Overview

Top Research Topics at Audiology and Neuro-otology?

Audiology and Neuro-otology facilitates discussions on Audiology, Hearing loss, Cochlear implant, Cochlea and Speech perception. Most of the Audiology studies addressed also intersect with Implant. While Audiology and Neuro-otology focused on Hearing loss, it was also able to explore topics like Surgery and Retrospective cohort study.

It addresses concerns in Cochlear implant which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Speech recognition, Sound localization, Electrode array and Stimulation. Some problems in Cochlea that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Inner ear and Internal medicine. Inner ear research discussed in Audiology and Neuro-otology aim to provide more information in the subject of Anatomy.

  • Audiology (52.07%)
  • Hearing loss (28.57%)
  • Cochlear implant (20.29%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Involuntary attention and distractibility as evaluated with event-related brain potentials. (533 citations)
  • Mismatch negativity: different water in the same river. (515 citations)
  • Development of Language and Speech Perception in Congenitally, Profoundly Deaf Children as a Function of Age at Cochlear Implantation (443 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Audiology and Neuro-otology:

The journal papers mostly deal with topics like Audiology, Hearing loss, Cochlear implant, Cochlea and Neuroscience. The journal publications focus on Audiology but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Speech perception, Implant and Speech recognition. The published articles in Cochlear implantation fall within the purview of Cochlear implant but it also intertwines with topics in QUIET.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Surgery

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Audiology and Neuro-otology investigates areas of study like Audiology, Cochlear implant, Hearing loss, Sensorineural hearing loss and Cochlea. It holds forums on Audiology that merges themes from other disciplines such as Stimulus (physiology), Speech perception and Quality of life. The studies on Cochlear implant discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Loudness, Chart review, Electrode array and Neurocognitive.

Audiometry is a key component of Hearing loss research discussed in the journal. The journal explores topics in Sensorineural hearing loss which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Absolute threshold of hearing, Speech reception threshold, Retrospective cohort study, Sudden Hearing Loss and Audiogram. Topics in Cochlea were tackled in line with various other fields like Biomedical engineering, Inner ear, Auditory function, Cadaveric spasm and Sympathetic nervous system.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Acceptance and Benefits of Electro-Acoustic Stimulation for Conventional-Length Electrode Arrays. (2 citations)
  • Atraumatic Insertion of a Cochlear Implant Pre-Curved Electrode Array by a Robot-Automated Alignment with the Coiling Direction of the Scala Tympani. (1 citations)

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

The top authors publishing in Audiology and Neuro-otology (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Olivier Sterkers (22 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition,

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, 6.78% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 7.27% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.45% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.55% of all publications and 72.73% 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.
