Why Are Most Of The Amazing Scholars White Men?

It’s that time of year where we faculty members look at how to serve humanity and improve society…. JUST KIDDING!  We look to the external validation machine.  We’ll submit articles in hopes they arrive at the highest-ranked journal, we’ll hope that the most impressive professors cite them, and we’ll definitely hope that someone takes note of the work we do.

It is with that interest that we look to, market, and gush over the most cited people in academia (using certain metrics of citation).  The most recent paper is that of Gregory Sisk, Nicole Caitlin, Katherine Veenis, and Nicole Zeman, Scholarly Impact of Law School Faculties in 2018: Updating the Leiter Score Ranking for the Top Third (August 13, 2018). It’s available at SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3230371.
