Abstract:
Four hundred and twenty-eight articles published in 12 crime-psychology
journals during the 2003 calendar year were reviewed for subsequent
citations in the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI). Fifteen potential
predictors were reduced to nine after subjecting the 15 variables to a
principal components analysis with varimax rotation. The nine predictors
included author characteristics - gender, occupational affiliation
(acadeinic-nonacademic), national affiliation (U.S.-other), citations per
2001-2002 first author publications - article characteristics collaboration
(single author-multiple author), article length, reviews, subject matter
(coffectioiis/criminology-legal/foreiisic) - and journal characteristics -
journal impact. Negative binomial regression of the citations earned by
these 428 journal articles in a 23 to 34 month follow-up (M = 28 months)
revealed significant effects for citations per 2001-2002 first author
publications, national affiliation, and review articles. These results
suggest that author impact may be a more powerful predictor of citations
received by a journal article than the periodical in which the article
appears.
