Dr. Rick Wilson recently published "Out-of-Home Advertising: A Bibliometric Review." The sources used by scholars say a lot about the quality of their research and how their information is disseminated to others in the field. Dr. Wilson evaluated citation patterns found in 343 academic articles about out-of-home advertising published between 1971 and 2020 and identified the most influential authors, articles, and journals shaping the medium.

Two important implications from the research are the need to use appropriate theoretical framing and big data to improve our understanding and utility of out-of-home advertising.
