The Race to 500 Google Scholar Citations

Some of the more popular posts here at Turner Business are those that analyze the Google Scholar citations garnered by the research published by Turner College faculty. This particular post contributes to those in a different way. There are currently four Turner College faculty closing in on the milestone of 500 career Google Scholar (GS) citations. This race to 500 is shown in the diagram below. Turner College associate professor of marketing Ed O'Donnell currently leads, with 479 GS citations. In second is TSYS School computer scientist Yi Zhou with 444 GS citations. The trajectory of the rise in Zhou's GS citation count gives him a chance even though he trails O'Donnell by 35 GS cites at present. Associate professor of management Mark James currently sits at 410 GS cites, nine GS cites behind TSYS School computer scientist Hyrum Carroll at 419. The trajectory of James' rise is similar to Zhou's, so it will be interesting to see how close he comes to winning the race. Get your popcorn and soda and buckle in for the home stretch.
