Abstract

To assess the magnitude and scope of journal publications by faculty at liberal arts colleges, we used PsycLIT to compile a list of publications from 1984 to 1993 for which the first author's affiliation was among the 161 schools classified as liberal arts colleges by the Carnegie Foundation. We ranked schools by the total number of pages and articles, with adjustments for quality of journal and department size, to show the extent of journal publications from liberal arts colleges. Also, we broadly assessed what kind of research at liberal arts colleges resulted in journal publications by determining the journals that published the articles and the subject classification of the articles. Finally, we showed that mentoring students correlates with research output in the form of published journal articles.
