the new faculty units (for the first time), this table contains the same names as last year�fs, while it omits the central administrators from last year (i.e., Harold Doty and Farhang Niroomand). In the near future, an update to this report will replace Alvin Williams (Interim Dean) and Joseph Peyrefitte (Interim Associate Dean) with Doty and Niroomand.

(June 12, 2007) One More Goes A Look at the Departure of Zaher Hallab The recent breaking news story about the impending departure of associate professor of tourism management Zaher Hallab leaves many readers wondering how the CoB can remain a viable entity heading into the 2007-08 academic year. With Hallab’s departure, we have put together another update of the brain drain list that has been building since the CoB’s AACSB Peer Review Team left Hattiesburg in February of 2007. In the last installment, we reported on the losses of Michael Madaris and Stanley Lewis, instructor of finance and professor of MIS, respectively. With these departures, the number of refereed journal articles that have left the CoB since Feb-07 rose to 101.
