Abstract | Abstract The fame or status of an academic might not be built exclusively on research merit alone. In a world of competitive publishing, where vanity, metrics and citations play key roles in academics’ survival, for better or for worse, journal or institutional prestige may also serve as catalysts to further promote their status. The Matthew Effect, which breeds success from success, may rely on standing on the shoulders of others, citation bias, or the efforts of a collaborative network. Prestige is driven by resource, which in turn feeds prestige, amplifying advantage and rewards, and ultimately skewing recognition. |
