For comparability across the studies, the conventions of Fabianic and Sorensen were followed. As in the previous studies, an attempt was made to restrict the measure of productivity by including only peer-reviewed articles. The choice of top journals presented only a slight departure from the previous studies. The study found that during 1995 through 1999, a total of 999 articles were published in the top 8 criminology and criminal justice journals, an average of 125 articles per journal. There were 2,063 authors, an average of 258 authors per journal and 2.07 authors per article. One discernible trend in publishing in criminal justice is the increasing importance of coauthorships. The trend toward coauthorship was especially prevalent among the most productive institutions. Another discernible trend was that institutions which offer doctorates in criminal justice dominated the top rankings. In a recent citation analysis of faculty members in doctoral programs, the University of Maryland ranked first, and the University of Cincinnati ranked second. The level of productivity sustained in these doctoral programs in criminal justice during the 1980's and 1990's suggests that their graduates will be among the most-cited scholars in the near future. 4 tables, 5 notes, and 25 references
