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, 45.45% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% 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 36.36% 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.

Potential Career Paths For Graduates

An additional pathway for those engaging in educational research and evaluation could be to consider becoming a marriage and family therapist. This profession requires a solid foundation in psychology, sociology, child development, and other related disciplines featured in our journal. A therapist in this field works with couples and families, helping them navigate difficult situations and improve their relationships. This role requires sharp analytical skills and a deep understanding of social, developmental and educational psychology. Graduate level education is typically required, along with specific licensure depending on the state. For instance, if you wish to practice in South Carolina, you would need a masters or doctoral degree in marriage and family therapy or a related field. Moreover, a supervised clinical internship and passing a state-issued exam are mandatory. Detailed guidelines on how to become a marriage and family therapist in South carolina. Becoming a marriage and family therapist can be a rewarding career option for those with a background in educational research. You have the opportunity to make a positive impact on people's lives and contribute to healthier family dynamics. It's a role that is both challenging and fulfilling, and it also offers opportunities for continued learning and professional growth.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Pursuing social sciences and humanities opens doors to diverse career paths, often supported by specialized online degrees. For instance, students interested in information management and research can explore a librarian degree online. These programs equip learners with skills to organize, manage, and preserve knowledge in various settings.

Language proficiency degrees also offer promising opportunities. Many institutions provide short Spanish degrees online, which are ideal for quickly building expertise in a globally significant language. Additionally, veterans seeking tailored educational options can benefit from online Spanish degree for military veterans programs, designed to support their unique needs and leverage their experiences.

Beyond language and library sciences, social sciences also prepare students for high-impact roles such as criminal profiling. Detailed guidance on how to become a profiler is available, outlining necessary education, salary expectations, and job outlook through resources like how to become a profiler. This pathway combines psychology, law enforcement, and analytical skills to contribute to public safety.
