Abstract
The current study provides an examination of the publication productivity of 46 previously identified top-ranked criminology and criminal justice scholars across a host of publication productivity metrics. More importantly, the trajectories of the citations accumulated by these scholars’ published works from 2007–2016 are estimated. Results reveal five distinct group-based trajectories, and there are several factors such as the author’s h-index, the author’s number of publications, and the age of the publication that were significantly associated with the citation-based, trajectory group membership. In addition, some of the most frequently cited papers were systematic reviews and meta-analysis and papers focusing on developmental life-course criminology or biosocial research. Study implications are discussed.
