| description |
The World Bank has produced a huge
volume of books and papers on development -- 20,000
publications spanning decades, but growing appreciably since
1990. This paper finds evidence that many of these
publications have influenced development thinking, as
indicated by the citations found using Google Scholar and in
bibliographic data bases. However, the authors also find
that a non-negligible share of the Bank's publications
have received no citations, suggesting that they have had
little scholarly influence, though they may well have had
influence on non-academic audiences. Individually-authored
journal articles have been the main channel for scholarly
influence. The volume of the Bank's research output on
development is greater than that of any of the comparator
institutions identified, including other international
agencies and the top universities in economics. The
bibliometric indicators of the quality and influence of the
Bank's portfolio of scholarly publications are on a par
with, or better than, most of the top universities. |
