Journal of Technology in Human Services

The Journal of Technology in Human Services explores the potential of information and communication technologies (ICT) across the social, development and human services sectors. This journal illuminates the intersections of the evolving infosphere, including how human beings interact with data and devices and the impacts these innovations have on the full range of individual, organizational and social structures. We publish work that is conceptual in nature in addition to research reports and meta-analyses. The journal welcomes interdisciplinary scholarship as well as papers reporting on computational and statistical methods. The Journal of Technology in Human Services focuses on areas such as: -New ICT specific to human services practitioners, community development professionals, community organizers and those working in public agencies at all levels. -Research studies on topics such as factors that influence application uptake, mechanism for identifying and overcoming resistance, ethical challenges, worker displacement, data ownership and transparency and social justice issues related to ICT implementation and use; as well as theory building and testing. -Clinical and experimental designs of innovative ICT applications, including: multimedia, geographic information systems, performance support systems, telehealth, virtual assistants, novel applications of virtual reality and other allied ICTs. -Big data, data science and predictive analytics as both a modality and mechanisms for conducting research in all sectors related to human services including child welfare, juvenile justice, and public education. -Small data and integrated data sharing. Data management, impact assessment and outcome management for use in agency-based settings.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.
