| Saturday, September 3, 2022 |
| 11:30 AM–12:20 PM |
| Auditorium |
| Area: CSS; Domain: Service Delivery |
| Chair: Chris E. Hughes (University of North Carolina Wilmington) |
| CE Instructor: Stephanie Peterson, Ph.D. |
| Panelists: TRACI CIHON (University of North Texas), MARK GALIZIO (University of North Carolina Wilmington), STEPHANIE PETERSON (Western Michigan University) |
| Abstract: This presentation will include a short introduction to each of the journals edited by the panelists (Behavior and Social Issues, Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, and Behavior Analysis in Practice). Following this introduction, the panelists will respond to questions from the chair and audience regarding journal-specific details (e.g., submission and acceptance statistics, downloads, top citing sources), issues facing the journals (e.g., self-citations, impact factors, open access, participant descriptions, diversity and inclusion), and current issues in the field’s verbal behavior and the variety of audiences for behavior analytic publications. Finally, panelists will describe strategies researchers and practitioners in behavior analysis can use to become more involved with behavior analytic journals related to their work. |
| Instruction Level: Intermediate |
| Target Audience: Behavior analytic researchers and practitioners |
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the presentation, participants will be able to: (1) Participants will state the missions of the following journals: Behavior and Social Issues, Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, and Behavior Analysis in Practice; (2) Participants will describe at least one issue facing behavior analytic journals and how this issue impacts the field; (3) Participants will describe at least one issue related to diversity and inclusion in behavior analytic publications; (4) Participants will describe at least one strategy they can use to become involved with a behavior analytic journal as an author or reviewer; (5) Participants will describe issues that face the field, particularly in behavior analytic journals, surrounding our own verbal behavior when describing our work. |
