Citation Impact Factors among Faculty in Canadian Social Work Programs
Holosko, Michael J.; Mishna, Faye; Graham, John R.; Allen, Junior L.
Research on Social Work Practice, v28 n5 p619-627 Jul 2018
Purpose: We report impact data on faculty (N = 454) working in 30 of Canada's accredited social work programs during 2016. Method: Using the "Publish or Perish" website, faculty member's "h" and "g" indices, and their most frequently cited articles published in the last decade were analyzed both individually and by school. Findings: (a) computed "h" scores were R[subscript a] 0.8-11.9, "M" = 4.4 and "g" scores were R[subscript a] 1.3-21.3, "M" = 7.7; (b) the top-ranked citation impact for programs were the University of Toronto, Dalhousie University, and the University of British Columbia; (c) larger programs had significantly higher citation impact for both "h" and "g" scores than smaller programs; (d) 17 (27%) of these authors had 10-year citation counts ranging from 176 to 666; and (e) their topics related to children/youth/adolescents (35%) and health care (35%). Discussion: Based on our work in this area, we offer some constructive recommendations to Canadian social work programs and faculty.
