The present study examined all articles published in School Psychology International from 1995 to 2007 to obtain data relevant to seven research questions: (1) which nations contributed articles to SPI? (2) how many SPI manuscripts involved multi-author (and multi-national) collaboration? (3) which institutions were the most prolific contributors to SPI? (4) what is the self-citation rate in SPI? (5) how often does SPI cite other major school psychology journals? (6) which first authors or editors were most frequently cited in SPI? (7) which books were the most frequently cited in SPI? Results indicate that the journal is broad in scope, interdisciplinary and truly international with respect to its contributors. Moreover, a substantial number of its contributions involve authors from two or more nations. In these regards, SPI is unique and, in our opinion, uniquely important for the international community of school psychologists.
