Bibliometrics in Social Work

By Gary Holden

Book Overview

Bibliometrics in Social Work reviews the pros and cons of using bibliometrics to track patterns of publication in social work research. This unique book is a valuable aid in helping social work scholars decide what--and where--to publish with a particular emphasis placed on citation analysis. The book includes a study of articles published in Social Work in Health Care during the 1990s and the subsequent citations elsewhere, a proposal for a bibliometric decision-making aid for use by faculty committees in academic employment decisions, and a critical look at the future of bibliometric research.
