In an analysis of publication rates in applied behavior analysis, Dixon, Reed, Smith, Belisle, and Jackson (2015a) argued the need to measure the research productivity of graduate programs as a means of informing prospective graduate students. The current study replicated and extended Dixon, et al. (2015a) by analyzing the number of publications and citations. The results suggest that there is a discrepancy between rankings by publication and by citation, and further analysis is required. We also recommend further areas of inquiry in the analysis of research productivity.
