Annals of Dyslexia explores disciplines such as Dyslexia, Psycholinguistics, Reading (process), Cognitive psychology and Developmental psychology. The research on Dyslexia featured in it combines topics in other fields like Cognition, Phonological awareness, Reading comprehension, Spelling and Learning disability. Rapid automatized naming is part of Phonological awareness studies tackled in Annals of Dyslexia.

The journal focused on Reading comprehension research but expanded to cover Comprehension. The research on Spelling tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Orthography and Phonemic awareness.

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 37.84% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 16.22% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 8.11% of all publications and 37.84% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

The Role of School Psychologists in Dyslexia Research

School psychologists are an integral part of the field, providing perspective and expertise not just in understanding dyslexia's impacts on students' learning but also on their social and emotional wellbeing. These professionals are trained in education and psychology, enabling them to work with educators and parents to create effective interventions and programs to assist dyslexic students. In Illinois, the process of becoming a school psychologist can be quite intensive. It often involves obtaining a specialist-level degree in school psychology at least, which typically takes three years of post-baccalaureate work. The course of study includes topics like psychological assessment, educational intervention, learning theory, child psychology, psychopathology, human development, education, statistics and research design, behavior management, and ethics in school psychology. On top of this, school psychologists also need to complete a supervised internship period, typically lasting for a year. This gives them firsthand experience in using their knowledge and skills in a school setting. Would you like to learn more about the steps to become a school psychologist in Illinois? You can find detailed information on the school psychologist education requirements Illinois here. This can serve as a helpful guide for anyone interested in playing a role in improving the learning experiences of students with dyslexia.
