Abstract

Objectives

This study conducts the first known citation analysis of the most impactful research in the Journal of Experimental Criminology (JOEX). Citation analysis is used to increase our understanding of “research quality” as it pertains to the experimental literature base in criminology and criminal justice.

Methods

Using Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Crossref, citation counts were performed on all articles published in JOEX from its inception in 2005 to 2023 (n = 552), excluding self-citations. Once data were gathered, several forms of analyses were undertaken. First, a calculation of the average number of citations per year was determined between 2005 and 2023. In addition, a temporal analysis was used to assess whether citations decay over time after initial publication. For purposes of this research, the top 10 most cited systematic reviews and meta-analyses and the top 10 most cited experimental articles will be assessed.

Results

The most cited systematic review and meta-analysis were from Ttofi and Farrington (Journal of Experimental Criminology, 7, 27-56, 2011). Specifically, Ttofi and Farrington’s (Journal of Experimental Criminology, 7, 27-56, 2011) systematic review and meta-analysis on school-based programs to reduce anti-bullying amassed 2200 citations on Google Scholar and yielded an average of 183.3 citations per year. The same study had 858 citations on Web of Science, with an average of 71.5 per year, and 957 citations on Crossref, with an average of 79.8 citations per year. One of the top-cited experiments was from Mazerolle et al. (Journal of Experimental Criminology, 8, 343-367, 2012). Specifically, Mazerolle et al.’s (Journal of Experimental Criminology, 8, 343-367, 2012) experimental study of procedural justice of the police in Queensland, Australia, amassed 355 citations on Google Scholar, with an average of 32.3 per year. The same study had 174 citations on Web of Science (15.8 per year) and 177 on Crossref (16.1 per year).

Conclusion

The citation analysis presents an assessment of the most influential systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and experiments in JOEX. Ttofi and Farrington (Journal of Experimental Criminology, 7, 27-56, 2011) produced the most impactful systematic review or meta-analysis, while Mazerolle et al. (Journal of Experimental Criminology, 8, 343-367, 2012) was one of the most cited experiments. This contributes to our understanding of criminological research pertaining to quality experimental research.

谁是重磅炸弹?对《实验犯罪学杂志》过去二十年最具影响力研究的引文分析
摘要 目的 本研究首次对《实验犯罪学杂志》(JOEX)上最有影响力的研究进行了引文分析。通过引文分析,我们可以进一步了解犯罪学和刑事司法领域实验文献库的 "研究质量"。 方法 使用 Web of Science、Google Scholar 和 Crossref,对 JOEX 期刊自 2005 年创刊至 2023 年发表的所有文章(n = 552)进行引文统计,不包括自引。数据收集完毕后,我们进行了几种形式的分析。首先,计算 2005 年至 2023 年期间每年的平均引用次数。此外,还采用了时间分析法来评估首次发表后的引用次数是否会随着时间的推移而减少。本研究将评估被引用次数最多的前 10 篇系统综述和荟萃分析,以及被引用次数最多的前 10 篇实验文章。 结果 被引用最多的系统综述和荟萃分析来自 Ttofi 和 Farrington(《实验犯罪学杂志》,7,27-56,2011 年)。具体而言,Ttofi 和 Farrington(《实验犯罪学杂志》,7, 27-56, 2011 年)关于减少反欺凌的校本项目的系统综述和荟萃分析在谷歌学术上被引用了 2200 次,平均每年被引用 183.3 次。同一研究在 Web of Science 上被引用 858 次,平均每年 71.5 次;在 Crossref 上被引用 957 次,平均每年 79.8 次。被引用次数最多的实验之一来自 Mazerolle 等人(《实验犯罪学杂志》,8,343-367,2012 年)。具体而言,Mazerolle 等人(《实验犯罪学杂志》,8, 343-367, 2012 年)对澳大利亚昆士兰州警察程序正义的实验研究在谷歌学术上被引用了 355 次,平均每年 32.3 次。同一研究在 Web of Science 上的引用次数为 174 次(每年 15.8 次),在 Crossref 上的引用次数为 177 次(每年 16.1 次)。 结论 引文分析对 JOEX 中最具影响力的系统综述、荟萃分析和实验进行了评估。Ttofi和Farrington(《实验犯罪学杂志》,7,27-56,2011年)的系统综述或荟萃分析最具影响力,而Mazerolle等人(《实验犯罪学杂志》,8,343-367,2012年)的实验则是被引用次数最多的实验之一。这有助于我们了解与高质量实验研究相关的犯罪学研究。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Experimental Criminology focuses on high quality experimental and quasi-experimental research in the advancement of criminological theory and/or the development of evidence based crime and justice policy. The journal is also committed to the advancement of the science of systematic reviews and experimental methods in criminology and criminal justice. The journal seeks empirical papers on experimental and quasi-experimental studies, systematic reviews on substantive criminological and criminal justice issues, and methodological papers on experimentation and systematic review. The journal encourages submissions from scholars in the broad array of scientific disciplines that are concerned with criminology as well as crime and justice problems.
