Report summary

The 2024-2026 picture for University of Kentucky Department of Psychology is a 12-PI network with 3 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Psychology as the leading field (35% of slots across 9 PIs; 9 labels), Clinical Psychology as the leading subfield (16% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels), and Stress Responses and Cortisol as the leading topic (8% of slots across 3 PIs; 3 labels). That is a thin collaboration pattern, useful for spotting individual pairs but less persuasive as a broad departmental network. The top weighted PIs are Justin E. Karr (14.9 weighted works; Child and Adolescent Psychosocial and Emotional Development, Injury Epidemiology and Prevention). The strongest pairings are Shannon Sauer‐Zavala and Thomas A. Widiger (2 shared works, weight 1.1). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 3 PIs, 2 internal connections, weight 0.7, around Social Psychology, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, Psychiatry and Mental health, led by Michael T. Bardo, Peggy S. Keller, Linda P. Dwoskin.
