Analysis of the Journal of The American Dietetic Association, 1967 to 1983.

Analysis of the Journal of The American Dietetic Association was undertaken for 1967 to 1983 to determine whether there were changes that might have resulted from the report of the 1972 Study Commission on Dietetics. The study analyzed such factors as the number of original articles, educational background of authors and Journal advisory board members, abstracting of other Journal articles, indexing, citation analysis, and impact factor of the Journal. Study results show increased educational qualifications of authors and advisory board members, more original articles, more efficient indexing, and greater citation frequency.

A computer-assisted admission matching system for the University of Texas medical schools.

The feasibility of a computer-assisted admission matching system was investigated in 1973-74 at the Medical and Dental Application Center at the request of the four University of Texas medical schools. Preference data were gathered from applicants and from schools, and matching simulation was conducted concurrently with actual admission action for 1974 entering classes. Implementation of a matching system for admission of the 1975 entering classes was demonstrated to be feasible, and a decision to implement such a system was made. Data indicating the need for a matching system are briefly reviewed, and the matching concept is discussed. Results of the 1974 feasibility study are presented, and the first year of implementation for the 1975 entering classes is described. Admission matching improved the efficiency of the admission process by reducing the number of unproductive offers of admission and by providing more applicants earlier decisions from participating schools regarding their applications.
