| Summary: | The overarching research project referred to in this research case study is a large, multi-study project that is primarily using the Scopus database, an abstract and citation database that contains more than 75 million records with approximately 24,600 titles. Using statistical tools within the Scopus database along with exporting data into other statistical programs, the project is examining publishing practices and trends of school psychology faculty in the United States. The authors used Scopus to uncover faculty publication history and influence using a number of journal utilization metrics calculated in the database, such as impact factor, citation history, and h-index, and to examine trends calculated in Scopus, such as publication frequency, time frame, subject area, keyword, citations, and references, and other relevant publication metrics, such as affiliation, funding sponsor, access type, geography, and faculty rank. The particular piece of the project that is highlighted in this case study is based on examination of the work of school psychology faculty from all National Association of School Psychologists (NASP)-approved programs in the United States with respect to online access (OA) journals. Results of some portions of the study were presented at the 2020 NASP Annual Convention. |
