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, 8.33% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 54.55% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 9.09% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.18% of all publications and 18.18% 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.

Career Opportunities for Forensic Scientists in Community Mental Health Research

An emerging field that intersects social psychology, psychiatry, clinical psychology, and forensic science is community mental health. With the trend towards integrating forensic science into mental health investigations reaching a peak, Canadian journal of community mental health has started focussing on articles that span these areas. While a direct entry into this field of research involves a preliminary understanding of the fundamentals of mental health, an additional background in forensic science can significantly improve the depth of the research. As such, a career as a forensic scientist with a focus on mental health is rewarding not only in terms of knowledge expansion but also in the possibilities of influencing mental health policies. However, for newcomers to the field, the path towards becoming a forensic scientist may seem daunting, particularly with a focus on community mental health. To guide prospective researchers and practitioners, we have developed a comprehensive guide on how to become a forensic scientist in Wisconsin, a state known for its extensive medical research ecosystem. This guide outlines the academic and professional trajectory for individuals interested in a career in forensic science. It provides detailed information on the educational qualifications, specific skill sets, internships, job prospects, professional associations, and potential career advancements in forensic science. The guide not only presents the various steps to become a forensic scientist but also discusses the different applications of forensic science, such as community mental health, nursing, and the like. Aspiring forensic professionals and mental health researchers would benefit from understanding the diverse career opportunities in their field. A rewarding career awaits those ready to contribute to mental health research through the unique lens of forensic science.
