Professional problems in psychology.

Abstract

This new text closes the gap between graduate study of psychology and the attainment of professional know-how. It is a systematic compilation of information that is important to professional psychologists, but neglected in their training. It covers facts and techniques otherwise learned only by long experience. Particular attention is given to problems of publishing with special reference to the Held of psychology. The text assembles information from other professional fields, includes new research never before reported, and contains valuable reference material which makes the book useful as a handbook.

Mapping the Structure and Dynamics of Psychological Knowledge: Forty Years of APA Journal Citations (1970–2009)

“…Several early attempts to describe the interrelations between the subfields of psychology have found basic versus applied to be a major dimension for organizing psychological knowledge. For example, in an early mapping study, Daniel and Louttit (1953) identified two clusters of journals: applied psychology journals and general psychology journals. Applied psychology journals included journals of clinical and consulting psychology, whereas general psychology journals included journals of comparative psychology, physiological psychology, and experimental psychology.…”

Citation influence for journal aggregates of scientific publications: Theory, with application to the literature of physics

“…These are: (1) the influence weight of the journal, a size independent measure of the weighted number of citations a journal receives from the other journals, normalized by the number of references it gives to other journals; (2) the influence per publication for the journal, which is the weighted number of citations each article, note or review in a journal receives from other journals; (3) the total inlluence of the journal which is the influence per publication times the total number of publications. 3. THE INFLUENCE WEIGHTING SCHEME (a) ~eue~o~~ent of the weightjng scheme 1.…”

“…They stated that journal to journal citation analysis could be used "to secure a quantitative measure of the extent to which each psychological field influences and is influenced by each of the other psychological fields". More recently, Daniel and Louttit, in 1953, developed a cross citing matrix in psychology, measured the similarity of the individual journal citation patterns and performed what may well be the first formal clustering of scientific journals [3].…”

The geography of distance education - bibliographic characteristics of a journal network

“…However, Gross and Gross (1927) were the first to use citation data to evaluate the importance of scientific journals in their study of references in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. Further, Daniel and Louttit (1953) were the first to perform a clustering of scientific journals; they developed a cross-citation matrix in psychology and measured the similarity of individual journal citation patterns. Carpenter and Narin (1973) carried out a cluster analysis (cf.…”
