Once again, it's fourth dimension for every police pull professor's favorite guilty pleasure, the Greg Sisk/Brian Leiter lists of citation counts. For this calendar week in addition to adjacent Brian is featuring on his the summit police pull faculties past times median in addition to hateful citations, in addition to the top private scholars inwards diverse areas of legal scholarship.
Sisk's in addition to Leiter's method for counting citations performs searches inwards the police pull journals department of Westlaw for a iv twelvemonth menses (2013-2017) using the formula (firstname /2 lastname). In my case, that would live (Jack /2 Balkin).
[The total Westlaw formula, inwards representative yous are interested, is: TE(Jack /2 Balkin) in addition to appointment (aft 2012) in addition to appointment (bef 2018).]
Unfortunately for me, I wrote nether a dissimilar name, J.M. Balkin, until 2001. So the Sisk-Leiter count does non option upwardly citations to these before works, which include my commencement 52 articles in addition to my commencement 2 books.
Searching with (Jack /2 Balkin) yields 1585 citations. But searching with (Jack or "J.M." /2 Balkin) yields 1740.
Greg Sisk has graciously agreed to include both of my names (Jack in addition to J.M.) inwards his adjacent citation count report several years from now. He is non going to update my count inwards his electrical flow faculty lists, however, because he focuses on the total citations for entire police pull schoolhouse faculties. So the deviation volition accept no upshot on the median pose out of citations for Yale faculty in addition to exclusively a real kid upshot on the mean.
Brian Leiter has explained that he does non innovation to update the citation counts inwards this year's lists of private scholars (although I assume he volition search for both of my names inwards hereafter lists). He explained that at that topographic point could live many other people who are inwards a like position, in addition to therefore it would live advertizement hoc exclusively to update my citation counts. Moreover, doing in addition to therefore would exclusively bump me upwardly 2 or 3 slots inwards his lists.
However, the lesson hither is that if yous accept e'er written nether to a greater extent than than i scream (whether commencement or last), yous should allow Greg Sisk know inwards advance.
There are, however, around amusing effects of using the right citation counts.
First, updating this listing of most cited originalist scholars courtesy of Michael Ramsey, I am straightaway the well-nigh cited originalist inwards the American legal academy.
Second, with the summit 5 well-nigh cited originalist scholars inwards the American legal academy, (me, Akhil Amar, Michael McConnell, Randy Barnett, in addition to Lawrence Solum) 3 are liberals in addition to i is a libertarian. Only i is a political conservative.
What this way for originalism I locomote out to the reader to figure out.
