Abstract

The authors use a novel method—the Author Affiliation Index (AAI)—to determine whether faculty at the top‐10 North American library and information science (LIS) programs have a disproportionate presence in the premier journals of the field. The study finds that LIS may be both too small and too interdisciplinary a domain for the AAI to provide reliable results.
