摘要

学术研究的生产/传播存在许多不确定性。本文将出版的不确定性纳入研究人员与期刊编辑之间的博弈模型，并研究其对研究数量、质量和引用率的影响。作者力求最大限度地满足发表论文的需求，而期刊编辑则努力提高期刊的声誉。发表论文的概率取决于学术期刊的数量。结果表明，期刊数量的变化（捕捉出版不确定性）对引用和质量的影响是对称的。引用率和研究质量可能上升，而出版物总量（研究数量）可能增加、减少或保持不变。

Academic publication uncertainty and research behavior

There are many uncertainties in the production/dissemination of academic research. This paper incorporates publication uncertainty in a game model between researchers and journal editors, and examines its effects on the quantity and quality of research and on citations. Authors seek to maximize satisfaction from their publishing efforts, while journal editors try to enhance reputations of their journals. Publication probability depends on the number of academic journals. Results show that the impacts of a change in the number of journals (capturing publication uncertanty) on citations and quality are symmetric. Citations and research quality can go up, while total publications (research quantity) can increase, decrease, or stay unchanged.

期刊介绍： Managerial and Decision Economics will publish articles applying economic reasoning to managerial decision-making and management strategy.Management strategy concerns practical decisions that managers face about how to compete, how to succeed, and how to organize to achieve their goals. Economic thinking and analysis provides a critical foundation for strategic decision-making across a variety of dimensions. For example, economic insights may help in determining which activities to outsource and which to perfom internally. They can help unravel questions regarding what drives performance differences among firms and what allows these differences to persist. They can contribute to an appreciation of how industries, organizations, and capabilities evolve.
