Abstract:
Three hundred and twenty-eight geomorphology articles published in the last
quarter of the 20th century were cited 20 or more times in Institute for
Scientific Information (ISI) indices, as of 15 May 2001. At the close of the
20th century, well-cited geomorphology is highly multidisciplinary and
interdisciplinary with the most dominant fields being ill biological, civil
engineering, earth science, geography, geological, and soils disciplines.
The very strong English-language bias of well-cited journal articles creates
a geographical bias in Study site selection, which May ill turn bias
geomorphic theory. Water-based research (fluvial processes and landforms,
riparian, drainage basin) dominates well-cited papers, with the 'hottest'
subfield in the 1990s being riparian research with a biological emphasis.
Over 90 journals publish well-cited papers, but Earth Surface Processes and
Landforms hosts the largest number of well-cited papers. Copyright (C) 2002
