8. See for example the work of Bourdieu on social capital, which has deeply influenced research on networks, or of Crozier, who is highly cited by worldwide scholars for his contribution on bureaucracy. In the same vein, Lorenzoni's work on Italian Industrial Districts deeply influenced both Piore and Sable's work and that of Michael Porter on Global Competition, and likewise Pettigrew's work has had a profound influence on US research into change management and change practices.

For example, social science scholars that innovate new econometric or bibliometric tools publish in a narrow range of journals, yet this knowledge is used across all fields of social science; likewise important developments in management thinking which may first appear in a specialised narrowly focused (but high quality) journal will have a large impact on the wider community

30. It has been claimed that citations are not unbiased, since, given the choice, researchers will typically cite journals (and authors) that are more prestigious over those that are less well known in order to confer legitimacy on the argument they are advancing. However journal-reviewers act to rectify such biases and ensure that authors recognise properly where ideas come from. We also note that journals that pressure authors to cite only material from that journal have sometimes found their journals declining in importance.
