Abstract

In
a context where widespread failings in the nature of terrorism research
are well recognised?yet where the quantity of work is still enormous?is
it possible to fairly assess whether the field is progressing or if it
has become mired in mediocre research? Citation analysis is widely used
to reveal the evolution and extent of progress in fields of study and to
provide valuable insight into major trends and achievements. This study
identifies and analyses the current 100 most cited journal articles in
terrorism studies. A search was performed using Google Scholar for
peer-reviewed journal articles on subjects related to terrorism and
counter-terrorism. The most cited articles were published across
sixty-two journals, which reflected the interdisciplinary nature of
terrorism studies. Compared to other articles, the most cited articles
were more likely to be the result of collaborative research and were
also more likely to provide new data. Sixty-three of the top 100
articles have been published since 2001. The findings are discussed in
relation to the evolution of terrorism research and current debates on
progress in the field.
