"The Professional Counselor": Author and Article Characteristics from 2011 to 2019
Williams, Dorrie; Melanson, Marcella; Erford, Bradley T.
Professional Counselor, v11 n1 p61-72 2021
This meta-study evaluates publication patterns and trends occurring in the first 9 years of "The Professional Counselor (TPC)." Both author (e.g., gender, domicile, employment setting, top individual and university contributors) and article characteristics (e.g., topic, research design, participant type, sample size, statistics) are identified, with a particular focus on research articles. Almost 64% of lead authors and all authors were women, 92.1% of lead authors were affiliated with universities, and 3.4% of lead authors were internationally domiciled. From 2011-2019, the University of Central Florida featured the greatest number of lead authors, and the top author overall was Dr. Kathleen Brown-Rice. About 58% of published works were research articles, and of those, 69% used quantitative design methodology. Nearly all coded research variables were stable over time, except for participant types, as the proportion of adult participant samples increased while undergraduate participant samples decreased over time.
