DocSIG tracks scholarly publications by authorship and university affiliation and publishes its Research Productivity Reports annually. The new report tracks contributors to the top marketing research journals between 2008-2017.
In a list ranking research productivity in the premier AMA journals, which includes the Journal of Marketing and the Journal of Marketing Research, Lam and Bharadwaj tied for 24th in the world.

“Both of these professors have regularly been recognized for their tremendous achievements by the AMA, and we are very proud that their hard work is once again receiving the respect it deserves,” said Charlotte Mason, head of the Marketing Department, where she also holds the C. Herman and Mary Virginia Terry Chair of Business Administration. “I’m also thrilled that our department has once again been ranked among the world’s most productive. It’s a reflection of the high level of talent and dedication that define this faculty.”
