Most prolific authors in the Home Economics Research Journal and the Journal of Home Economics were rank ordered by the number of articles published and were surveyed by questionnaire in order to obtain background information about them and also to determine what has motivated them to publish. In addition, authors were asked to respond to a replication request to determine their will ingness to aid other researchers. Most prolific authors were defined as those authors with three or more published articles in either journal between Sep tember 1972‐September 1982. Surprisingly no one author had this many articles in both journals during this decade. Most of the authors have Ph.D. degrees which were obtained at least 11 years ago from a variety of universities. Most are currently employed as college professors or administrators or a com bination of both. Graduate school training, colleagues, and employers were chief motivators. Authors, for the most part, responded positively to replication re quests.
