Clinical Neurophysiology Practice

Top Research Topics at Clinical Neurophysiology Practice?

Electroencephalography, Audiology, Anesthesia, Physical medicine and rehabilitation and Internal medicine are among the topics commonly tackled in Clinical Neurophysiology Practice. The Electroencephalography study which was featured in it aims to expound on the research in Neuroscience. It served as a forum through which researchers explored different topics like Neuroscience and Text mining.

The work tackled in the journal goes beyond the discipline of Audiology as it also encompasses Transcranial magnetic stimulation. Clinical Neurophysiology Practice focused on Anesthesia research but expanded to cover Surgery. Clinical Neurophysiology Practice facilitates discussions on Physical medicine and rehabilitation that incorporate concepts from other fields like Neurophysiology and Psychogenic disease.

The research on Internal medicine discussed in Clinical Neurophysiology Practice draws on the closely related field of Cardiology. Cardiology research is concerned with Cerebral blood flow in particular. The Epilepsy study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Pediatrics.

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Clinical Neurophysiology Practice primarily focuses on research topics in Audiology, Electroencephalography, Internal medicine, Cardiology and Anesthesia. Clinical Neurophysiology Practice explores Audiology concepts, specifically Vestibular system but expands to research in Neurotypical. The Electroencephalography works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Coma and Under sampling.

The journal explores issues in Cardiology which can be linked to other research areas like Bradycardia, Blood pressure and Heart rate. The featured Anesthesia studies mainly concentrate on Prospective cohort study but also cover areas of interest in Needle electromyography and Pain perception. The journal tackles studies in Peripheral and the interrelated subject of Neuroscience to gain insights into Stimulus (physiology).

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Under-sampling in epilepsy: Limitations of conventional EEG. (3 citations)
• Electrographic seizure monitoring with a novel, wireless, single-channel EEG sensor. (2 citations)
• Occurrence of hyperventilation-induced high amplitude rhythmic slowing with altered awareness after successful treatment of typical absence seizures and a network hypothesis. (2 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, 14.29% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 23.81% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.14% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 23.81% of all publications and 45.24% 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.
