Background: Persons with intellectual disability remain largely excluded from the labour market in the Nordic countries. A review of the existing knowledge base may inform policymakers who try to address this challenge. Method: The study uses a scoping review of 23 articles to summarize three decades of research on employment for persons with…

Understanding the role of prior knowledge in human learning is essential for predicting, improving, and explaining competence acquisition. However, the size and breadth of this field make it difficult for researchers to glean a comprehensive overview. Hence, we conducted a bibliometric analysis of 13,507 relevant studies published between 1980 and…

The student affairs profession has been aware of a high attrition rate for young professionals for over 40 years. Research into the phenomenon previously sought to identify the rate of attrition and factors leading to attrition. There is a gap in the literature regarding how these young professionals come to make the decision to change careers.…

Individuals with aphasia (IWA) often exhibit challenges in single word reading as well as in reading comprehension. Recently, eye-tracking technology has become instrumental in delving deeper into reading behaviors. Specifically, it has illuminated the differences in word reading and comprehension abilities among aphasic English speakers. However,…

The purpose of this scoping literature review was to examine research on police involvement in school mental health crisis response. The search was conducted in PsychInfo, PubMed, and ERIC and initially identified 315 articles. After applying inclusion/exclusion criteria, 47 articles remained. Detailed review and data extraction by three…

This paper discusses the association between bilingualism and creativity considering the contribution of executive functions in this relationship. The studies which investigated the relationship between bilingualism, creativity and executive functions are reported. In the psychology literature, divergent thinking and creativity are synonymous…

Librarians continually seek innovative ways to integrate library expertise and resources into campus research endeavors. Although qualitative research has grown across disciplines, researchers using these methods often receive little campus-based support. The authors investigate this shortfall in support of qualitative researchers through…

Single case research designs (SCRDs) are integral to identifying evidence-based practices (EBPs) for young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD); however, the field lacks guidance on measuring response maintenance within SCRDs. We identified 103 studies in which researchers used SCRD to investigate the maintenance of behavioral intervention…

Empathy is generally described as a multidimensional construct, consisting of cognitive and affective components. Researchers demonstrate that a better ability to understand and express empathy toward others is associated with positive social outcomes such as strong communication skills and meaningful social relationships. For individuals with…

Autistic girls, women and gender diverse people have specific needs that are underrepresented in research. Research priorities are often established by funding bodies, researchers, parents, carers and health professionals and may not meet the needs of the diverse Autistic community. This co-produced project aimed to identify what research would…

Conceptualized as open educational resources (OER) in 2002, the field has a relatively short history. During this period, there have been some significant developments, including the availability of more resources and research publications (including literature reviews) in peer-reviewed journals and conferences. This review of reviews adopted a…

Purpose: This paper aims to provide a synthesis of the contributions to this special issue focusing on organizational unlearning. Design/methodology/approach: The papers were examined in depth to identify the key contributions and areas of ongoing concern for those researching unlearning. Findings: Each paper was noted as making a unique…

Sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) is separable from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other psychopathologies, and growing evidence demonstrates SCT to be associated with impairment in both children and adults. However, it remains unclear how SCT should optimally be conceptualized. In this article, we argue that multiple models of…

Black female-focused scholarship continues to grow within the field of urban education. However, what remains unknown are the thematic and empirical trends that characterize this area of specialization. To address this challenge, a quantitative content analysis of 30 high-impact journals was conducted. From the pool of several thousand studies, 39…
