The Most Influential DEA Publications: A Comment on Seiford

Author

  • Nikias Sarafoglou

Abstract

In a recent paper in Journal of Productivity Analysis, Seiford (1996) assessed some DEA publications as being the most influential by interviewing a sample of researchers “in an attempt to establish a consensus.” In this note I compare Seiford's ranking with an alternative bibliometric ranking based on the Social Science Citation Index. The alternative quantitative ranking is very different from Seiford's qualitative ranking. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 1998
