An Initial Survey of Fractional Graph and Table Area in Behavioral Journals
Kubina, Richard M., Jr.; Kostewicz, Douglas E.; Datchuck, Shawn M.
Behavior Analyst, v31 n1 p61-66 Spr 2008
This study examined the fractional graph area (FGA), the proportion of page space used to display statistical graphics, in 11 behavioral journals and places behavior analysis on a continuum with other natural, mathematical, and social science disciplines. The composite FGA of all 11 journals puts behavior analysis within the range of the social sciences, whereas the composite FGA of the most established and preeminent behavioral journals positions behavior analysis within the range of the natural sciences. In addition, fractional table area (FTA), the proportion of page space used to display tables, generally is higher in behavioral journals with lower degrees of FGA, a result that replicates previous research. (Contains 2 figures.)
