Abstract
Citation analysis of research published in 10 U.S. organizational sciences journals during the past decade provides insights into communications within and among disciplines contributing to the study of organizations. Results suggest that during the 1980s a modest increase in cross-disciplinary communication occurred among authors contributing to these journals. The same conclusions are reached when the time horizon of the study is lengthened to encompass the previous 3 decades. More interdisciplinary communication is needed to improve the quality of organizational studies.
