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.

Related Fields of Study

In addition to the aforementioned fields of study, the Journal of Divorce & Remarriage also holds significant relevance for those pursuing related fields such as forensic science - particularly forensic investigators working with family dispute scenarios. Forensic investigators play an essential role in examining evidence from disagreements that can escalate to divorce or custody cases, and their contribution to successful case resolution is crucial. The journal's insights on social, developmental, and clinical psychology enhance a forensic investigator's understanding of emotional, mental, and psychological implications during a divorce. The integration of this knowledge can substantiate their analysis and provide more context in their investigation. Subsequently, researchers working on or enthusiastic about related areas might find this journal beneficial. For instance, scholars interested in studying how to become a forensic investigator in Oregon can glean beneficial insights from the journal. You can find more information on the crucial role forensic science plays in understanding dynamics among couples and families contemplating divorce [here](/careers/how-to-become-a-forensic-scientist-in-oregon). By fostering a multidisciplinary approach to understanding divorce and remarriage scenarios, this journal, therefore, serves as a robust resource for not only psychologists but also, indirectly, professionals in the forensic field. With the divorce rate consistently high, contributions from both psychology and forensic perspectives can result in more comprehensive solutions that address the core issues at hand.
