GSU's faculty ranked sixth in the world in terms of publishing in the core academic real estate journals between 2001 and 2006 and eighth globally when a broader range of nine real estate journals was considered. Dr. Karen M. Gibler, Associate Professor in the Department of Real Estate, was individually ranked 23rd amongst global researchers, one of only two female researchers ranked. Economics Professor Dr. Geoffrey K. Turnbull was also ranked in the top 25 according to an article appearing in Journal of Real Estate Research in 2008.
Another analysis of refereed publications in the top three U.S. scholarly real estate journals finds that the faculty at GSU are the fifth most frequently published faculty in the Journal of Real Estate Research between 2000 and 2006. Department of Real Estate Associate Professor Dr. Karen M. Gibler was the seventh most frequently published individual author in that journal over the 7-year period and the only female researcher ranked for publishing in any of the three journals during this time period.
