While a plethora of studies have investigated the relative citations of journals over time (Fowler,Bushardt, and Brooking, 1985; Johnson and Podsakoff,1994; Martinsons, Everett, and Chan, 2001;Stahl, Leap, and Wei, 1988; Tahai and Meyer,1999), few studies have focused on the changes
in individual journal content over several years.1 Casual observation reveals that the articles published in SMJ in 1999 differ markedly from those that appeared in the first issue of SMJ in 1980.This paper serves to communicate to the readership the broad changes in content of SMJ over the past 20 years.
