Overview

Top Research Topics at Behavioural Neurology?

The discussions in Behavioural Neurology mainly cover the fields of Cognition, Cognitive psychology, Audiology, Neuroscience and Psychiatry. The research on Cognition featured in it combines topics in other fields like Dementia and Disease. The Dementia study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Alzheimer's disease.

The study on Disease featured in Behavioural Neurology expounds on the topic of Parkinson's disease in particular. The studies on Cognitive psychology discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Working memory, Semantic memory and Perception. Most of the works presented in the journal deals with Audiology but it intersects with the subject of Developmental psychology.

Psychiatry and Clinical psychology are closely related fields of research discussed in the journal. The journal focuses on Depression (differential diagnoses) as well as the interrelated topic of Anxiety.

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, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 6.12% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.33% of all publications and 77.55% 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.

About Speech-Language Pathology Research in Behavioural Neurology

Speech-Language Pathology, while not a predominent topic in Behavioural Neurology, has intersected with some of the key research areas of the journal. With the journal's strong emphasis on cognition, cognitive psychology, audiology, and psychiatry, research in Speech-Language Pathology shares an intertwined relationship with these topics due to its multi-dimensional nature. It encompasses auditory cognition, cognitive-communication disorders, and mental health elements in its purview.

A noteworthy point can be made about the journal's focus on topics such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson’s disease. Speech-Language Pathology has significant relevance in the study and management of communication and swallowing problems associated with these neurodegenerative disorders. As such, interdisciplinary research integrating Speech-Language Pathology into the journal's core areas could open doors for comprehensive investigations into communicative disorders.

Moreover, professionals in the field, including those desiring to secure a maryland slp license, could benefit from this potential amalgamation of research topics in Behavioural Neurology. It would provide a richer understanding of neurobehavioural aspects associated with communicative disorders and contribute to more informed, effective treatment strategies.
