Month: September 2012

Published on

Reports on the most highly cited journal articles published by GW faculty in 2011 are now available on the Himmelfarb Library's Faculty Publications webpage .

There are three reports, one each for the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Public Health and Health Services, and School of Nursing. The reports were compiled by taking the titles of papers published in 2011 from the faculty publications database and entering the titles in Scopus on 9/7/12 and sorting the results by citation count. The faculty publications database is a compilation of citations to journal articles, books, book chapters, reports, and audiovisual materials published by both full and part time faculty in the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Public Health and Health Services, and School of Nursing. Citations are identified from periodic searches of the library databases: MEDLINE, Scopus, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Global Health, SPORTDiscus, and Health Policy Reference Center, using a combination of zip code and name of institution in the address fields. Citations from books were forwarded from the library's acquisitions department.
