Report summary

Pennsylvania State University Department of Psychology in 2021-2023 reads as a 43-PI network with 18 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Psychology as the leading field (32% of slots across 31 PIs; 31 labels), Cognitive Neuroscience as the leading subfield (14% of slots across 16 PIs; 16 labels), and Child and Adolescent Psychosocial and Emotional Development as the leading topic (5% of slots across 6 PIs; 6 labels). That is of concern for a 43-PI roster; the strongest pairings may be carrying much of the visible collaboration. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Michelle G. Newman (13.4 weighted works; Anxiety, Depression, Psychometrics, Treatment, Cognitive Processes, Mental Health Research Topics); Roger E. Beaty (12.7 weighted works; Creativity in Education and Neuroscience, Cognitive Science and Mapping). The strongest pairings are Jason W. Griffin and K. Suzanne Scherf (3 shared works, weight 2.5). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 8 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 8.4, around Cognitive Neuroscience, Social Psychology, Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health, led by Koraly Pérez‐Edgar, Rina D. Eiden, Jason W. Griffin.
