Zusammenfassung:Citation counts have commonly been used to measure “influence” of criminal justice and criminology (CCJ) scholars and articles. However, citation counts do not reflect influence outside of academia and thus may not be the best way to determine the true impact of scholarly work. This study uses the Altmetrics Attention Score (AAS) to measure which CCJ articles are the most influential in CCJ. Results demonstrate how AAS affects the ranking of “top” articles relative to the typical citation count measures. Implications for future ranking studies are discussed.
