A bibliometric analysis of articles in SocialWork in Health Care in the 1990s<br/><br/>Rosenberg Gary; Holden Gary; Barker Kathleen<br/><br/>Abstract: Scholars spend a considerable amount of time reflecting upon theirprofessional work. When individuals decide to communicate theirprofessional thoughts beyond informal venues, the penultimate expressionof their reflection is the peer reviewed journal article. The studyreported here entailed a bibliometric analysis of articles appearing inthe journal Social Work in Health Care during the 1990s, in order tobetter understand what happens to our ideas after they appear in a peerreviewed journal article.

Citation analysis, a component ofbibliometrics, focuses on the quantitative assessment of citationpatterns within a body of literature. Citation analysis has been used insocial work to examine the quantity and the impact of the work ofindividuals and academic institutions.

Spark&rsquo;s elderly characters are complex moralactors&mdash;some virtuous and some decidedly not&mdash;who have beenreceiving mysterious phone calls telling them simply, &ldquo;Rememberyou must die.&rdquo; We, the co-authors, are from two differentdisciplines, namely Renaissance and medieval literature, and social workand critical gerontology. Among the questions that interest us is theparadox of a master narrative that on the one hand exempts the old frommoral criticism yet holds them to a higher moralstandard&mdash;essentially positioning them as moral nonentities, andrelieving the old, their caretakers, and society of moralresponsibility. Another is the question of whether moral agency in oldage has distinctive aspects, and whether consciousness of one&rsquo;simpending mortality effects moral reasoning and performance.

Respondents rate their level of confidence regarding eachitem on an 11-point scale (0=cannot do at all; 50=moderately certain cando; 100=certain can do). The RSE takes approximately five minutes tocomplete; its readability estimate is Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level 11.2.The RSE assesses social work students' confidence in their ability toperform nine specific research activities. The RSE exhibited highinternal consistency and the data provided preliminary evidencesupporting its construct validity. The scale was sufficiently sensitiveto detect change in students' research self-efficacy from the beginningto the end of their participation in a single-semester research course.

Fieldwork plays a critical role in social work educationfor such demanding practice by providing interns initial opportunitiesto apply their newly acquired knowledge, skills and abilities. Thisarticle discusses the contribution of fieldwork to the preparation ofsocial work practitioners and presents two programs that may serve asalternative models of fieldwork. Observations of the impact of thesemodels, including a summary of two evaluations of one model arepresented.

Concerns regarding the utility of bibliometrics ingeneral, and the impact factor score (IFS) in particular, have beendiscussed across disciplines including social work. While there arefrequent mentions in the literature of the IFS as an indicator of theimpact or quality of scholars&rsquo; work, little empirical work hasbeen published regarding the validity of such use. Method: Aproportionate, stratified, random sample, of n=323 articles was selectedfrom 17 Web of Science listed social work journals published during the1992-1994 period. Results: The relationship between journals&rsquo;impact factor scores and the actual impact of articles published inthose journals (predictive validity) was r = .41 (short term) and r =.42 (long term). Conclusion: The practice of using the IFS as a proxyindicator of article impact merits significant concern as well asfurther empirical investigation.

The impactof these two types of placement on students&rsquo; general sense ofself-efficacy, self-efficacy regarding specific hospital social workactivities and perceptions of the work environment, was assessed.Initial results suggest that both groups produce virtually no change instudents&rsquo; general sense of selfefficacy, yet produce positivechanges in students&rsquo; self-efficacy regarding hospital social work.In addition, results suggest that the fieldwork rotation used in thesecond group may produce somewhat more positive views of the workenvironment.
