Evaluating Scholarship Productivity in COAMFTE-Accredited Doctoral Programs: An Update.
1Dixie State University.
Journal of Marital and Family Therapy
|February 7, 2018
Summary
This study updates research on scholarly productivity in COAMFTE-accredited PhD programs. It examines trends in family therapy and general peer-reviewed journal publications, h-factor scores, and publication history.
Area of Science:
- Family Therapy
- Higher Education Research
- Academic Productivity
Background:
- Scholarly productivity is crucial for university decisions regarding faculty tenure, resource allocation, and program support.
- A previous review by DuPree et al. in 2009 examined research productivity in COAMFTE-accredited PhD programs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide an updated examination of scholarly productivity trends in COAMFTE-accredited doctoral programs.
- To re-evaluate productivity using multiple quantitative methods.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of publications in family therapy journals.
- Assessment of publications in all peer-reviewed journals.
- Evaluation of h-factor index scores.
- Examination of historical and current journal publication trends.
Main Results:
- The study identifies current scholarly productivity benchmarks within COAMFTE-accredited doctoral programs.
- Trends in publication output and impact metrics are analyzed.
Conclusions:
- The findings offer insights into the current landscape of scholarly output in family therapy doctoral programs.
- This research serves as a benchmark for evaluating faculty and program performance in the field.

01:11Scalar Product (Dot Product)
27.9K
The scalar multiplication of two vectors is known as the scalar or dot product. As the name indicates, the scalar product of two vectors results in a number, that is, a scalar quantity. Scalar products are used to define work and energy relations. For example, the work that a force (a vector) performs on an object while causing its displacement (a vector) is defined as a scalar product of the force vector with the displacement vector.

01:17Vector Product (Cross Product)
28.2K
Vector multiplication of two vectors yields a vector product, with the magnitude equal to the product of the individual vectors multiplied by the sine of the angle between both the vectors and the direction perpendicular to both the individual vectors. As there are always two directions perpendicular to a given plane, one on each side, the direction of the vector product is governed by the right-hand thumb rule.

01:19Modified-Release Drug Delivery Systems: Rate-Programmed II
4
Rate-programmed drug delivery systems release drugs in a controlled manner to maintain therapeutic levels. Three main designs include reservoir, matrix, and hybrid systems.Reservoir systems consist of a drug core enclosed within a membrane that controls drug release. In non-swelling reservoir systems, polymers like ethyl cellulose or polymethacrylates are used. These do not hydrate in aqueous media and control release through membrane thickness, porosity, or insolubility. This type includes...

01:22Modified-Release Drug Delivery Systems: Rate-Programmed I
17
Rate-programmed drug delivery systems (DDS) are designed to release drugs at specific, controlled rates to maintain consistent therapeutic levels. These systems are categorized based on their release mechanisms, including dissolution-controlled DDS, diffusion-controlled DDS, and combined dissolution-diffusion-controlled DDS.In dissolution-controlled DDS, the release rate depends on the slow dissolution of the drug itself or the surrounding matrix. Drugs with inherently slow dissolution rates,...

01:06Primary Production
25.6K
The total amount of energy acquired by primary producers in an ecosystem is called gross primary production (GPP). However, of this energy, producers use some for metabolic processes, and some is lost as heat, decreasing the amount of energy available to the next trophic level. The remaining usable amount of energy is called the net primary productivity (NPP). In terrestrial ecosystems, NPP is driven by climate, while light penetration and nutrient availability drive NPP in aquatic ecosystems.

01:01Production Efficiency
18.7K
Net production efficiency (NPE) is the efficiency at which organisms assimilate energy into biomass for the next trophic level. Due to low metabolic rates and less energy spent on thermoregulatory processes, the NPE of ectotherms (cold-blooded animals) is 10 times higher than endotherms (warm-blooded animals).
