Tracking 50 Plus Years of Growth in Scholarly Output in the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, the Milken Institute School of Public Health and the School of Nursing
The Himmelfarb Health Sciences Library serves the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, the Milken Institute School of Public Health, and the School of Nursing. Over the last half century, the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, and the more recently incorporated Schools of Public Health and Nursing, have experienced substantial growth in their research enterprise and a corresponding increase in scholarly communications. Using statistics and metrics derived from bibliographic databases, this poster will track the growth in scholarly output from 1960 to the present. Number of publications will be tracked and additional metrics will be explored. These metrics include influential papers as measured by citation analysis, key author affiliations, and global reach. Journals and subject areas in which faculty regularly publish will also be identified. Trends over time will be analyzed and emerging methods of exploring impact will be highlighted. This poster hopes to highlight a strong record of growth in scholarship among the three schools served
