Citation analysis can yield objective criteria for assessing the value of published research, and is becoming increasingly popular as an academic evaluation tool in universities around the world. Citation analysis is useful for examining the research performance of academic researchers and identifying leaders among them. The aim of this study was to analyze citations to publications in psychosocial oncology and supportive care in oncology and palliative care, and authored by Canadians. The journal publication records of 124 non-retired psychosocial oncology researchers were subject to citation analysis using the Scopus database. This analysis was guided by a set of decision rules for article inclusion that were reviewed and modified by five Canadian experts representing four disciplines in psychosocial oncology and supportive care. The top 20 psychosocial oncology researchers for each of the following four citation categories were identified: the number of career citations for all psychosocial oncology publications; the number of career citations for first-authored publications; the h-index for all publications; and the h-index for first-authored publications. In addition, the 20 most cited publications in the field of psychosocial oncology were calculated. The individuals who hold the #1 position in each of the lists are Dr. Kerry Courneya (University of Alberta; #1 on three lists), Dr. Lesley Degner (University of Manitoba), and Dr. Harvey Chochinov (University of Manitoba).
