Abstract
The present chapter provides a brief chronology of the best known and most widely cited of the many “Hair et al.” references, Multivariate Data Analysis. Along with providing a description of each edition of the book, brief citation analyses allow the chapter to convey the scale of impact resulting from the book. The near countless citations place Multivariate Data Analysis among the truly elite scholarly reference books across a myriad of disciplines, languages, countries, and years. In fact, an increasing trend in the number of citations suggests a long life ahead for this approachable statistics book that has helped so many in the past.
