Overview

Top Research Topics at Ajob Neuroscience?

The journal primarily focuses on research topics in Neuroethics, Epistemology, Social psychology, Psychotherapist and Cognitive science. The journal tackles topics on Neuroethics, which can potentially contribute to the wider field of Neuroscience. The presentations discussing Epistemology offer insights in topics such as Free will and Virtue.

Social psychology study tackled is connected to the field of Autonomy. The work tackled in it goes beyond the discipline of Psychotherapist as it also encompasses Deep brain stimulation. While Deep brain stimulation is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Psychiatry and Depression (differential diagnoses).

  • Neuroethics (16.41%)
  • Epistemology (15.37%)
  • Social psychology (14.23%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • The Purpose in Chronic Addiction (108 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Ajob Neuroscience:

The most cited articles aim to foster the development of research in Neuroethics, Epistemology, Psychiatry, Deep brain stimulation and Cognition. The published articles explore the study of Neuroethics to improve our understanding of the broader topic of Neuroscience. The Epistemology research presented in the journal papers focuses mostly on Moral development and, on occasion, topics in Morality, Social group and Empathy.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Epistemology
  • Social psychology
  • Social science

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Ajob Neuroscience investigates areas of study like Cognitive science, Neuroethics, Epistemology, Virtue and Disorders of consciousness. The studies on Cognitive science discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Narrative, Agency (sociology), Optogenetics, Personality and Self. The journal explores issues in Neuroethics which can be linked to other research areas like Psychotherapist, Ethical issues, Disease, Neurosurgery and Field (Bourdieu).

The research on Psychotherapist featured in it combines topics in other fields like Psychological intervention, Bioethics and Deep brain stimulation. Studies on Epistemology discussed in Ajob Neuroscience link to the field of Narrative identity. The close relationship between Health care and Resource allocation is one of the points of interest dissected in Disorders of consciousness research.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Personality and Authenticity in Light of the Memory-Modifying Potential of Optogenetics. (17 citations)
  • What Justifies the Allocation of Health Care Resources to Patients with Disorders of Consciousness (13 citations)
  • Virtue Theory for Moral Enhancement (12 citations)

Papers citation over time

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 2.47% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 21.52% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.59% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 21.52% of all publications and 49.37% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
