Peter gets Published

Peter just got his first major publication as first author in the recent issue of Clinical Psychology: Science and Practice. His article is entitled "Scholarly Productivity in clinical psychology PhD programs: A normative assessment of publication rates." This was his thesis project, and we have been anticipating this publication for some time.

His article basically takes a look at which universities and professors are putting out the most publications in clinical psychology, thus dispelling some clout given to a few highly-ranked universities, as reported by the likes of US News and World Report (which may be looking more at football scores than program statistics anyway).

Because he was covering a potentially contraversial topic, the publishers got other scholars to give commentaries. It was pretty interesting to hear what some of them had to say, in light of where they themselves ranked with Peter's findings! We couldn't be prouder of his achievement.

Awesome!!! Yah, I agree with Mollie...just the title almost loses me. But, it sounds really interesting. Can we read it somewhere? Do they have a website (with free subscription)?
