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 Pathways and Educational Requirement in Clinical Psychology

A career in Clinical Psychology, a prominently mentioned field in the Current Sexual Health Reports, necessitates a solid educational foundation and specific licensure. Typically, the journey starts with acquiring a bachelor’s degree in psychology or a related field. This is followed by pursuing a master's degree in psychology, although some individuals may proceed directly to a doctoral program after their undergraduate studies. Then, a doctoral degree is required, which could either be a Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) or a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Psychology. Licensure requirements in psychology vary by state. In the state of Missouri, the licensure process mandates a doctoral degree, a certain number of supervised professional experience hours, and successful completion of the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP). Additionally, a jurisprudence exam specific to Missouri rules and guidelines in psychology practices is required. As the field continually develops, continuing education is also essential to maintain the license and stay updated with current research trends and practices.
