title: What Counts as High-Quality Practitioner Training in Applied Behavior Analysis?
abstract: Dixon and colleagues (this issue), who support faculty research productivity as one measure of quality for graduate training programs in applied behavior analysis, show that the faculty members of many programs have limited research track records. I provide some context for their findings by discussing some of the many unanswered questions about the role of research training for ABA practitioners.
