Methodology. Behavior Analysis in Practice, 1, 3-9
Behavior Analysis in Practice presents empirically validated best
practices in an accessible format that describes not only what works,
but also the challenges of implementation in practical settings. The
journal is of special interest and relevance to front-line service
workers and their supervisors, scientist-practitioners, and school
personnel. Types of articles and topics to be found between its pages
include empirical reports describing the application and evaluation of
behavior-analytic procedures and programs; discussion papers on
professional and practice issues; technical articles on methods, data
analysis, or instrumentation in the practice of behavior analysis;
tutorials on terms, procedures, and theories relevant to best
practices in behavior analysis; and critical reviews of books and
products that are aimed at practitioners or consumers of behavior
analysis.
