BUILDING THE YOUTH MENTORING KNOWLEDGE BASE: PUBLISHING TRENDS AND COAUTHORSHIP NETWORKS
Abstract
Despite the long history and widespread popularity of youth mentoring, only in the past two decades has an academic literature emerged to support the development of program policies and practices. This study examines knowledge development in the field of youth mentoring, with special attention to trends in the number and nature of articles published in peer‐reviewed academic journals between 1990 and 2010. The analysis also represents this base of knowledge as a network of articles interconnected by patterns of co‐authorship. The co‐authorship network reveals a notable subset of scholars from several disciplines who are publishing frequently and collaboratively on the topic of youth mentoring. The existence of a core network of youth mentoring researchers bodes well for continued growth of the literature providing theoretical insight and empirical evidence on effective mentoring for youth.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
