摘要

We updated and extended prior analyses on the research productivity of faculty in behavior-analytic training programs (e.g., Blair et al., 2018; Dixon et al., 2015a; Wilder et al., 2015) from 2015 to 2024. Unlike prior studies, we included all possible graduate training programs—Association for Behavior Analysis International-accredited doctoral and master’s programs and those with a Verified Course Sequence—and added institutional rankings and Board Certified Behavior Analyst exam pass rates per university. We also evaluated the cumulative contribution of top faculty to the total number of publications between 2015 and 2024 and compared results for actual publication output versus expected publication output based on the faculty size per program. In brief, our results indicate (a) there has been substantial turnover in the most productive individual faculty members and programs as a whole compared to previous analyses and (b) controlling for faculty size is critical in making comparisons across programs. We further discuss our findings and their implications, specifically related to ensuring the science-based practice and dissemination of behavior analysis.
