How to publish in this journal

[email protected]

The set of journals have been ranked according to their SJR and divided into four equal groups, four quartiles. Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values, Q2 (yellow) the second highest values, Q3 (orange) the third highest values and Q4 (red) the lowest values.

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Evolution of the number of published documents. All types of documents are considered, including citable and non citable documents.

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Evolution of the total number of citations and journal's self-citations received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. Journal Self-citation is defined as the number of citation from a journal citing article to articles published by the same journal.

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.

International Collaboration accounts for the articles that have been produced by researchers from several countries. The chart shows the ratio of a journal's documents signed by researchers from more than one country; that is including more than one country address.

Not every article in a journal is considered primary research and therefore "citable", this chart shows the ratio of a journal's articles including substantial research (research articles, conference papers and reviews) in three year windows vs. those documents other than research articles, reviews and conference papers.

Ratio of a journal's items, grouped in three years windows, that have been cited at least once vs. those not cited during the following year.

Evolution of the percentage of female authors.

Evolution of the number of documents cited by public policy documents according to Overton database.

Stanford Continuing Studies Winter Courses 2024

inter is a time of reflection. As one year ends and another begins, we often take inventory of our accomplishments, examine our losses, and commit new life lessons to long-term memory. This act of self-reflection invariably forces us to ask ourselves what we’ve learned, giving way to the more significant question: What have we yet to learn? It’s a challenging question that each of us answers differently.

One thing many students in Continuing Studies have in common is a shared belief in ongoing education. For some, that mantra has never resonated more deeply than now, as the disruptions these past few years have forced us to confront the question of how best to prepare ourselves for the future. Whether we’re seeking career advancement, choosing healthier lifestyle habits, or simply satiating a curiosity, the choices we make for education represent the investments we make in our future selves and create the path for moving forward.

This winter’s courses, like each quarter, also share a commonality: a belief that they should help our students realize their personal pursuits and interests. While every course is enriching, a few demonstrably capture the spirit of reinvention and growth. Raj Bhargava’s course “Your Next Life Chapter: A Design Thinking and Behavioral Science-Based Approach” is perfect for those who find themselves at an unfamiliar crossroads in life. Richard Kim’s course, “Making High-Quality Decisions: A Practical Guide to Decision Analysis,” a course with a mix of math, philosophy, and gut instinct, may be helpful to those looking to navigate personal and professional situations more effectively. Ronjon Nag’s “A Crash Course in AI” provides an approachable starting point for those interested in understanding artificial intelligence, its history, underlying technology, and how it may impact them.

Having been in data science for a decade now, I often use data as a lens to help interpret the world around me. (Note: I score highly on the “Type 5” of the Enneagram, a course we’re also offering this quarter by Suzanne Taylor.) Fives tend to be analytical and investigative. Those are valuable skills when trying to understand the changing patterns in course enrollments quarter to quarter. Some of those insights have been quite surprising. Interest in our data science, machine learning, and AI courses has seen substantial growth over the past several quarters, and we continue to offer a battery of courses ranging from beginning programming to the implementation of large language models. What’s unique about our version of these courses is that they’re taught by live instructors who emphasize helping people become better overall problem solvers instead of simply mastering single-task competencies. Who teaches you matters, and our business, technology, and data science instructors are valued for their expertise and deep knowledge in solving real-world challenges.

We’ve also seen a steady interest in our liberal arts, communication, and creative writing courses. Even in this modern day, with questions around how generative AI may impact the production of art and prose, classic authors such as Milton and Tolstoy—two retrospective courses we’re offering this quarter—are still as relevant as ever. I interpret the data to mean that fulfilling one’s obligations to oneself mustn’t be formulaic but authentic for the individual. That is precisely why our curriculum constantly evolves, much like our students.

Whether you’re looking for a new direction in your career or want to create room in your life to indulge in a personal interest, every course you take is an investment in yourself. Investing in oneself is a high-yielding venture, and the dividends are endless. We hope you continue making that investment and wish you the best in your academic pursuits.

Warm Regards,

Center for Excellence Scholarships

St. Petersburg College and Pinellas County Schools, in partnership with The New Teacher Project (TNTP) and Learning Science International (LSI), have developed a cohesive and comprehensive plan to improve the education of pre-service teachers through the College of Education Center of Excellence in Elementary Teacher Preparation. The program will restructure the current Elementary Education Bachelor of Science degree by:

1. Increasing the number of required content-specific courses by nine, specifically targeting math, science and social studies, assuring deeper content knowledge in core subjects;

2. Enhancing co-op teacher preparedness and outreach strategies to improve field experiences of pre-service teachers; and

3. Utilizing research-based educational approaches that incorporate supervisor coaching best practices and real-world teacher evaluation models with training led by industry experts to improve teacher effectiveness and student outcomes.

By using innovative training models, such as TNTP’s Fast Start and LSI’s Marzano evaluation system, pre-service educators, district cooperating teachers and the SPC’s supervising teachers will be uniformly equipped with the tools necessary to improve themselves as educators, and more importantly, the lives of those they teach.

Paying for college

The program offers scholarships for up to 100 Elementary Education B.S. degree seeking students, covering two courses per year. Please contact Pat Roper at [email protected] for details or to apply.

The initiative was funded by a $5 million Florida Centers of Excellence in Elementary Teacher Preparation grant by the Florida Department of Education.
