Title
Banking (on) different forms of symbolic capital
Abstract
The accrual of symbolic capital is an important aspect of academic life. Successful capital formation is commonly signified by the trappings of scholarly distinction or acknowledged status as a public intellectual. We consider and compare three potential indices of symbolic capital: citation counts, Web hits, and media mentions. Our findings, which are domain specific, suggest that public intellectuals are notable by their absence within the information studies community.
