Publication chance based on affiliation

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, 19.35% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 60.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 12.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 28.00% of all publications and 0.00% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

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.

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 Educational Requirements in the Field of Psychology

For individuals inspired by the topics and research conducted at Psychologische Rundschau, pursuing a rewarding career in the field of psychology might be a plausible next step. Analyzing human behavior, thoughts, and emotions, psychologists profoundly impact individuals and society at large.

The roles within this field are diverse, with a plethora of opportunities available in research, counseling, corporate consultation, and educational spheres. For instance, a Behavioral Analyst is a role that relates to the objective study of behavior, particularly concerning cognitive psychology and behavioral assessment.

The path to becoming a psychologist typically involves substantial academic training which includes acquiring a bachelor's, followed by a master's degree, and in most cases, a Ph.D. or Psy.D. degree in psychology. Furthermore, licensing and certification requirements may vary based on the occupational specialization and state of practice.

For instance, to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) in Nevada, individuals must meet specific educational requirements, like earning a master’s degree in psychology, education or behavior analysis and receiving a certain amount of supervised independent fieldwork. They must also successfully pass an examination by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board. If you want to learn more about this career path, you can follow this guide on how to become a behavior analyst in Nevada.

Note that prospective psychologists should be prepared for a thorough and challenging learning journey but, upon completion, they'll be equipped with the essential skills and, most importantly, an understanding of the human mind, making this career choice very rewarding.
