Overview

Top Research Topics at Applied Neuropsychology?

Applied Neuropsychology investigates studies in Neuropsychology, Clinical psychology, Cognition, Developmental psychology and Test (assessment). In addition to Neuropsychology research, the journal aims to explore topics under Audiology and Traumatic brain injury. In the journal, Physical therapy and Injury prevention are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Traumatic brain injury research.

While work presented in Applied Neuropsychology provided substantial information on Injury prevention, it also covered topics in Occupational safety and health, Suicide prevention and Human factors and ergonomics. The research on Clinical psychology tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Neurocognitive, Sample (statistics), Dementia and Depression (differential diagnoses). Cognition research featured in Applied Neuropsychology incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Cognitive psychology and Physical medicine and rehabilitation.

It focused on Developmental psychology research but expanded to cover Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale. Topics in Test (assessment) were tackled in line with various other fields like Reliability (statistics) and Normative.

  • Neuropsychology (35.73%)
  • Clinical psychology (30.35%)
  • Cognition (29.51%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • TEST REVIEW: Dean C. Delis, Edith Kaplan & Joel H. Kramer, Delis Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS), The Psychological Corporation, San Antonio, TX, 2001. $415.00 (complete kit) (1517 citations)

  • Measurement of symptoms following sports-related concussion: reliability and normative data for the post-concussion scale. (472 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Applied Neuropsychology:

The journal papers primarily tackle Neuropsychology, Developmental psychology, Cognition, Clinical psychology and Psychiatry. While Developmental psychology is the focus of the published papers, it also provides insights into the studies of Test (assessment), Audiology, Visual memory, Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale and Normative. The most cited articles hold forums on Clinical psychology that merge themes from other disciplines such as Activities of daily living and Intelligence quotient.

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

  • Cognition
  • Internal medicine
  • Disease

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The topics of Cognition, Clinical psychology, Neuropsychology, Test (assessment) and Cognitive psychology are the focal point of discussions in the journal. The close relationship between Physical medicine and rehabilitation and Cognitive rehabilitation therapy and Traumatic brain injury is one of the points of interest dissected in Cognition research. It facilitates discussions on Clinical psychology that incorporate concepts from other fields like Cognitive impairment, Reliability (statistics), Neuropsychological test, Dementia and Executive functions.

While Neuropsychology is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Context (language use), Test validity and Internal medicine. Topics in Test (assessment) explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Sample (statistics), Audiology and Normative. While work presented in it provided substantial information on Cognitive psychology, it also covered topics in Verbal fluency test and Episodic memory.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Cross-validation of three Advanced Clinical Solutions performance validity tests: Examining combinations of measures to maximize classification of invalid performance. (23 citations)
  • Impact of criterion measures on the classification accuracy of TOMM-1 (12 citations)
  • Metacognitive self-assessment scale: psychometric properties and clinical implications. (8 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, 4.55% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 10.48% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.67% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.10% of all publications and 64.76% 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.

Career Prospects in Applied Neuropsychology and Relevant Requirements

An appealing career path for those interested in Applied Neuropsychology is becoming a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP). This role involves applying knowledge from neuropsychology and related fields to help individuals with different communication disorders. SLPs work with patients who have neurological disorders, traumatic brain injuries, cognitive impairments, and many other conditions that affect speech and language abilities.

There are certain education and licensing requirements one must meet to become a Speech-Language Pathologist. Typically, one must have a Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology or a similarly related field to be considered for this career. Additionally, all states have licensing prerequisites to ensure the individual is capable of offering professional help. One may need to meet certain continuing education requirements to maintain licensure.

In the case of New Hampshire, there are specific rules and regulations for becoming an SLP. These include educational qualifications and multiple exams that apply to the state. You can find more detailed information regarding these requirements by visiting the New Hampshire SLP license requirements page. Becoming familiar with these requirements can map your pathway to a rewarding career in Applied Neuropsychology.
