Overview

Top Research Topics at American Journal of Neuroradiology?

The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Radiology, Surgery, Pathology, Nuclear medicine and Magnetic resonance imaging. The study on Radiology presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Vascular disease. American Journal of Neuroradiology explores research in Surgery and the adjacent study of Stroke.

The journal facilitates discussions on Pathology that incorporate concepts from other fields like White matter, Central nervous system disease and Central nervous system. The work on White matter addressed in American Journal of Neuroradiology expands to the thematically related Diffusion MRI. The journal aims to bridge the gap between the study of Nuclear medicine and In patient.

Many of the studies tackled connect Magnetic resonance imaging with a similar field of study like Anatomy.

  • Radiology (33.10%)
  • Surgery (22.88%)
  • Pathology (20.37%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Frequencies Contributing to Functional Connectivity in the Cerebral Cortex in “Resting-state” Data (1228 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at American Journal of Neuroradiology:

The published papers primarily focus on research topics in Radiology, Surgery, Pathology, Central nervous system disease and Nuclear medicine. The published articles dive deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Radiology and Vascular disease. While the most cited publications focused on Pathology, they were also able to explore topics like White matter, Magnetic resonance imaging and Hyperintensity.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Radiology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal generally zeroes in on subjects such as Radiology, In patient, Nuclear medicine, Internal medicine and Mr imaging. Research in Neuroimaging and the interrelating topic of Pathology were among the subjects of interest in the Radiology studies discussed in the journal. Pathology and White matter are closely related fields of research discussed in the journal.

Issues in Nuclear medicine were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Image quality, Intraclass correlation, Perfusion and Contrast (vision). American Journal of Neuroradiology addresses concerns in the field of Stroke by exploring it in line with topics in Surgery which intersect with MEDLINE subjects. Occlusion research in the journal involves the investigation of Embolization studies, all of which are linked to disciplines such as Aneurysm.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Noninvasive Determination of IDH and 1p19q Status of Lower-grade Gliomas Using MRI Radiomics: A Systematic Review. (12 citations)

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, 13.70% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 28.25% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.25% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.83% of all publications and 46.67% 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.

Importance of Choosing the Right Educational Institution for Aspiring Neuroradiologists
