Objectives:
A bibliometric survey was conducted, using network and textual analysis tools, to assess the current state of the research enterprise at Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College and to augment planning processes.
Methods:
Searches were conducted via several databases to identify publications attributable to the institution. Bibliometric data were summarized and post-processed using the programme VosViewer and analysis tools provided in the Web of Science.
Results:
Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College is a productive source of peer-reviewed publications supported by a diverse suite of funding agencies and collaborating institutions, and published across a broad range of journals.
Conclusions:
As a private, single-purpose educational institution, awarding a qualification only in chiropractic, Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College probably performs well in its class of institution in terms of research productivity. However, assessment is constrained by inconsistencies on the part of authors, journals and databases in archiving data.
