THE LUNAR EFFECT BIBLIOGRAPHY
The most extensive compilation of sources discussing the Moon's influence on human affairs

This book is a comprehensive list of English-language publications on the so-called “lunar effect” on humans. The material incorporates an annotated bibliography of wide-ranging sources between 1871 and 2017. Each work is listed by author, and includes the abstract or a descriptive summary.

Publications are also categorized to make the body of research more accessible. The material is classified as follows: by source of evidence such as primary, secondary and tertiary sources; by evidence for a lunar effect such as supportive and unsupportive research findings, favourable and unfavourable review conclusions, and author's assessments of findings and conclusions; by topic such as reproduction, personality, behaviour, crime, health, accidents, finance, and belief; by tertiary source type such as research summaries, topical overviews, general surveys, general references, and bibliographies; and by other source type such as briefs, commentaries, news, and web publications.

A full chapter is devoted to publication statistics featuring key citation data, and lists of most-influential sources, most-prolific authors, and most-active journals. Innovative metrics are introduced for measuring the impact of lunar effect publications, and for assessing the positions of authors and journal editors on the possible existence of a lunar effect. Research is examined through the lens of time to shed light on how and why our perspective on lunar effect findings has changed over the decades.

This first edition contains 338 entries in an annotated bibliography and 60 categorized citation lists, and includes comprehensive publication statistics, assessments of research and reviews with illustrative examples, as well as author, journal, book, and general indexes. It is hoped that this material will facilitate and encourage lunar effect research for the benefit of all.
