The table presents data from an unpublished study by the Institute for Scientific Information that listed the 30 JEAB papers cited 115 or more times through 1986 in journals covered by the Social Science Citation Index. Those articles are here listed in order of their citations through 1993, the supplementary information coming from the more recent SSCI volumes. Data on citations from within JEAB itself for the years before 1966 were also included, taken from Dean, M. C. and Dean, D. J. H. (1980). Cumulative Citation Index for Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior: 1958 (Volume 1) to 1979 Volume 32). Draft, January 1980. (Unpublished).
