Title:	Analysis of author affiliation across four school psychology journals from 2000 to 2008: Where is the practitioner research?
Authors:	Carroll, Erin E., Skinner, Christopher H., McCleary, Daniel F., von Mizener, Briana Hautau, Bliss, Stacy L.
Source:	Psychology in the Schools. Aug2009, Vol. 46 Issue 7, p627-635. 9p. 3 Charts.
Subjects:	Academic discourse, Educational psychology periodicals, Published articles, School Psychology Review (Periodical), Journal of School Psychology (Periodical), Psychology in the Schools (Periodical)
Abstract:	Articles published between 2000 and 2008 in four major school psychology journals—School Psychology Review, Journal of School Psychology, Psychology in the Schools, and School Psychology Quarterly—were classified based on type (empirical or narrative) and on the primary and secondary authors' affiliations. Results showed that more than 90% of the primary and secondary authors were university affiliated with little difference across article type. Although more than 85% of school psychologists are practitioners, these results suggest that their contributions to these school psychology journals are limited because they account for less than 10% of the authors of articles. Discussion focuses on practitioners' involvement in the research base that is intended to inform their professional behaviors. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
