| Abstract: |
A review of literature related to the existence of an invisible college community among coauthors of articles in top-rated social work journals indicated that an invisible college could promote quality scholarship but that coauthoring might be inadequately studied or valued in social work education. Social network analysis revealed a skeletal piece of the top-rated social work journal coauthor network, visualized it, documented its growth between the overlap ping periods 2001-2005 and 2004-2008, and associated that growth with increasing citations of networked coauthors. Possible continued growth of the invisible college suggests the need to examine coauthoring, the means of evaluating coauthor contributions, and the content of social work scholarship.
