Methodology
Below is a table of the 100 Terrorism Experts most prominent in major world newspapers. 437 names were taken from the Bulk List of experts and searched at LexisNexis's Major World Newspapers group[1] for items published between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2007. The search included each expert’s name [2] as well as any reference to 'terrorism', 'terrorist' or variations of the phrase 'suicide bomb'[3]. The 100 most prolific experts are reproduced in the table below in descending order of the number of items returned. The table also displays the variations of each individual’s name used in the search.
Sixteen experts though their name returned the requisite number of items were excluded from this list, details of which are included in the Notes section below. [4].
This list is one of a number compiled including:

- Terrorexpertise:Google Books List
- Terrorexpertise:Elite Conference List
