Journal of Social Distress and the Homeless

Journal of Social Distress and Homelessness (SDH) is an international publication of original, peer-reviewed papers on psychosocial distress and homelessness throughout society. The Journal publishes original research papers, theoretical papers, review papers, brief reports, review articles, and special issues. The Journal is designed for professionals in the behavioral, medical, psychological, and social sciences. The Journal is dedicated to innovative and timely studies in three broad areas of research: 1. Social distress and disorganization across different groups, cultures, and settings, in areas such as education, healthcare, criminal justice, economics, social services, and families. Research on disadvantaged populations is particularly welcome. 2. Clinical, epidemiological, methodological, and health services research on homelessness. Related research on poverty, inadequate or unstable housing, and associated mental and physical illnesses is encouraged. 3. New methodologies for research on social distress and the homeless. These methodologies can include newly developed instruments, measures, and tests; novel recruitment and sampling strategies; advanced analytic techniques and statistical approaches; and technology-based solutions.

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.

Cites per Doc

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.
