Clinical Autonomic Research

Top Research Topics at Clinical Autonomic Research?

Clinical Autonomic Research generally zeroes in on subjects such as Neurology, Internal medicine, Anesthesia, Diabetes mellitus and Cardiology. Topics in Neurology explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Pure autonomic failure, Intensive care medicine, Disease, Autonomic nervous system and Pediatrics. The Autonomic nervous system study featured in Clinical Autonomic Research draws parallels with the field of Neuroscience.

Most of the works presented in Clinical Autonomic Research deals with Internal medicine but it intersects with the subject of Endocrinology. The journal focuses on Anesthesia but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Tilt table test, Baroreceptor, Orthostatic vital signs and Sympathetic nervous system. The study on Orthostatic vital signs featured in the journal expounds on the topic of Orthostatic intolerance in particular.

Clinical Autonomic Research holds forums on Diabetes mellitus that merges themes from other disciplines such as Gastroenterology, Dysautonomia and Atrophy. Most of the Cardiology studies addressed also intersect with Physical therapy. Topics in Blood pressure were tackled in line with various other fields like Supine position and Hemodynamics.

Clinical Autonomic Research explores disciplines such as Neurology, Internal medicine, Cardiology, Diabetes mellitus and Orthostatic vital signs. The concepts on Neurology presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Anesthesia, Intensive care medicine, Emergency medicine, Autonomic nervous system and Pediatrics. In addition to Anesthesia research, the journal aims to explore topics under Retrospective cohort study, Adverse effect and Standing systolic blood pressure.

It addresses concerns in Cardiology which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Microneurography and Heart rate variability, Blood pressure, Baroreflex, Heart rate. It investigates Blood pressure research which frequently intersects with Supine position. Diabetes mellitus research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Spinal cord injury, Supine hypertension, Disease, Vagus nerve stimulation and Baroreceptor.

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, 4.90% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 41.24% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 3.09% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.40% of all publications and 42.27% 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.

Further Career Opportunities and Areas of Expertise

Considering the broad spectrum of research interests and articles that emerge in the field of Clinical Autonomic Research, numerous career opportunities can be explored. One such opportunity lies in the specialized field of Speech-Language Pathology. Particularly for individuals looking to utilize their clinical research expertise in the healthcare industry, becoming a speech therapist presents an excellent professional path forward.

Speech therapists, or speech-language pathologists, specialize in the evaluation and treatment of communication disorders and swallowing dysfunctions. The knowledge gleaned from Clinical Autonomic Research, including understanding of the autonomic nervous system, Neurology, Internal medicine, and other related topics, can significantly contribute to the skill set of a speech therapist. In fact, deep knowledge of these fields can enhance a professional's ability to understand, diagnose, and treat patients effectively, leading to better patient outcomes.
