Five ֱ School of Business Faculty Among Top Two Percent of Scientists Cited Globally
ֱ, Pa., Feb. 19, 2025 - For the fifth year in a row, several ֱ School of Business (VSB) faculty are among the top 2% of scientists cited globally. This annual analysis by researchers at Stanford University, and the open access publisher, PLOS, ranks more than 190,000 scholars across all fields from a pool of more than 8.5 million active scientists worldwide, based on how often their work is cited by other scholars. The list considers both career-long citation impact and the impact in a single recent year.
In the “career” (lifetime) analysis, the following three faculty were ranked:
- Jonathan Doh, PhD, senior associate dean and Herbert G. Rammrath Chair in International Business, ranked 282 out of 57,191 scholars in Business and Management.
- Pankaj Patel, PhD, the Frank J. and Jane E. Ryan Endowed Chair and professor in Strategy and Innovation, ranked 350 out of 57,191 in Business and Management.
- Charles (Ray) Taylor, PhD, John A. Murphy Endowed Chair and professor of Marketing, ranked 121 out of 14,139 in Marketing.
In the single-year analysis, VSB faculty were ranked as follows:
- Dr. Patel ranked 119; Dr. Doh ranked 282; and Corinne Post, PhD, the Fred J. Springer Endowed Chair in Business Leadership and professor of Management, ranked 394, all in Business and Management.
- Dr. Taylor ranked 122 and Jeremy Kees, PhD, the Richard J. and Barbara Naclerio Endowed Chair in Business and professor of Marketing, ranked 514, both in marketing.
Drs. Doh and Patel also recently reached the milestone of 25,000 Google Scholar citations, and Dr. Taylor reached nearly 23,000 Google Scholar citations, meaning their articles were cited on that many occasions in published articles, books, chapters, and other outlets.
“Once again, VSB has demonstrated that our teacher-scholar model can produce globally ranked researchers while not sacrificing our unwavering commitment to teaching,” says Wen Mao, the Helen and William O’Toole Dean of VSB. “This is a testament to their academic scholarship and how greatly it is valued across the world.”
