A recent study examining publication rates from 1993–2002 by academic departments in the 10 journals associated with the American Society for Public Administration has ranked USC 10th nationally.
The USC ranking is only one item behind the University of Oklahoma, and two items behind the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
“Interestingly,” said department chair Harvey Starr, the University’s Dag Hammarskjold Professor in International Affairs, “Oklahoma’s ranking would have been well below USC’s without the half-dozen items authored by Jim Douglas, who joined the USC faculty in 2001.”
The full report is in “The ASPA Journals: Who Is Publishing?” by Douglas J. Watson, Wendy L. Hassett, and Donna Milam Handley, in The Journal of Public Affairs Education, Vol. 11, No. 1 (2005), Pp. 53–60.
