International publication trends of JABA authorship.
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis,
33, 339-342.
The present study addressed international publication trends in
JABA authorship between 1970 and 1999. First, we analyzed
authorship patterns to identify trends in the appearance of new
first authors, unfamiliar authors, and frequent contributors.
Second, articles were assigned to either a North American or an
international category. The data show a decline in the number of
articles by new authors and an increase in the publications of
frequent contributors from North America. Trends are shown in
comparison to those from the American Journal on Mental
Retardation.
