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 prospects and licensing requirements

For those interested in pursuing a career in health promotion or public health sectors, one of the best routes to take is to become a licensed professional counselor. In addition to gaining a deep understanding of health-related topics, many roles within these sectors require specific professional licenses. For instance, in Nebraska, anyone who wants to work as a professional counselor must obtain an LPC license. This involves fulfilling a certain set of criteria and passing a state-specific examination. In Nebraska, the first step to obtaining an LPC license begins with earning a Master’s or doctoral degree in counseling or a closely related field from an accredited institution. This is followed by completing an approved internship of 100 hours. After completing this and other preliminary steps, candidates are required to pass the National Counselor Examination (NCE), administered by the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC). An important fact to consider is, even after a counselor has received an LPC license in Nebraska, they must maintain it through regular continuing education. For individuals seeking detailed guidance on How to become a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alaska, in this guide, you will find in-depth information on the steps towards becoming a licensed counselor, including education requirements, supervised practice, application process, examination details, and associated fees.
