 - Malden, MA :  Blackwell Publishers,  sep./oct.1996 
<br/><br/> How productive have the faculties, graduate students, and graduates of public administration and public affirs programs been over of past several years? In order to answer this question, the author examined 11 journals published between 1986 and 1993. Publication totals were used to measure the productivity of programs. The author notes that many of the programs found to have highly productive faculties in earlier studies by legge and devore (1987) and morgan et al.(1981)have maintained top positions, while the remainder of the programs tended to change positions in an unpredictable manner. A relationship was also foud to exist between programs with productive faculties and programs with productive graduate students and graduates. In addition, the author reveals that few scholars published more than two articles in the jounals under review between 1986 and 1993.
