“…The rising advocacy for greater internationalization within criminological fields [5,50] have recently motivated several efforts to empirically assess the internationality of criminology and criminal justice. Accordingly, compared to the abovementioned studies, we find more direct measures of internationality in the works of Barberet [5], Kim and Merlo [33], Kim et al [32,35,36], Faraldo-Cabana and Lamela [26], and Messner [37].…”

“…Although the tradition of bibliometrics-that precedes scientific applicationsappears to be historically inseparable from the legal world [43,44], the literature of bibliometric studies concerning the topic of internationality of academic legal research is relatively scarce compared to other fields, for instance, geographics [4,27], information science [48], international relations [40], or psychology [2,10]. The existing literature typically focuses on the field's internationality as indicated either by the most influential scholars [15,16,25] or by specific journals [26,32,[35][36][37].…”

“…Similarly, various studies conducted by Kim and colleagues set out to indicate the progress of internationalization within criminology and criminal justice as presented on the levels of policing [36], juvenile justice [32] and women specialty [35]. Kim et al [36] analyzed 1123 papers published in the three major policing journals of Police Quarterly, Policing: An International Journal of Police Strategies & Management, and Policing during the period of 2000-2013 to assess the prevalence of articles concerning policing in East Asian countries, a region accounting for one-fifth of the world's population.…”

Twenty Years of Law Journal Publishing: A Comparative Analysis of International Publication Trends

The analyses of publishing trends are gaining importance across various disciplines, yet we have limited knowledge on the extent to which international publication processes have developed within the field of legal studies. Based on bibliometric and network analyses focusing on the past two decades, our research investigates publishing and internationalization processes in the pool of Scopus-indexed law journals, as well as the publication patterns of the most prolific Law scholars. Results indicate that most legal studies journals are concentrated in the hands of a few global publishers and university presses, and, while the number of Scopus-indexed law journals are high, the level of internationalization is relatively low. Consequently, further efforts are prompted to enhance geographical diversity and increase the level of international collaboration.

“…She appealed for a reconceptualization of the discipline to avoid an "American isolationism," concluding on a somewhat optimistic note that "future research will hopefully show that we have made strides in the twenty-first century to do so" (Barberet 2007, p. 424). Kim et al (2015) similarly conducted a content analysis in an effort to identify any movement towards internationalization of the field, focusing on articles published in four major US juvenile justice journals (Juvenile & Family Court Journal, Journal of Juvenile Justice, UC Davis Journal of Juvenile Law & Policy, and Youth Violence & Juvenile Justice). The authors content-analyzed 567 papers during the 2000-2013 period.…”

The purpose of this essay is to offer reflections on the extent to which and the ways in which the production of criminological knowledge has (or has not) become more "international." With respect to extent, I review previous work that has searched for evidence of internationalization by means of content analyses of criminological scholarship and by inquiries into the membership on editorial boards of journals. I build upon these studies by reporting original evidence on internationalization as reflected in the publications appearing in Criminology, the journal of the American Society of Criminology, over the course of the current century. With respect to the ways in which internationalization has unfolded, I review some of the comparative research that has been directed towards assessing the applicability of criminological theories developed in the West to the context of East Asian societies. I conclude with brief remarks about the internationalization of criminology in the future.

“…There are a number of empirical studies documenting the marginalization of subfields, such as white-collar crime (see e.g., McGurrin, Jarrell, Jahn, & Cochrane, 2013) and international/comparative juvenile justice research (see e.g., Kim, Lin, & Lambert, 2015), or methodologies, particularly qualitative methodologies (see e.g., Buckler, 2008;Tewksbury et al, 2010) such as ethnography (see e.g., Copes, Brown, & Tewksbury, 2011), within the CCJ discipline. However, there are no similar systematic empirical studies specifically examining the representation of legal scholarship in CCJ journals.…”

Recently, concern has been voiced within the academy regarding the marginalization of legal scholarship within the criminology and criminal justice (CCJ) discipline. Although conventional wisdom and anecdotal evidence indicate that it is difficult to get legal scholarship published in CCJ journals, there is a dearth of empirical evidence on the representation of legal scholarship in CCJ journals. The present study assesses the representation of legal scholarship in 20 CCJ journals from 2005 through 2015, examining both trends over time and variation across journals. Findings indicate legal scholarship comprises a very small portion of articles published, there has been a steep decline in the number of legal articles published in recent years and the average number of legal articles per year is very low for nearly all of the journals in the sample. The implications of the marginalization of legal scholarship within the CCJ discipline are discussed.
