ABSTRACT:

black scholars in the social sciences is Harvard's University Professor
William Julius Wilson. Among black scholars in the humanities category,
Princeton University's Toni Morrison had the most citations in academic
journals.

Citation rankings of scholarly papers no longer carry the academic weight
they once enjoyed. Nevertheless, university tenure committees and
development officers often rely on these rankings of citation counts.
For the tenth consecutive year, the leader in the JBHE citation rankings of
black scholars in the social sciences is Harvard's University Professor
William Julius Wilson.

Among black scholars in the humanities category, Princeton University's Toni
Morrison had the most citations in academic journals, narrowly edging out
last year's leader, Paul Gilroy of Yale.
