MANY DISTINGUISHED SCIENTISTS IN THIS FIELD HAVE BEEN ACTIVE MEMBERS OF SMEP. SMEP WAS FOUNDED TO FACILITATE HIGH LEVEL RESEARCH AS WELL AS INTENSIVE INTERACTION AMONG MEMBERS. SMEP CONDUCTS AN ANNUAL MEETING/EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE EACH YEAR IN OCTOBER. IN ADDITION TO MEMBERS, NONMEMBERS ALSO ATTEND THE MEETING EACH YEAR INCLUDING APPROXIMATELY 35 NONMEMBER SCIENTISTS AND GRADUATE STUDENTS. SMEP OVERSEES THE PUBLICATION OF A RESEARCH JOURNAL ENTITLED, "MULTIVARIATE BEHAVIORAL RESEARCH" (MBR). THIS JOURNAL PUBLISHES RESEARCH ARTICLES ON MULTIVARIATE METHODOLOGY AND ITS USE IN PSYCHOLOGICAL RESEARCH. THE EDITOR AS WELL AS MOST ASSOCIATE EDITORS AND MANY OF THE REVIEWERS FOR MBR ARE CURRENT MEMBERS OF SMEP, AND THE JOURNAL IS PUBLISHED SIX TIMES EACH YEAR. BECAUSE SMEP DOES NOT EMPLOY PAID STAFF MEMBERS, IT HAS MADE ARRANGEMENTS WITH THE PUBLISHER OF MBR, TAYLOR AND FRANCIS GROUP, LLC, TO MANAGE SUBSCRIPTIONS, SALES OF INDIVIDUAL ISSUES AND BOUND VOLUMES, AND OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTIONS. NET DOLLAR AMOUNTS, AFTER EXPENSES, ARE REMITTED TO SMEP PERIODICALLY BY THE PUBLISHER. DUE TO THESE SUBSTANTIAL PERIODIC PAYMENTS, WHICH ARE ELIMINATED IN CALCULATING THE "PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE" ON LINE 14, SCHEDULE A, PART II, THE SOCIETY'S PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE DOES NOT "NORMALLY" EXCEED THE ONE-THIRD THRESHOLD REQUIRED OF A SECTION 509(A)(1) ORGANIZATION; HOWEVER, AT 11.63 % IT IS HIGHER THAN 10%. SMEP IS, IN FACT, PUBLICLY SUPPORTED AND BENEFITS THE PUBLIC AS EVIDENCED BY THE FACT THAT APPROXIMATELY 271 INSTITUTIONS AND 19 INDIVIDUALS PAID FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS TO MBR IN 2017. IN ADDITION, IN 2017, 78,102 INDIVIDUAL ARTICLES WERE DOWNLOADED FROM THE ONLINE VERSION OF MBR (VIA STANDARD PLATFORMS AND EBSCOHOST). RESEARCHERS FROM THE SCIENTIFIC PUBLIC SUBMIT THEIR SCIENTIFIC REPORTS TO MBR FOR POSSIBLE PUBLICATION. IN 2017, THERE WERE 189 NEW SUBMISSIONS OF ARTICLES; AND 45 ARTICLES WERE PUBLISHED IN 2017, SELECTED FROM THOSE SUBMITTED IN 2017 AND EARLIER YEARS, USING A NETWORK OF APPROXIMATELY 230 SCHOLARS WHO ACTED AS "PEER REVIEWERS" FROM THE SCIENTIFIC PUBLIC. ACCORDING TO THE THOMSON ISI JOURNAL CITATION REPORTS (ISI-JCR) DATA BASE, ARTICLES PUBLISHED IN MBR WERE CITED 5,881 TIMES IN OTHER ARTICLES IN 2017. THIS NUMBER ATTESTS TO THE PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR AND PUBLIC BENEFIT OF MBR. IN ADDITION, SMEP'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES IS GENERALLY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY INTERESTED IN MULTIVARIATE QUANTITATIVE METHODS AND THEIR APPLICATION TO SUBSTANTIVE PROBLEMS IN PSYCHOLOGY, WITH EIGHT TRUSTEES, NONE OF WHOM ARE RELATED TO ONE ANOTHER. FURTHER, SMEP HAS A BONA FIDE FUNDRAISING PROGRAM THROUGH ITS WEBSITE. MOREOVER, SMEP RUNS SEVERAL PROGRAMS EACH YEAR TO SUPPORT EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES FOR STUDENTS AND PROFESSIONALS. FOR EXAMPLE, ONE EDUCATIONAL GOAL HAS BEEN PROMOTING DIVERSITY IN THE COMMUNITY OF QUANTITATIVE PSYCHOLOGISTS. IN ACCORD WITH THIS GOAL, FROM 2004-2013, SMEP SUPPORTED AN ANNUAL CONFERENCE FOR PERSONS FROM UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE ABOUT QUANTITATIVE METHODS. THE CONFERENCE WAS CALLED QUANTITATIVE TRAINING FOR UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS (QTUG), AND WAS COORDINATED WITH THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION, WITH FUNDING FROM THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION AND THE AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION, AS WELL AS SMEP. BETWEEN 2004-2013, MORE THAN 300 STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN QTUG, AND ITS GRADUATES ARE NOW TAKING THEIR PLACES ON PSYCHOLOGY FACULTY AT INSTITUTIONS SUCH AS THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND SPELMAN COLLEGE.
