A recent poll of almost 10,000 people has ranked the names of NHL teams (that’s ice-hockey, for those of you who, like me, are not North American!). Leading the poll were the San Jose Sharks and trailing behind, in 32nd place, were Minnesota Wild.

Each calendar year, the members of the NAMES Editorial Board review the articles that appeared in the previous volume to determine the winners of the Best Article of the Year. All article publications are judged across the following three criteria: (1) creativity and originality; (2) potential scholarly contribution to onomastics; and (3) writing style and organization.
The article that was selected as the top publication for 2024 was contributed by a scientific team of three researchers: Siyue Li (Zhejiang University, CHINA), Chunyu Kit (City University of Hong Kong, HONG KONG), and Le Cheng (Zhejiang University, CHINA). Their article is entitled “Unveiling the Landscape of Onomastics from 1972 to 2022: A Bibliometric Analysis” appears in NAMES vol 72, no 3. As the title implies, the investigation provides an intriguing diachronic look at the publication trends in onomastic research over the past 6 decades. This innovative and insightful piece investigation can be read for free.
Interested readers are also invited to visit the NAMES website where all publications featured in NAMES are available to the general public.
