Abstract
This study explores the relationship between scholarly productivity—as evidenced in publication and citation rates—and institutional reputation among leading schools of social work. Using the Social Sciences Citation Index to establish publication and citation records for 333 faculty members from 13 schools of social work, the authors (a) examine 7 hypotheses on publication/citation rates and institutional productivity, and (b) compare their study to those conducted previously. They propose an index, the “critical mass of scholarly activity,” for determining institutional scholarly productivity.Keywords
