Abstract
Our study analyzes the factors associated with the faculty influence. We explore Google Scholar citation counts of 226 faculty at the top 20 doctoral programs in criminology and criminal justice. Our multivariate models show that some of the publication-related factors matter; the number of journal articles, proportion of articles published in prestigious journals, and proportion of books published with prestigious publishers are all positively related to citation counts, while the proportion of solo-authored articles and the number of textbooks published are both negatively related to the citation counts. Among demographic factors, faculty rank, length of years since the Ph.D., and race are related to citation counts, while gender is not. Finally, institutional prestige is positively related to citation counts, while the field of specialization is not.
