Research Digest Fall 2022

Terry College Research Digest — Fall 2022

Earlier this semester, I asked each of you to complete a short survey to promote our outstanding research faculty at Terry College.  Thanks to all of you who participated. 

As we wrap up another outstanding year, I want to recognize the work accepted and published in 2022.  

Both the breadth and the impact of the research we published in 2022 are impressive. Among the 45 faculty who participated in the survey, they published 55 papers in top journals, 9 of which were with current or former Terry doctoral students.  Your research continues to build the reputation of the College and University of Georgia as leaders in high-quality, impactful research.   

The survey also revealed that 10 Terry faculty currently serve as editors or associate editors at top journals (with many having served past terms), and that our faculty received multiple research awards in the past year. 

Below are links to several articles provided by our faculty. Have a look at your leisure.
