TPC Journal-Vol 11-Issue-1

64 The Professional Counselor | Volume 11, Issue 1 These universities align well with productive contributing authors in the list above or clusters of contributing authors, representing counseling faculty and counselor education programs with high degrees of dedication to enhancing the counseling literature in TPC . Article Characteristics Table 1 shows that topical content appearing in TPC publications from 2011–2019 was consistent and diverse: F (1, 530) = 0.666, p = .415, η 2 = .001. The topics of counselor education and training, school counseling, and multicultural issues each occurred in more than 10% of TPC articles, each benefitting as foci in special issues/sections over the years. When inspecting article typology from the perspective of the tables of contents, it is noted that TPC only designates two major categories of articles: research and expository, the latter of which we combined with an “other” category, as specialized, non- research articles do appear in TPC from time to time. This TPC table of contents bi-factor typology was consistent from 2011–2019: F (1, 263) = 2.033, p = .155, η 2 = .008. Given this result, it is then not surprising that TPC also displayed a consistent proportion of published research articles (58.1% from 2011–2019): F (1, 263) = 2.357, p = .126, η 2 = .009. The remainder of this Results section reviews various characteristics of the 154 research articles published in TPC between 2011 and 2019.
