TL;DR: Results of recent CC sntdies are consistent with earlier research which indicate that CC is effective in producirtg both sltortiemt and long-temt improventents irt relatiortship satisfactiort as well asSltortlerm changes in commtuticatiott behaviors.
Abstract: Research on the Couple Commttnication Program (CC) is summaized. Tltis rev'iew is an update of earlier reviews by the autltor. Results of recent CC sntdies are consistent with earlier research which indicate that CC is effective in producirtg both sltortiemt and long-temt improventents irt relatiortship satisfactiort as well as sltortlerm changes in commtuticatiott behaviors. Difficttlties in conductirtg o,ttcome research and uggestions for ftftre researclt are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the quality and impact of the articles were not judged and only articles with a family focus were considered, and articles in child development or gerontology, for e*a*ple, *ere not counted.
Abstract: Over the past several years, Family Science Review has published several attempts to rate the quality of family science departments and recognize the leading scholars in the field. The Meredith, Abott, and Lamanna (1987) study-examined t*"nt! journals considered central to the family field over a six year period and determined which family science departments had published the most juriei articles with a family focus in-that time period. Another studyby Meredith andAbbotr (19gg) profiled the leading family studies scholars based on the numbers of refereed a.ii"lei published in 24 family oriented journals from 1980-1987. One critique of these two studies was that the quality and impact of the articles were not judged and that only articles with a family focus were considered. Articles in child development or gerontology, for e*a*ple, *ere not counted. Another study by Burr, Schvaneveldt, Roleder, ind Marshal (tws; evaluated reputational data concerning different departments. The major difficulty witf th-eir research design was that retrospective reputaiiona-l ratings may not be indicative of recent scholarly activify of departments.

TL;DR: Conected tables are presented in this report along with an examination of the limitatiotts in usittg the archivql technique for the study of histoical data in the documentation of deportmental and faailty eminence in family science.
Abstract: Constructive citicism of a published manuscipt in Family science Review, vol 2, pp. 249-266, has sugested possible inaccuracy in the reported data. An examination of these data revealed counting enon that have been corrected through a reconstruction of the data. Conected tables are presented in this report along with an examination of the limitatiotts in usittg the archivql technique for the study of histoical data in the documentation of deportmental and faailty eminence in family science.

TL;DR: The use of Social Science Citation lrder (SSCI) provides a researcher with a much broader (but likewise not fully representative) journal source that offers the potential for examining productiviry (frequency) and impact (citation history).
Abstract: Professor Meredith and his associates have made important contributions to the study of the history of family science. Meredith's published reports, along with those by Burr and associates, provide important information in an accumulating sociology of knowledge regarding family science. In Meredith's work on the study of family science, measurement of productivity has been focused on specific journal publications. This work, by nature, is exclusionary and based on a personal preference for a given series of publication outlets. The tech"ique recofizss publications without an estirr.ate of irnpact. In Burr and associate's work, reputational data are obtained using an available, non-random sample. This technique is limited by subjective measurement and the sampling strategy employed. In contrast, the use of Social Science Citation lrder (SSCI) provides a researcher with a much broader (but likewise not fully representative) journal source that offers the potential for examining productiviry (frequency) and impact (citation history). I will not labor further on such advantages, given our methodology is detailed in both the original and revised manuscripts that are published in Fanily Science Review (FSR). However, one's choice of methodology should be based on interests, objectives, and methodological focus.
