Overview

Top Research Topics at Current Alzheimer Research?

The aim of Current Alzheimer Research is to expand the discussion of research in Disease, Alzheimer's disease, Neuroscience, Dementia and Internal medicine. The journal focuses on Disease but sometimes tackles the closely related topic of Cognition which is concerned with Audiology. Neuropathology, Amyloid beta and Amyloid are some topics wherein Alzheimer's disease research discussed in Current Alzheimer Research have an impact.

The Amyloid study featured in Current Alzheimer Research draws parallels with the field of Biochemistry. Current Alzheimer Research focuses on Neuroscience but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Tau protein and Neurodegeneration. The concepts on Dementia presented in Current Alzheimer Research can also apply to other research fields, including Psychiatry, Gerontology and Clinical psychology.

While work presented in it provided substantial information on Internal medicine, it also covered topics in Gastroenterology, Endocrinology and Oncology. In Current Alzheimer Research, researchers investigate the Neuroprotection study as part of research in the field of Pharmacology. The work on Amyloid precursor protein addressed in it expands to the thematically related Cell biology.

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal is mainly concerned with subjects like Disease, Internal medicine, Dementia, Neuroscience and Endocrinology. Cognitive impairment studies in the realm of Disease interact with fields like In patient. In the journal, Diabetes mellitus, Gastroenterology, Oncology and Genotype are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Internal medicine research.

Issues in Dementia were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance, Episodic memory and Confidence interval. Neuroscience research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Amyloid beta and Atrophy. The subject of Amyloid, which is connected to the field of Calcium, Pharmacology and Neuroprotection, serves as the foundation of the Endocrinology research featured in it.

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, 1.85% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 7.55% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 4.72% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.15% of all publications and 73.58% 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.
