Veröffentlichungspraxis der Lehrstuhlinhaber in der Medizinischen Psychologie und in der Psychosomatik/Psychotherapie

Abstract

When qualifying for higher academic positions junior academics face increasing demands for submitting papers for publication. The criteria for assessing these publications are presently under discussion. Contributions to international English language journals are more highly regarded, and it has become indispensable to have papers published in journals listed in SCI and SSCI. The question remains whether these criteria are valid to judge academic qualifications. Whereas one criterion for validity may be the publication practice of the present academic representatives, it appears that to some extent the chairs themselves would not fulfill the requirements for academic qualification today. Results regarding this are presented and discussed.

Deep impact ? evaluation in the sciences

“…As an exception the AWMF recommends weighing book chapters and books according to a certain key in order to compensate for differential habits of citation. e) Gain of information: The number of publications in listed journals correlates highly with the total number of publications (Kotiaho et al 1999): Scientists who publish a lot, publish a lot in English and also publish in books (Decker & Brähler 2001b). The additional gain of the impact factor as compared to a simple comparison of the absolute number of publication is close to zero.…”

Der Psychotherapeut ist hier generell seltener genutzt worden, wie wir oben gezeigt haben.…”
