Institutional and Individual Publication Productivity in Selected Adult Education Journals, 1993-2002
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Examining institutional and individual publication productivity in scholarly journals is a commonly used index of institutional quality, influence, and prestige within a discipline. Expanding and extending the work of Rachal and Sargent (1995b), the present study surveyed the Commission of Professors of Adult Education for research journal preferences and examined the resulting five research journals from 1993-2002 for 10-year institutional productivity, institutional productivity by 5-year breakout, institutional productivity in each journal, individual author productivity, and single versus multiple authorship patterns by gender and by journal. Results yielded 65 per cent single authorship among 806 articles written by 1214 cumulative authors in two British, two American, and one Canadian journal. Institutions from four different countries emerged in the top 10 as the most productive for the 10-year period. Résumé L'examen de la productivité institutionnelle et individuelle en publication universitaire constitue l'une des façons les plus communément utilisées pour mesurer le degré d'expertise, d'influence et de prestige d'une institution dans une discipline donnée. En poursuivant et élargissant le travail amorcé par Rachal et Sargent (1995b), la présente étude a effectué un sondage auprès des membres de la CPAE (Commission of Professors of Adult Education) en vue de retenir cinq revues universitaires, qui ont été examinées de 1993 à 2002, afin de mesurer la productivité institutionnelle sur une période de dix ans et par tranche de cinq ans, la productivité individuelle et le nombre d'articles collectifs par rapport au nombre d'articles à auteur unique par genre et par revue universitaire. La recherche a démontré que 65 pourcent des 806 articles avaient été écrits par un seul auteur, qu'un total de 1214 auteurs ont écrits dans deux revues universitaires britanniques, deux revues américaines et une revue canadienne. Les dix institutions les plus productives sur une période de dix ans proviennent de quatre differents pays.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
