TRENDS IN INSTITUTIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE JOURNAL-OF-COUNSELING-PSYCHOLOGY

Tabulated the institutional affiliation of each author for the major articles, brief reports, unsolicited comments, and contributions classified as research frontier or research methodology that appeared in Volumes 1-24 of the Journal of Counseling Psychology (JCP). Separate tabulations were made for most institutions, but the contributions of the following types of institutions were combined within type: community colleges, community mental health centers, correctional institutions, medical hospitals, public schools, religious organizations, and VA facilities. The data are summarized for the formative years of the journal (Volumes 1-8), the period of transition to an American Psychological Association journal (Volumes 9-26), the most recent 8-yr period (Volumes 17-24), and the 1st 24 yrs of publication. The data are also tabulated for the 4 latest volumes (21-24) to evaluate recent trends in institutional contributions. The 15 leading institutional contributors are rank ordered, and the number of contributions are reported within each time period. In addition, the impact of reassignment of credit for dissertation-related research on institutional productivity is studied. The relationship between institutional contributions to JCP and the perceived prestige of the institution is also investigated.
