Kulikowski 2002, pp. 69–70. "The use of the term 'barbarian' is deliberate and surely non-pejorative. It is to be preferred programmatically to the noun 'German' and the adjective 'Germanic'. 'Germans' and 'Germanic peoples' are the legacy of nineteenth-century philology." Kulikowski, Michael (2002). "Nation versus Army: A Necessary Contrast". In Gillett, Andrew (ed.). On Barbarian Identity: Critical Approaches to Ethnicity in the Early Middle Ages. ISD. pp. 69–85. ISBN9782503511689.
Kulikowski 2006, p. 43. "[O]ne can find it stated that written sources, archaeology, and linguistic evidence all demonstrate that just such a migration took place, if not out of Scandinavia then at least out of Poland. In fact, there is just a single source for this extended story of Gothic migration, the Getica of Jordanes." Kulikowski, Michael (2006). Rome's Gothic Wars: From the Third Century to Alaric. Cambridge University Press. ISBN978-1139458092.
Kulikowski 2009, pp. 1201–1202. "James is clearly correct in deciding to use "barbarian" as a technical term that avoids any implications about ethnicity... This is particularly welcome given the resurgence of "Germanic" as a catch-all term for northern barbarians... [T]he dogma of barbarian ethnogenesis—first brought into English-language scholarship by Patrick Geary and now the dominant approach to the barbarians among early medievalists—is really a way to bring long-distance migration from the Germanic north in by the back door."
