These have generated 17880 citations with an h-index of 61 in Google Scholar.He was also winner of a Special Judges Award in the category of Best Use of IT in Clinical Care in Great Britain as part of the 1998 National Health Care IT Effectiveness Awards. In 2015, he received the Senior Research Award of the Royal Australian & New Zealand College of Psychiatrists as well as the Alex Leighton Award from the Canadian Psychiatric Association and Canadian Academy of Psychiatric Epidemiology Association. He is also a distinguished fellow of the Canadian Psychiatric Association.
Professor Kisely’s work has focussed on the use of both routine data and meta-analyses to inform health service delivery and policy in both Canada and Australia. For instance his work on mental health surveillance using administrative data, commenced in Canada but completed in Australia, contributed to the development and adoption of a standard case definition for the surveillance of psychiatric disorders by the Public Health Agency of Canada. This work also lead to being engaged by the Mental Health Commission of Canada to co-author a report on Mental Health Data needs in Canada. Professor Kisely was subsequently the 1st author on an invited review for the CMAJ on the use of administrative data in the surveillance of alcohol-related harm. A further research project on emergency psychiatric services, funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research but completed in Australia, led to the roll-out of a mobile crisis service across Capital Health - the largest DHA in Nova Scotia with 40% of its province's population. In addition pharmaco-epidemiological work on the metabolic consequences of psychotropic med action using routine health data led to the Canadian Psychiatric Association‘s R.O. Jones Award in 2008.
Professor Kisely’s work on administrative data and pharmaco-vigilance led to an invitation to serve on the Research and Investment Advisory Committee of the Australian e-Health Research Centre of the CSIRO. Professor Kisely also served on the Management Committee of the NCRIS funded Population Health Research Network to promote the linkage and use of administrative data across Australia by researchers and decision-makers (2009-2013). He is currently a member of the Committees for Research of both the Royal Australasian College of Physicians, and the Royal Australian & New Zealand College of Psychiatrists.

Studying the long-tern consequences of child maltreatment in a population birth cohortt
Retrospective studies show a strong association between self-reported child abuse and subsequent tobacco use. Prospective studies using reports to statutory agencies are less common with limited information on people in their 30s. In addition, there have been no comparison of the effect of self- and agency-reported abuse on outcomes. This research uses data from a longitudinal birth cohort study that was linked to notifications of child maltreatment (CM) to Queensland’s child protection agency, the Department of Families, Youth and Community Care (DFYCC) to study the psychological, physical and cognitive effects in adlulthood of CM
