dc.description.abstractCharacterization of Scientific journals based on citations, references, bibliometric indicators has a long history. Evaluating a journal may be used to represent the extent of use to identify the scientific eminence of research publications. This paper provided a citation network analysis of publications from the SJSS. The analysis covered publications in the journal from 2015–2019. The Sri Lanka Journal of Social Sciences (SJSS) is published twice a year, in June and December, by the National Science Foundation of Sri Lanka. The journal publishes articles in Sinhala, Tamil and English languages, covering the entire range of social sciences focusing on Sri Lanka and/or other South Asian countries. The Journal is indexed in Scopus and Emerging Sources Citation Index. The paper analysed the most published authors, most cited articles, uncited articles, most prolific authors, top institutions, collaboration profile of authors, and the nationalities of authors, that are most represented in the journal. 67 articles were taken from the primary data source, the Google Scholar using Publish or Perish (POP) software. An analysis of 114 citations was carried out using the POP online analytics tool and Excel. Results indicated that 47% of SJSS research publications have received a minimum of single citations. 101 authors have been contributed to 67 articles published during the study period in SJSS. In terms of collaboration profile, the SJSS’s authors showed a preference for “Single– authored” papers. Only 29 (43%) papers were two authored or Mega authored. The most cited article is “Impact of microfinance on women's empowerment: a case study on two microfinance institutions in Sri Lanka” authored by Herath, H and Guneratne, LHP published in 2015.
