I have in vain tried to find a paper which describes the growth of the use of SEM, and SEM-related, methods in research, especially psychological research. I tried SEMNET and PsychInfo database without result.
The growth is probably exponential in recent years, but I need documentation in order to convince conservative decision makers of the importance of this field.
Any hints? |

Hamaker successfully used PsychInfo for her Hopkins Short Course Topic 12 graph of the growth of ILD papers. She says:
What I did was:
- search in psychinfo for relevant terms (ambulatory assessment, experience sampling, etc) in the title, abstract or key words of articles; I excluded PhD theses
- then selected from this total list each year separately (you can indicate further ways you want to narrow it down, so you can do this per year; I did have to do this "by hand", filling in the years each time, so it was a little laborious)
- wrote down the number of hits per year in an excel file and made the plot |
