> Abstract:
> Ormerod [Ormerod RJ. An observation on publication habits based on the
> analysis of MS/OR journals. Omega Int J Mgmt Sci 1997;25:599-603.]
> contributes to an ongoing debate by pointing out that not only do US
> authors frequently publish in UK journals, but also that journal articles
> can be analysed on the basis of being 'untested theory' or 'true
> applications'. Such a taxonomy might, Ormerod suggests, be an alternative
> method of evaluating 'research quality' to the established methods of peer
> review or citation analysis. This response critically evaluates this
> suggestion in terms of validity, reliability, practicability and
> exhaustiveness. Ormerod's case is found not proven. (C) 1999 Elsevier
