A recently published bibliometric review in Emerging Adulthood identified Professor Cliff McKinney as one of the most productive authors worldwide in research on parenting during emerging adulthood. The review analyzed more than 2,000 publications spanning 25 years and listed Professor McKinney first in total publications in this area. The study also placed Mississippi State University among the top three most cited institutions internationally in this research domain—an impact driven almost entirely by Professor McKinney’s scholarship. In addition, two of his former graduate students were recognized among the most productive authors in the field. The review positions Professor McKinney’s work alongside leading figures in emerging adulthood research and highlights Mississippi State University’s national and international visibility in this area of research.
