Abstract:
Although journals are the primary vehicle though which social work
professionals explore innovative interventions, research strategies, and
policy ideas, journal quality has received little attention in the
literature. This project extends a 1990 study and presents multiple measures
for assessing journal quality. The primary data source is a national survey
of 556 faculty from accredited schools of social work; additional data were
compiled from the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI). Findings indicate
that journal rankings have changed since 1990 and are considerably different
from the SSCI ratings. Multiple evaluation systems are recommended for
assessing social work journal quality.
