Abstract:
This study examined the relationship between reputation and productivity
among social work researchers. The authors devised a method to gauge
reputational standing, using nominations from journal editors, research
textbook authors, and heads of research-dedicated social work organizations.
Productivity was measured by number of articles, number of books, number of
book chapters, and number of citations in the social work literature. The
study found that productivity rates varied consistently among the three
reputational groups (based on number of nominations) in the expected
direction. Within the high reputation group there were no differences in
productivity levels. However, a wide range in productivity was found within
each grouping. Various interpretations and implications of the results are
offered.
