This paper analyses all psychology journals included in the different categories of the JCR (SCI and SSCI) and SJR databases during the period 2014-2016 in order to identify the journals that are better positioned in the discipline, and the specialities and countries with the highest number of publications indexed in such databases. Method: The distribution of psychology journals by country, quartile, and subject category was studied in order to determine the total number and position of journals in each country, and to identify the countries with more journals of ‘excellence’ in psychology in the international scene. Results: The United States and the United Kingdom had the highest number of journals included in the databases, as well as the Netherlands, Germany, France and Spain. Only 11 countries have psychology journals in quartile 1 in JCR, and 14 in SJR databases. Conclusions: As a result of the application of new evaluation criteria in psychology research in Spain, the paper addresses the difficulties and consequences that some of these measures may have for the survival of psychology journals that do not have a position in quartile 1 or 2 in the databases used for the evaluation of professionals’ research in this discipline

Lecturers are professionals as well as scientists who are obliged to carry out the Tri Dharma of the college (Teaching, Research and Community Service). The performance of lecturers in the three dharma has an impact on the quality of higher education and also the development of the academic career of lecturers. However, the fact that was observed in FE UST, some lecturers spent more of their service in the teaching field only, while the implementation of research (especially the published ones) was minimal and only to meet the minimum standards of its obligations. Based on the literature review the factors that influence the performance of lecturers include Motivation, Competence and Commitment. The test results concluded that only the lecturers' motivation was influential, while competence and commitment had no effect.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe the author’s serendipitous career and provide some lessons that might be of value to those pursuing the academic mission: teaching, research and service. Design/methodology/approach The method involves primary sources; mainly the author’s CV to jog recall of events and dates, some of his articles and the teachings and writings of many others that influenced or inspired various aspects of the author’s career. Findings The author’s experiences affirm that to achieve any degree of success in the professoriate, in addition to having some talent it is also helpful to be lucky. There is a lot to navigate at a university. Opportunities exist at every turn, some noticed some missed. When recognized, be prepared. Being a professor is not what you do, it is who you are. Preparation for an academic career involves becoming a self-improvement project (essentially, a life-long student learning lessons). It requires developing expertise (preferably excellence) in some field of study, as well as resourcefulness, resilience and perseverance. Originality/value Each individual’s story is unique. The author’s path seems to have included more twists and turns than most. Consequently, he tried to highlight the experiences with lessons learned in most sections, some obvious some less so, which he expects (at least hopes) will prove valuable to future educators.

Risk Methodology

In 2011 the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment (I&M) introduced new legislation for pipelines transporting dangerous substances. This legislation applies to pipelines transporting natural gas and to pipelines transporting oil products and deals amongst other things with the consequences of (new) pipelines on spatial planning. Risk methodologies have been revised in order to reflect new understandings in risk scenarios, failure frequencies and consequences. In the Netherlands operators and responsible authorities are now required to use these methodologies in risk calculations. A risk methodology for pipelines transporting chemicals (substances other than natural gas or oil products) has currently been developed. These pipelines have a total length of about 3,000 kilometer and 18 different chemicals such as ethylene, hydrogen, chlorine and carbon dioxide are involved. This paper describes the risk methodology for underground pipelines transporting chemicals, including modeling aspects and failure frequencies. The application of measures to reduce the risk and some case analysis results are presented as well.

The Impact

BackgroundMentoring is frequently suggested as an intervention to address gender inequalities in the workplace.ObjectivesTo systematically review evidence published since a definitive review in 2006 on the effectiveness of mentoring interventions aimed at achieving gender equality in academic medicine.DesignSystematic Review, using the Template for Intervention Description and Replication as a template for data extraction and synthesis.SampleStudies were included if they described a specific mentoring intervention in a medical school or analogous academic healthcare organisation and included results from an evaluation of the intervention.Eligibility criteriaMentoring was defined as (1) a formally organised intervention entailing a supportive relationship between a mentor, defined as a more senior/experienced person and a mentee defined as a more junior/inexperienced person; (2) mentoring intervention involved academic career support (3) the mentoring relationship was outside line management or supervision of performance and was defined by contact over an extended period of time.OutcomesThe impact of mentoring was usually reported at the level of individual participants, for example, satisfaction and well-being or self-reported career progression. We sought evidence of impact on gender equality via reports of organisation-level effectiveness, of promotion or retention, pay and academic performance of female staff.ResultsWe identified 32 publications: 8 review articles, 20 primary observational studies and 4 randomised controlled trials. A further 19 discussed mentoring in relation to gender but did not meet our eligibility criteria. The terminology used, and the structures and processes reported as constituting mentoring, varied greatly. We identified that mentoring is popular with many who receive it; however, we found no robust evidence of effectiveness in reducing gender inequalities. Primary research used weak evaluation designs.ConclusionsMentoring is a complex intervention. Future evaluations should adopt standardised approaches used in applied health research to the design and evaluation of effectiveness and cost-effectiveness.

Despite the recognized value of community engagement in academic pharmacy, the implementation of sustainable and fruitful community partnerships can be challenging. This manuscript will highlight a junior faculty member’s journey with community engagement, sharing the ways that community engagement can guide an academic career and the benefits of community engagement in teaching, research and service. Also highlighted is the role – and argued responsibility - of the academic institution in community engagement, as well as an identification of the barriers that might be interfering with pharmacy faculty community engagement. Considerations for the development of faculty members striving to more fully incorporate engagement into their teaching, research, and service are provided. Conflict of Interest I declare no conflicts of interest or financial interests that the authors or members of their immediate families have in any product or service discussed in the manuscript, including grants (pending or received), employment, gifts, stock holdings or options, honoraria, consultancies, expert testimony, patents and royalties.   Type: Commentary

ABSTRACT Participating in this special issue has given me the opportunity to reflect on my career in terms of the choices I made, the lessons I learned, and the missed opportunities. I start with a brief history of my academic career to provide context for some of the lessons I have learned. After the chronological history, I discuss lessons learned, missed opportunities, and offer my thoughts on teaching, research, publishing, and service to the academic profession. I conclude with some takeaways that may be useful to doctoral students and junior faculty.
