Abstract
Using reference lists from 24 introductory psychology textbooks, we generated two tables: The first contains a list of the most frequently cited journal articles in the introductory texts; the second contains a list of the most frequently cited authors. The usefulness of citation indexes is discussed as well as why the two tables included in this article turned out as they did.Keywords
