Abstract
The psychological research productivity of Ph.D.-granting institutions over a 10-yr. period was investigated. For the decade 1952-1961, the number of articles published in nine APA journals by individuals at 93 universities was determined. As with individuals, a small proportion of departments contribute a relatively large proportion of the publication output. This index of research productivity correlated significantly with departmental size, average academic salary of the institution, and the productivity of clinical psychologists who were alumni of the institution. When these publication totals were grouped by states, the number of psychological articles published in each state was found to correlate significantly with percentage of population classified as urban, average salaries of classroom teachers in public schools, expenditure for schools per pupil, and per-capita personal income.
