Abstract
The main aim of this article is to assess the most cited scholars in five international journals in three time periods: 2006–2010, 2011–2015, and 2016–2020. The five international journals are the Asian Journal of Criminology (AJC), the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Criminology (ANZ), the British Journal of Criminology (BJC), the Canadian Journal of Criminology and Criminal Justice (CJC), and the American journal Criminology (CRIM). Of the 10 most cited scholars in all five journals in 2016–2020, four (Robert J. Sampson, Alex R. Piquero, David P. Farrington, John H. Laub) were well-known for developmental and life-course criminology research (compared with five in 2011–2015), while five (Tom R. Tyler, Jonathan Jackson, Ben Bradford, Liqun Cao, David Weisburd) were well-known for law, legitimacy, and policing research (compared with one in 2011–2015). Of the 50 most cited scholars in all five journals in 2016–2020, most were based in the USA (56%) or the UK (22%), and only one was based in Asia (Jianhong Liu). It is concluded that Asian researchers should make more efforts to publish their work in major international journals.
