Abstract

An analysis of covariance with a 4 x 3 factorial design was used to compare the citation means of 560 articles published in 28 pedagogy journals. The independent variables were four business fields: accounting, economics and finance, general management, and marketing; three levels of external reviewers were used as the other independent variable. The dependent variable was the number of citations of articles. We found that the means differed on the main effects of four levels of business fields and three levels of external reviewers when acceptance rate was a covariate. The number of citations increase as the number of reviewers increases from one to two.
