Overview

Top Research Topics at Experimental Aging Research?

The aim of the journal is to expand the discussion of research in Developmental psychology, Cognition, Young adult, Audiology and Context (language use). While Experimental Aging Research focused on Developmental psychology, it was also able to explore topics like Recall and Task (project management). The Recall works, particularly on Free recall are tackled in Experimental Aging Research.

While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Cognition, it also covered topics in Cognitive psychology, Gerontology and Perception. The Audiology study featured in the journal draws parallels with the field of Stimulus (physiology).

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, 7.27% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 5.88% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 3.92% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 1.96% of all publications and 88.24% 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.

Exploring Careers: Becoming a School Psychologist in Hawaii

Further to the research topics we cover and the numerous opportunities for participation, Experimental Aging Research also recognizes the importance of career development for upcoming researchers and professionals. One career within our focus area of developmental and cognitive psychology is school psychology.

In Hawaii, the role of a school psychologist is rapidly evolving and gaining attention. School psychologists in the "Aloha State" play a crucial part in fostering the healthy growth and development of its young population. They are entrusted with supporting students' ability to learn and teachers' ability to teach. They also apply expertise in mental health, learning, and behavior, to help children and youth succeed academically, socially, emotionally, and behaviorally.

Fulfilling this role requires a comprehensive understanding of the standards and requirements for becoming a school psychologist in Hawaii. To this end, we have put together an informative guide covering the essential aspects, such as the required education, licensure, specialization options, and more. It serves as a valuable resource for those contemplating or currently pursuing studies in school psychology.

To learn more about the school psychologist requirements in Hawaii, kindly read through our guide, offering detailed insights into the profession and its requirements.
