“…Specialty interest groups appear to be the norm in most of these professions (Vallone, Miller, Larsdotter, & Barham-Floreani, 2010). Despite a zeitgeist that is placing an increased emphasis on specialization and specialty board certification, in a number of specialties, there has been a call for agreeing upon more clearly articulated definitions of specialty programs and for determining the optimal, evidence-based criteria for specialty board certification (Goldstein et al, 2011;Stuber, Grod, Smith, & Powers, 2005).…”

This article begins by contextualizing specialization and board certification of psychologists, with attention paid to relevant definitions and expectations of other health care professionals. A brief history of specialization and board certification in professional psychology is offered. The benefits of board certification through the American Board of Professional Psychology are highlighted. Consideration is then given to the primary reasons for psychologists working in academic health sciences centers to specialize in the current health care climate and to obtain board certification as a mark of such specialization.

“…7 For example, one area of interest in the Research Agenda focuses on measurement development and validation. Future research should examine relationships between profession-driven initiatives, such as the Research Agenda, and trends in the types of clinical conditions studied and papers published in core physical therapy journals.…”

Study Design Descriptive bibliometric analysis. Background Content and bibliometric studies are useful for describing the publication patterns of a given profession, such as physical therapy, within the medical and allied health fields. However, few studies have conducted these analyses on specialty physical therapy journals. Objectives To conduct a content and bibliometric assessment of publications within the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy (JOSPT) and report publication and citation trends over multiple years. Methods All available JOSPT manuscripts published from 1980 through 2009 were reviewed. Only research reports, topical reviews, and case reports were included in the current analysis. Articles were coded by 2 independent reviewers based on type, participant characteristics, research design, purpose, clinical condition, and intervention. We obtained additional citation information (eg, authors and institutions) from a subset of articles published from 1992 through 2009 using bibliometric software. Results Of the 2233 available JOSPT publications, 1732 (77.6%) met criteria for inclusion. Of these, 1172 (67.7%) were research reports, 351 (20.3%) topical reviews, and 209 (12.1%) case reports. Over the last 30 years there has been a significant increase in the number of articles published and the percentage of research reports, systematic reviews, articles focused on prognosis, and articles including symptomatic participants. Percentage decreases were observed for topical or nonsystematic reviews and articles focused on anatomy/physiology. Top institutions, authors, and cited papers from 1992 through 2009 were identified in the bibliometric analyses. Conclusion JOSPT has shown publication trends for increased percentage of experimental and clinically relevant research. However, there may be a need for increased publication of randomized controlled trials and studies focused on diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment, if goals of evidence-based practice are to be met.

“…10 In addition, the profession has sought to develop and refine a profession-wide research agenda. 11 Given that PT faculty hold academic doctorates, are required to have protected research time, and are guided by a formal research agenda, it is not surprising that they have had academic success.…”
