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.

The Role of School Psychologists in Workplace Behavioral Health

An integral part of workplace behavioral health is understanding how educational settings impact the mental health of students, teachers, and school staff. In this context, the role of school psychologists becomes crucial. A school psychologist focuses on improving students' educational experience by addressing their psychological, social, and emotional needs. Working with teachers and parents, these professionals develop strategies and interventions that help students cope with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress. In the state of Nevada, for instance, becoming a school psychologist requires specialized education, training, and licensure. The process includes obtaining a graduate degree in school psychology, completing an internship, and passing a certification exam. Further, these professionals are expected to abide by certain ethical standards and legal requirements within their practice. For more detailed information on becoming a school psychologist in Nevada, you can refer to our comprehensive guide on school psychologist requirements Nevada. Including school psychologists in discussions about workplace behavioral health brings a unique perspective, given their understanding of the complex social and environmental factors that contribute to mental health challenges in schools. Their expertise helps in formulating effective behavioral health strategies that can be applied in various workplace settings. Thus, research on the role and impact of school psychologists can greatly enrich the Journal of Workplace Behavioral Health's contributions to the field.
