The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Clinical psychology, Suicide prevention, Domestic violence, Psychiatry and Human factors and ergonomics. The study of Clinical psychology encompasses disciplines such as Psychological abuse, as well as fields such as Neglect, all of which overlap with one another. The studies on Suicide prevention discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Psychological intervention, Injury prevention and Occupational safety and health.
It focuses on Domestic violence but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Social psychology, Criminology and Public relations. The journal explores issues in Psychiatry which can be linked to other research areas like Sexual abuse and Victimology. The main emphasis of it is the subject of Sexual abuse, focusing on Physical abuse.
It holds forums on Mental health that merges themes from other disciplines such as Terrorism and Public health. The Aggression research discussed is included in the broader subject of Developmental psychology. In addition to Developmental psychology research, Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment & Trauma aims to explore topics under Social relation, Child abuse, Cognition, Social environment and Interpersonal relationship.
The journal articles are mainly concerned with subjects like Suicide prevention, Domestic violence, Developmental psychology, Clinical psychology and Human factors and ergonomics. Issues in Suicide prevention were discussed in the most cited papers, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Injury prevention and Criminology. The studies on Developmental psychology discussed at the most cited papers can also contribute to research in the domains of Social relation, Interpersonal relationship and Child abuse, Victimology.
The aim of Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment & Trauma is to expand the discussion of research in Clinical psychology, Domestic violence, Developmental psychology, Criminology and Aggression. Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment & Trauma addresses concerns in Clinical psychology which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Mental health, Sexual abuse, Association (psychology) and Depression (differential diagnoses). Psychological intervention, Criminalization, Gender studies, Immigration and Public health are some topics wherein Domestic violence research discussed in Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment & Trauma have an impact.
Aside from research in Developmental psychology, it also discusses Perspective (graphical) studies. While work presented in it provided substantial information on Criminology, it also covered topics in Context (language use) and Spanish Civil War. Aggression research discussed in it aim to provide more information in the subject of Social psychology.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment & Trauma (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment & Trauma (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
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, 8.64% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 18.92% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.11% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.57% of all publications and 55.41% were from other institutions.
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.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
One area that the Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment & Trauma could look into further is Behavior Analysis. The field of behavior analysis can offer unique insights into understanding aggression, domestic violence, mental trauma, and their prevention. By studying behavior at a granular level, researchers can identify patterns and triggers, potentially paving the way for improved interventions and therapeutic solutions.
Within this wide-ranging field, a significant sub-domain is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), which is especially useful in addressing issues like aggression and trauma. ABA employs systematic methods of understanding and changing behavior in real-world settings. This branch, in particular, might resonate with the journal's current focus on Clinical Psychology, Domestic Violence, and Mental Health.
The state of Florida, for instance, has numerous practicing clinicians who are Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). These professionals are contributing significantly to understanding and addressing aggressive behavior, maltreatment, and trauma, often working in multidisciplinary teams along with psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers. Their practical insights can make a significant contribution to the field of research.
If you are interested in diving deeper into this field and pursuing a potential career path as a behavior analyst, you can learn more about how to become one from resources like how to become a behavior analyst in Florida.
Engaging with professionals and researchers in Behavior Analysis could enrich the Journal's body of research, thus making a strong case for increased focus on this area of study in future editions.
