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.

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.

Becoming a Licensed Counselor in Mississippi

If you aim to contribute to mental health care in the state of Mississippi, it's essential to become a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). LPCs play a vital role in public health and wellness - a trending topic in 'Revista Panamericana De Salud Publica' or the Pan American Journal of Public Health. The certification process in Mississippi involves specific educational qualifications, practical experience, and passing the National Counselor Examination (NCE).

The initial step involves obtaining a bachelor's degree, preferably in psychology, social work, or a related field, followed by a Master's degree in Counseling or a closely related discipline, which encompasses at least 60 semester hours of coursework. Post-degree, two years of supervised work experience under a Board-approved supervisor is necessary.

Having fulfilled the educational and practical experience requirements, aspiring counselors can apply to the Mississippi Board of Examiners for Counselors and Marriage & Family Therapists for LPC licensure. Upon the Board's approval, candidates must pass the NCE conducted by the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) to obtain their license.

If you'd like more detailed information on becoming an LPC in Mississippi, you can refer to this comprehensive guide.

Counseling work doesn't stop at having a license – it requires continuous education and research. Journals such as 'Revista Panamericana De Salud Publica' are valuable resources to stay updated with the latest research and trends in public health.
