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 and Licensing in Gender Studies

Gender studies is an impactful field, providing essential insights into several sectors. It offers numerous career paths that could influence social policy, public relations, and organizational culture to name just a few. One notable path is becoming a licensed counselor specializing in gender issues.

To become a licensed counselor, several steps need to be taken. Firstly, one must complete a relevant bachelor's degree, possibly in gender studies. This is followed by a master's degree, typically in counseling, which delves deeper into the theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed. After this, individuals must complete a certain amount of supervised counselling work, pass a state licensing exam, and finish any other state-specific requirements.
