Abstract
The Journal of Environmental Psychology (JEP) celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2011, and since its foundation the journal has given voice to a growing international and interdisplinary community of researchers interested in person-environment interactions. To celebrate, this paper provides a bibliometric review of full-length articles published since its foundation, presenting “Top 10 Lists” including the most prolific authors, countries and universities. To obtain citation records and bibliometric indices, the ScienceDirect page of the Journal, Web of Science and the Publish or Perish software were used. A total of 858 articles published during 1981–2011 were included in the final analysis. Highlights from the review include: the United States of America is the country with the most publications in JEP, but international submission is large with submissions from 42 different countries in 2011; the three most prevalent themes for articles are Pro-environmental Attitudes and Behavior, Spatial Cognition, and Place Attachment or Identity; and the impact factor of the Journal has increased steadily. Although bibliometric indices do no fully capture the multidimensional complexities of scientific impact of a journal, this review provides strong evidence that JEP has been a story of success. The wider environmental psychology community should be proud of the Journal's accomplishments.
