Journal of School Health was organized to reinforce research efforts on Medical education, Health education, Nursing, Family medicine and Physical education. The journal investigates Medical education research which frequently intersects with Pedagogy. The Health education works featured in it incorporate elements from Curriculum, Health policy, Primary education and Health promotion.
Research on Health policy presented in Journal of School Health focuses, in particular, on International health and HRHIS. Research on Health promotion presented in it concerns the broader topic of Public health. It focuses on Nursing research which is adjacent to topics in School health.
The most cited papers are organized to address concerns in the fields of Health education, Health promotion, Clinical psychology, Suicide prevention and Injury prevention. The journal papers focus on Health promotion but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Health policy, Program evaluation and Medical education. In addition to Suicide prevention research, the published articles aim to explore topics under Developmental psychology, Social psychology, Occupational safety and health and Human factors and ergonomics.
Journal of School Health mostly deals with topics like Medical education, Mental health, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Adolescent health and Demography. The studies on Medical education discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Perception, Curriculum, Intervention (counseling), Feeling and Focus group. The journal explores research in Curriculum alongside concepts in Health education and other areas of study in Childhood obesity and Obesity.
The journal explores issues in Mental health which can be linked to other research areas like Well-being, Ethnic group, Survey data collection and Public health. The subject of Human sexuality, which is connected to the field of Developmental psychology, serves as the foundation of the Ethnic group research featured in Journal of School Health. Clinical psychology research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Youth Risk Behavior Survey, Suicide prevention and Interpersonal relationship.
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 School Health (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 School Health (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, 0.86% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 17.39% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.70% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.17% of all publications and 61.74% 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.
A significant body of research that Journal of School Health often explores pertains to counseling, particularly in the context of school health education. This focus includes tow topics like mental health counseling, career counseling, substance use interventions, and crisis management. These facets jointly serve to fortify the psychological well-being of students, thereby fostering a healthy learning environment. Increasingly, Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs) – practitioners with master's degrees in counseling who have gained professional licensure – are playing key roles in these school-based efforts. Such professionals often collaborate with teachers, parents, and other school staff to create supportive educational surroundings. They implement various intervention strategies, both preventative and responsive, to address common issues among students. For instance, they may conduct group therapy for managing stress, implement programs for substance abuse prevention, or provide one-on-one counseling for students dealing with mental health problems. The scope of research within the Journal often includes an analysis of the effectiveness of these counseling practices and the influence of LPCs in school health education. For example, studies may assess the impact of LPC-led interventions on absenteeism rates, academic performance, or overall student well-being. If you're interested in becoming a significant contributor to this critical field of research and intervention, you might consider pursuing an LPC license in New York or other credentials necessary for practicing as a school counselor. Not only do these credentials offer you a direct way to contribute to the individual health of students, but they also provide the opportunity to inform and shape school health policies through evidence-based research and practice.

(2021)For those interested in medicine but seeking alternative routes, several online degree programs offer valuable career pathways. Health Information Management is a growing field that blends healthcare with data management. Prospective students can explore affordable options through a health information management degree online, preparing them for roles in managing patient data and healthcare compliance.
Nutrition also plays a vital role in medical care, and an online master's degree in nutrition offers advanced knowledge for careers focused on dietary health, wellness, and clinical nutrition planning.
If hands-on diagnostic work is appealing, training at an ultrasound tech school can lead to specialized certifications and careers in medical imaging. Similarly, an online radiology programs provide foundational education for those looking to assist radiologists and technicians in imaging diagnostics.
These online programs offer flexible pathways to enter the healthcare industry without the traditional constraints of medical school. They complement a background in medicine and open doors to diverse, in-demand roles.
