(July 28, 2009) Inherited Legacy The recent re-running of the 5-July-07 report, Games People Play, about former SoA
director Steven Jackson's double-counting highlights the legacy that new SoA director Kirby E. "Skip" Hughes (pictured
below) inherited in July-09. Just what has Hughes done with this legacy since assuming the SoA reins a few weeks ago?
His first official duty was to "reward" former SoA directors Robert Smith and Roderick Posey with larger, more secluded
office spaces on the second floor of JAG. In providing such a reward, Hughes seems to be rewarding Smith's past double-
and triple-counting, as reported in Double and Triple Counting in Accounting from the same spring/summer 2007 time
period.

reports here at USMNEWS.net have examined Google Scholar cites to research conducted by various CoB faculty. As in
past reports in this series, the data examined recently have been unadjusted GS cites. That is, there has been no accounting
for self-cites in the overall data. This report addresses that issue by subtracting self-cites from the overall data, using a
6-Aug-09 GS cites search for ACC.
