The aim of the journal is to expand the discussion of research in Autism, Applied behavior analysis, Intervention (counseling), Autism spectrum disorder and Medical education. Autism research presented in Behavior analysis in practice encompasses a variety of subjects, including Cognitive psychology, Generalization (learning) and Applied psychology. The studies on Applied behavior analysis discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Service delivery framework, Acceptance and commitment therapy and Telehealth.
Issues in Intervention (counseling) were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Psychological intervention and Clinical psychology. Behavior analysis in practice connects the study in Autism spectrum disorder with the closely related area of Audiology. It discusses concepts in Training (civil) under Medical education and how they intertwine with disciplines like Staff training and Skills training.
The Developmental psychology study featured in it draws parallels with the field of Reinforcement. Discussions in the journal are anchored in the subject of Certification and the similar topic of Engineering ethics.
The journal publications mostly deal with topics like Autism, Medical education, Applied behavior analysis, Intervention (counseling) and Certification.

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, 14.67% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 33.76% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.83% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 23.57% of all publications and 31.85% were from other institutions.
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.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
