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, 46.58% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation.

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 Opportunities and Pathways in Clinical Psychology and Psychiatry

One of the exciting aspects of clinical psychology and psychiatry, as showcased in the research topics of Psychotherapie Psychosomatik Medizinische Psychologie, is the wide range of potential career opportunities available to practitioners. These can range from working within mental health services, charitable organizations or academic institutions, to private practice. However, getting into these positions often requires specific education and training.

For instance, becoming a clinical psychologist typically involves acquiring a bachelor’s degree in psychology, followed by a master’s degree in clinical psychology. This is then followed by a Doctorate in Psychology (Psy.D.) or a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Psychology. Practical training, usually in the form of supervised clinical hours or an internship, is also a necessity.

On the other hand, a career in psychiatry requires a medical degree, followed by specialized training in psychiatry through a residency program. This is often followed by a fellowship for those wanting to specialize in a certain area of psychiatry.

Alternate career paths exist as well, such as becoming a forensic scientist, which involves working at the intersection of medicine and law enforcement. For more information, check our guide on how to become a forensic scientist in Illinois.

In whatever field of practice, professionals are expected to adhere to a strict code of ethics and standards of practice dictated by their respective certification boards and ethical committees. Continuing education and lifelong learning are also critical in maintaining one's competence and staying updated with the latest research and developments in the field.
