Abstract:  This article ranks individuals and institutions according to their publications in eight academic journals from 1989 through 1998. The results imply that the most prolific individuals tend to extensively coauthor papers. The rankings vary significantly over each five-year subperiod, yet the results identify a fairly small group of individuals who consistently dominate the top ranks during the decade examined. The results also identify a small group of authors who continue to exhibit relatively high publishing performance in the individual journals over more than two decades. This article also ranks institutions using authors’ contemporaneous and current affiliations. Surprisingly, most of the top fifty institutions are so ranked regardless of the affiliation method used, suggesting that they either enjoy long term stability in their research personnel or tend to replace departing faculty with equally productive individuals.
