Toward a sustainable academic publishing system at university business schools

Abstract

This article suggests that universities in general and university business schools in particular need to rethink the reward and merit system in terms of limiting the number of works any scholar is allowed to publish yearly; reward assistance of colleagues equally high as publishing per se; and to rethink authorship in a way that collectives instead of individuals appear as authors, or even skipping authors altogether. As a result, these remedies can help to create a more sustainable working environment at university business schools.
