• W4387470197 abstract "Objectives Coleman (2011) is a highly cited review article about the mental health effects of abortion that is commonly referenced outside academia by policymakers and jurists. While conclusions from this article do not match scientific consensus, the citation count has been used as evidence of scholarly legitimacy. Not all citations signify endorsement, however. We examine the citation patterns of Coleman (2011) over time to evaluate the claim of academic quality. Methods We retrieved all citations of the focal article from Google Scholar on December 7, 2022 (n=304). We excluded publications not written in English, not peer-reviewed, or those that listed the focal article in the works cited but not the text. Using qualitative content analysis, we coded each individual citation of Coleman as critical — established or raised concerns about the quality of the research — or uncritical — merely reported or endorsed the research findings. Inter-coder reliability exceeded 95%. Results Some 117 publications met our inclusion criteria, representing 174 individual citations of Coleman (2011): 33.9% of citations were critical, challenging Coleman’s conclusions or methodology. Critical citations peaked in 2014. Over time, the proportion of critical and uncritical citations has shifted: between 2018 and 2022, 86.4% of citations were uncritical. Conclusions The high proportion of critical citations of Coleman undercuts the premise that high citation counts convey legitimacy and problematizes the simplistic use of citation counts as evidence of academic quality. Findings reveal complexities in how scholarly research is understood and referenced in public, political and judicial discourse. The continuing uncritical citation of the focal article bears further investigation.
