Individual and institutional productivity of racial and ethnic minority research in the Journal of Counseling Psychology

This study examined individual and institutional productivity of research p ertaining to racial and ethnic minorities in the Journal of Counseling Psyc hology (JCP). Full-length articles appearing in JCP from 1988 to 1997 were examined. Two distinct methods to calculate productivity scores were used t o obtain rankings of individual authors (G. S. Howard, D. A. Cole, & S. E. Maxwell, 1987) and institutions (D. J. Tinsley & H. E. Tinsley, 1979). Our findings identified the top most productive authors and institutions of eth nic and racial research published in JCP from 1988 to 1997. Implications of these findings and areas for future research are discussed.
