Research Note: An Exploratory Examination of Page Views Among Society for Case Research Published Case Studies

A wider inclusion of other measures of impact beyond citation rates was warranted for case writers who want to document the importance of their publications. And yet, little was known about the various measures of impact of published cases. The purpose of this research was to examine impact in the form of page views, among a sample of SCR published cases. Thus, the present study sought to collect, analyze, and share page view data on behalf of SCR. Using Cengage data, the top 25 most viewed cases were shared, along with other information about allocation over time and across the three SCR journals. A discussion was also provided which raised questions about what page view rates may actually mean for case writers.
