We analyze the prestige of 1,500 scholars in economics, sociology, and management who have Spanish and French institutional affiliations operationalized by their h-index in Scopus and Google Scholar. We use a negative binomial count model to examine how some individual factors affect the h-index from both databases. The results show a non-monotonic relationship between the researchers' career length and their h-index. There is a positive and statistically significant relationship between total research output and the h-index. The share of publications in English over total publications has also a positive and statistically significant effect on the h-index, except in a single case, while the share of publications in other foreign languages does not have such effect. Finally, we found that the effects of the number of citations received by documents in English (international impact) and by those in the vernacular language (local or regional impact) on the h-index vary according to the database, the country, and the discipline in question.

In this article, the authors analyze the characteristics of the vernacular management literature in Spanish-speaking countries and examine what factors can explain the differences observed in the production of these countries. The results indicate that management research has gained ground in the last decade, as revealed by the apparition of new journals and the number of articles published. The article also shows that Spain has a different profile of published articles than that of the other countries, as its production is mostly composed of empirical-quantitative articles. Finally, a negative binomial regression model suggests that the countries' scientific output is positively associated with their level of economic development and the size of their economies.

This article examines the scholarly production of Spanish-speaking countries in management and organizational studies, focusing on scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals. We differentiate the production between two literature segments according to publication language. The article's goals are to analyze both segments of the academic literature and to identify what characteristics of the authors lead them to publish in a particular segment. The analysis reveals that both the researchers' human and social capital differentiate their participation in these literature segments. Most importantly, we demonstrate that, regardless of these individual characteristics, the type of higher education institution where scholars are affiliated with seems to significantly influence the segment of academic literature in which they predominantly publish.

The article presents a study which explores the development of management discipline in Argentina and Spain. It states that Argentina and Spain are two countries which share commonalities in institutional and linguistic characteristics due to their colonial relationship. Meanwhile, in the economic aspects, these countries are also believed to share similarities in management knowledge, managerialist discipline, and scholarly management knowledge.
