Interorganisational - Supply Chain Management

Most wanted vs. most downloaded.

One feature of the on-line access of journal articles is the opportunity to provide a quantitative measure of e.g. number of downloads of particular articles.

International Journal of Physical Distribution and Logistics Management provides here a report on the “top 20 articles” downloaded .

In popular terms, these are the block-busters of IJPDLM in terms of downloads, not citations. I wonder what the list of “most wanted” of IJPDLM will be similar to the “most downloaded one”?!

This overview may be nice to have, but as we have asserted in an erlier entry (Back to the future), it is important to acknowledge ideas that have been pubilshed in the past by quoting these papers.
