Research Productivity Among Librarians : Factors Leading to Publications at Penn State. Fennewald, J. College & research libraries, 69(2):104--116, 2008.

Paper abstract bibtex

Librarians at the Pennsylvania State University are consistently among the most published in academic library journals. This study explored the factors contributing to research productivity among a cross section of Penn State librarians. Personal motivation, intellectual curiosity, and education were important factors in practice-, institutional-, and discipline-based research among the 38 librarians surveyed here. However, being part of an institution, where everyone is expected to participate in research, may be the most critical factor.
