A Reply to Slater, Scourfield and Sloan %U http://bjsw.oxfordjournals.org/content/44/2/469.abstract %V 44 %X This article responds to Slater, Scourfield and Sloan's assessment and analysis of our earlier British Journal of Social Work article delineating the 100 most highly cited articles in disciplinary social work journals during the past decade. We address two primary issues in our response. First, we provide background on the circumstances that animated the larger research agenda from which the BJSW article emanated. Second, we discuss how the authors' empirical work illustrates the potential of citation analysis to spark conversations that facilitate professional reflection and growth. We conclude by noting that every method is characterised by a certain set of limitations and that citation analysis has the potential to assist both social workers and their profession if used appropriately.
