Abstract
This paper investigated the scientific impact of social science scholars with senate positions at Turkish public universities in 2014. The number of social science scholars within thegiven year with senatorial duties was 967. They had 812 WoS publications and 2868 WoS citations. Public finance administration, law, archeology, politics, art history, and theology departments had the lowest scientific impact while economics administration, social services, psychology, and geography departments had the highest scientific impact. The scientific contribution of such scholars to their universities merits discussion.
