It is noted that 7 of the 10 top-cited articles in the Psychological Bulletin deal with methodological topics and one of these is the Bentler-Bonett (1980) article on the assessment of fit in covariance structure models.
Abstract
It is noted that 7 of the 10 top-cited articles in the Psychological Bulletin deal with methodological topics. One of these is the Bentler-Bonett (1980) article on the assessment of fit in covariance structure models. Some context is provided on the popularity of this article. In addition, a citation study of methodology articles appearing in the Bulletin since 1978 was carried out. It verified that publications in design, evaluation, measurement, and statistics continue to be important to psychological research. Some thoughts are offered on the role of the journal in making developments in these areas more accessible to psychologists.
