Overview

Top Research Topics at The Cerebellum?

The concepts of Cerebellum, Neuroscience, Neurology, Ataxia and Spinocerebellar ataxia are tackled in the journal. The work on Cerebellum tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Cognition, Anatomy and Cell biology. It features Cognition research that overlaps with concepts in Cognitive psychology.

Research on Neuroscience presented in The Cerebellum focuses, in particular, on Cerebellar cortex, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Motor learning, Transcranial magnetic stimulation and Granule cell. While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Neurology, it also covered topics in Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Audiology, Pathology, Magnetic resonance imaging and Pediatrics. The research on Ataxia featured in it combines topics in other fields like Disease and Atrophy.

Research in the field of Genetics was used to conduct the presented Spinocerebellar ataxia study. Gene is a focus of the presented Genetics works and it dives deep in Gene. In addition to Internal medicine research, it aims to explore topics under Gastroenterology and Cardiology.

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, 1.32% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 20.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 14.67% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.00% of all publications and 53.33% 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 Opportunities in Related Fields

Alongside the research areas discussed in this article, there are many career opportunities in related fields that may be of interest to our readers. In particular, the field of speech language pathology presents a variety of exciting prospects for those interested in neuroscience, neurology, and cognition.

A speech language pathologist (SLP) works with patients who have speech, language, voice, and fluency disorders. They can work in a variety of settings including schools, hospitals, and private practices. The educational route to become an SLP typically involves earning a master's degree in communication sciences and disorders or a related field. Coursework often covers topics like anatomy, physiology, and development of the areas of the body involved in speech, language, and swallowing; the nature of disorders; and principles of acoustics.

Additionally, most states require that SLPs be licensed, which usually requires a master's degree from an accredited program and a certain amount of clinical experience. For those in Virginia, the specific license requirements can be found on our dedicated page about speech pathologist requirements in Virginia.

If you are considering a career in this rewarding field, we encourage you to explore the various resources and information available on our platform. The intersection of research and practical application in speech language pathology presents a unique and fulfilling professional opportunity.
