Australia's Field Leader in Audiology, Speech & Language Pathology (2018, 2019, 2020)

I am very honoured to learn that I am Australia's Research Field Leader in Audiology, Speech & Language Pathology for the third year in a row: 2018, 2019, 2020: https://specialreports.theaustralian.com.au/1540291/18/

This is wonderful confirmation of the impact of collaborative research with my Speech-Language-Multilingualism Team, since during 2018-2019 my personal research productivity was diminshed due to my cancer treatments. 

Here are our accomplishments in The Australian Research Rankings since they began:

  • 2018: Australia's Field Leader in Audiology, Speech & Language Pathology - Sharynne McLeod, CSU
  • 2018: Australia's Lead Institution in Audiology, Speech & Language Pathology - Charles Sturt Univeristy
  • 2019: World Leader in Audiology, Speech & Language Pathology - Sharynne McLeod, CSU
  • 2019: Australia's Field Leader in Audiology, Speech & Language Pathology - Sharynne McLeod, CSU
  • 2019: Australia's Lead Institution in Audiology, Speech & Language Pathology - Charles Sturt Univeristy
  • 2020: Australia's Field Leader in Audiology, Speech & Language Pathology - Sharynne McLeod, CSU
  • 2020: Australia's Lead Institution in Audiology, Speech & Language Pathology - University of Queensland

I am pleased that three CSU professors were named in 2020:

  • 2020: Australia's Field Leader in Insects and Arthropods - Geoff Gurr, CSU
  • 2020: Australia's Field Leader in Strategic Management - Morgan Miles, CSU
  • 2020: Australia's Field Leader in Audiology, Speech & Language Pathology - Sharynne McLeod, CSU 

CSU wrote a news release about the recognition: https://news.csu.edu.au/latest-news/three-charles-sturt-researchers-named-australian-leaders-in-their-fields

Here is how each ranking is calculated:

  • World Leader: "No other researcher in the world has a higher number of citations from papers published in the last five years in the top 20 journals in that particular field"
    (The Australian - Research, p. 10, September 23, 2020).
  • Field Leader: "In each of the 255 fields we name the Australian-based researcher whose papers published in the top 20 journals in their field in the past five years have had the most citations by other researchers" (The Australian - Research, p. 9, September 23, 2020).  
  • Lead Institution: "The top institution is the one which has the most citations from research published in the top 20 journals in that particular field in the last five years"  (The Australian - Research, p. 9, September 23, 2020).

Here are some news stories and my blog posts about our recognition in previous years:

SUMMARY: In 2018, 2019 and 2020 I was named Australia’s Research Field Leader in Audiology, Speech and Language Pathology and in 2019 was named the “best in the world based on the quality, volume and impact of work” by The Australian Newspaper who also named Charles Sturt University the Lead Institution in Audiology, Speech and Language Pathology in 2018 and 2019.
