Abstract

Abstract This article reports on a study in which journal publication performance of Applied Linguistics and TESOL (AL/TESOL) academics in the Group of Eight (Go8) Australian universities was examined for each academic rank (Lecturer to Professor) and across apparent genders (females and males). Journal publication performance was defined in terms of productivity (number of articles), academic impact (number of citations to those articles), and quality (journal impact factor and quartile rankings). To this end, journal publications of 65 Go8 AL/TESOL academics were identified over 19 years (2000–2018 inclusive). Normative research profiles are provided for each academic level and across two genders and are discussed in light of the literature. Where appropriate, a critical view has also developed concerning issues such as “publish or perish” and “gender gap” in academic publication. Results and discussion of results can contribute to a better understanding of AL/TESOL journal article production in Go8 universities as a reference group.

澳大利亚八所大学中应用语言学和TESOL学者的期刊出版效率、影响和质量

摘要本文报告了一项研究，该研究对澳大利亚八校集团(Go8)中应用语言学和TESOL (AL/TESOL)学者的期刊发表表现进行了检查，检查了每个学术级别(讲师到教授)和表面性别(女性和男性)。期刊发表绩效是根据生产力(文章数量)、学术影响(这些文章被引用的次数)和质量(期刊影响因子和四分位数排名)来定义的。为此，我们确定了19年来(2000-2018年)65位Go8 AL/TESOL学者的期刊出版物。规范的研究概况提供了每个学术水平和跨两种性别，并在文献的光讨论。在适当情况下，也对学术出版中的“发表或消亡”和“性别差距”等问题提出了批评意见。作为一个参考群体，结果和结果的讨论有助于更好地了解八国集团大学AL/TESOL期刊文章的生产情况。
