| contents | Publish or Practice? An Examination of Librarians' Contributions to Research Finlay, S. Craig Ni, Chaoqun Tsou, Andrew Sugimoto, Cassidy R. Librarians Library Science Library Research Journal Articles Authors Academic Libraries This article examines authorship of LIS literature in the context of practitioner and non-practitioner production of published research. For this study, 4,827 peer-reviewed articles from twenty LIS journals published between 1956 and 2011 were examined to determine the percentage of articles written by practitioners. The study identified a decrease in the proportion of articles authored by practitioners between 2006 and 2011. Topic analysis of articles revealed subtle yet distinct differences in research subject matter between practitioner-authored and non-practitioner-authored articles. If present trends continue, the character of LIS literature may shift away from many issues relating to practical librarianship. |
