*A plurality of the experts (43 out of 100) are currently or have previously been a member of state institutions such as government, security or intelligence services, policing or the military. The dominance of the state is even more pronounced if you consider the 20 most prominent experts (who together returned more items than the remaining 80 experts together), 12 of whom have such an affiliation, making up a clear majority of the most influential experts.

*The majority of the experts (52 of the 100) are currently or have previously been members of private think-tanks or research institutes.

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:Bulk List
Terrorexpertise:Scholar_List
Terrorexpertise:Google Books List
Terrorexpertise:Elite Conference List
Terrorexpertise:The 'Terrorism' Industry List

  2. ↑ The searches were based on the Christian name and Surname of the experts. Where the use of a middle name, middle initial or a variation on the individual’s Christian name appeared to be in common use this was also incorporated into the search. This was determined by a Google search of the individual’s Christian name and Surname and a noting down of all variations used in the first twenty results retured.
  3. ↑ The specific details of the search are as follows: [Name of Expert] and terrorism or terrorist or "suicide bomb*" (>=2000-01-01 and <=2007-12-01)
  4. ↑ Six experts returned a large number of items due to the fact that they were serving members of government, law enforcement, or leading politicians during the relevant period. These individuals were excluded from the list and are listed below alongside the number of items returned:

    Richard Clarke (2025 items)

Similarly a search for John Downing returned 114 items but 103 were articles written by the Toronto Sun journalist of the same name. A search for John O’Neill yielded 294 items but a number of those articles referred to other individuals of the same name and the majority concerned O’Neill’s death in the September 11th attacks. In addition the following eight experts were excluded because the articles returned referred predominantly to other individuals of the same name:
    Ali Khan (520 items)
    Robert Thompson (255 items)
    Michael Johnson (127 items)
    Alan Murray (115 items)
