Abstract:
We conducted a review and analysis of the references cited in articles
published (1995-2004) in the journal Geomorphology and also solicited
comments from the authors of the most-cited works on their major
influences. Of the 31,696 unique works cited in the journal, only 22 were
referenced at least 20 times, with the vast majority (92%) cited only once
or twice. We divided the citations into the 10 most-cited books (i.e.,
complete volumes) and 10 most-cited papers (i.e.,journal articles, book
chapters, reports). A total of 23 different researchers were responsible
for the 20 works, with one (Wolman) being an author or co-author of a
quarter of them. Seven of the ten most-cited papers were based on work in
the USGS in the mid-twentieth century, indicating a particularly fruitful
time of geomorphic research and a particularly important cohort of
scientists. Based on our citation analysis and author commentaries, we
suggest that classic works in geomorphology are most likely to be those
that provide useful knowledge and those that incorporate interdisciplinary
perspectives. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
