View
In 2024 Monash University researchers produced 343 publications related to SDG 10, with a mean Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI) of 2.19.
What is Field-Weighted Citation Impact?
Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI) refers to the ratio of the actual number of citations received by a research output and the total citations expected based on the average of the subject field. An FWCI value of 1 may be interpreted as having ‘world average impact’. Thus, a publication with an FWCI of more than 1 indicates higher than expected citations based on the global average for similar publications. As FWCI reflects citations received to date, a publication’s FWCI value may fluctuate over time.

EDI Research Showcase at Monash Malaysia
View
The Gender Studies Team, including Dr Herbary Cheung, Professor Sharon A. Bong, and Dr Joseph N. Goh from the School of Arts and Social Sciences, launched Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Week with a research showcase on diverse genders, sexes, and sexualities. The event, themed 'Omissions and Opportunities', highlighted the sidelining of LGBTIQA+ issues and the potential for fostering recognition and empowerment.
The presentations covered topics such as the lived experiences of sexual minority single mothers in Thailand, the intersection of queerness and religion among Malaysian gay Christians, and the vulnerabilities faced by Malaysian transgender men.
The showcase emphasised the importance of creating an inclusive community within the university and beyond.
Debunking the perceived associations between ethnicity and youth gangs
View
Research published in the Journal of Youth Studies debunks myths about the association between ethnicity and youth gangs in Australia. The study, which uses data from the Australia Youth Safety Survey, shows no link between migrant status and youth crime, challenging racial profiling and media narratives that associate ethnic identity with gang activity.
The research highlights the detrimental impact of such profiling on migrant youth and emphasises the importance of fostering positive images of immigrants to enhance community integration.
