“…Levitt and Venkatesh 2000 ). Collaborative papers, particularly those with interdisciplinary authors, can provide new insights and knowledge that would be missed by a single author; improve research quality, validity and integrity through shared oversight and combined expertise (Lemke et al 2015 ); and facilitate comparative research (see Barberet and Ellis 2013 ). While co-authorship has been identified as the ‘dominant form of scholarship’ within criminology (Fahmy and Young 2017 ), organised crime research is largely an individual endeavour with 60% (N = 317) of the published work in the field being single authored; 26.3% (N = 139) having two authors; 8.7% (N = 46) having three, and only 4.9% (N = 26) of papers having four or more authors (Fig.…”

Who researches organised crime? A review of organised crime authorship trends (2004–2019)

This article presents a review of organised crime authorship for all articles published in Trends in Organized Crime and Global Crime between 2004 and 2019 (N = 528 articles and 627 individual authors). The results of this review identify a field dominated by White men based in six countries, all in the Global North. Little collaboration occurs; few studies are funded, and few researchers specialise in the area. Organised crime research, however, does have a degree of variety in national origin, and therefore linguistic diversity, while the number of female researchers is growing. The article concludes that authorship trends are influenced by the challenges of data collection, funding availability, and more entrenched structural factors, which prevent some from entering into, and staying active within, the field.

“…Additionally, articles that were missing had fewer authors, on average. Again, given that they are older, this is not surprising; research suggests that solo authorship is declining and multi-authored articles are becoming increasingly more prevalent (see, e.g., Sever 2005;Tewksbury, De-Michele, and Miller 2005;Tewksbury and Mustaine 2011;Lemke, Johnson, and Jenks 2015). This was also true in Crime and Justice.…”

“…The reasons for this may include the emergence of modern communication technology, increasing pressures to publish, more specialized subfields, and more sophisticated methods of data analysis (Roche et al, 2019). Nonetheless, sole-authored publications are still a prerequisite for tenure and promotion, probably leading to a tension in the field (Lemke et al, 2015). Yet there has been relatively little reflection on these changes in criminology.…”

A farewell to the lone hero researcher: team research and writing

Criminology have long celebrated the lone hero researcher. Doing and writing up research in solitude has been the key to academic success and institutional promotions. However, the social sciences in general have increasingly moved towards more collaborative ways of doing research, and co-authorship has become more common. In this study, we summarize and discuss the pros and cons of working in teams when doing qualitative research. Drawing upon our own experiences from Mexico and Norway, we argue for a radical approach to team research and co-authorship, which we describe as team writing. Most importantly, we suggest opening up to include stakeholders and community partners, thus challenging the borders between researchers and those researched. This is arguably particularly important for research done in the academic, geographical and topical periphery of criminology. Team research and writing answers some of the critique of power inequality, representativity and lack of diversity in contemporary academic research. We also believe that team research, and writing, can make criminological research more multifaceted, reflexive, and thus better.
