Abstract
As discussed in Chap. 1, one concern that has been raised about our method of citation analysis is that it uses only a small number of prestigious mainstream CCJ journals. In response to this, we increased the number of journals from 9 to 20. The process of selecting these journals is described in Chap. 2. This chapter examines the most-cited scholars in 2010 in the 20 journals: 5 American criminology journals, 5 American criminal justice journals, 5 international criminology journals, and 5 international criminal justice journals. Exactly the same methods were used in all analyses, so that valid comparisons over time could be made. Comparisons are made with the results from four earlier years (1990, 1995, 2000, 2005) so that changes in the influence and prestige of scholars during the past 20 years can be documented. The most-cited works of the most-cited scholars are also listed.
