%X We report impact data on faculty (N = 454) working in 30 of Canada¡¯s accredited social work programs during 2016. Using the Publish or Perish website, faculty member¡¯s h and g indices, and their most frequently cited articles published in the last decade were analyzed both individually and by school. (a) computed h scores were Ra 0.8¨C11.9, M = 4.4 and g scores were Ra 1.3¨C21.3, M = 7.7; (b) the top-ranked citation impact for programs were the University of Toronto, Dalhousie University, and the University of British Columbia; (c) larger programs had significantly higher citation impact for both h and g scores than smaller programs; (d) 17 (27%) of these authors had 10-year citation counts ranging from 176 to 666; and (e) their topics related to children/youth/adolescents (35%) and health care (35%). Based on our work in this area, we offer some constructive recommendations to Canadian social work programs and faculty
