Overview

Top Research Topics at Dementia & Neuropsychologia?

The journal facilitates discussions on Dementia, Cognition, Disease, Psychiatry and Clinical psychology. While Dementia & Neuropsychologia focused on Dementia, it was also able to explore topics like Pediatrics, Gerontology, Depression (differential diagnoses) and Cognitive impairment. The study on Gerontology presented in Dementia & Neuropsychologia intersects with the topics under Geriatric Depression Scale.

Topics in Cognition were tackled in line with various other fields like Developmental psychology, Test (assessment) and Audiology. The Audiology research presented in Dementia & Neuropsychologia explores the relationship between Verbal fluency test and the closely related topic of Executive functions. Disease research discussed connects with the study of Neuroscience.

Dementia & Neuropsychologia connects research in Psychiatry with the related topic of Vascular dementia. Dementia & Neuropsychologia focuses on Clinical psychology research which is adjacent to topics in Cognitive test. More specifically, the research on Neuropsychology in the journal is related to Neuropsychological assessment.

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, 15.69% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 62.79% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 4.65% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.95% of all publications and 18.60% 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.

Professional Practice in Dementia and Neuropsychologia: A Look into Licensing and Regulations

One significant aspect that straddles the field operations of Dementia & Neuropsychologia relates to professional licensing and regulations. In the State of Connecticut, for instance, professionals such as Speech Language Pathologists, who often work with patients suffering from dementia, must understand and meet stringent licensing requirements. The State of Connecticut's Department of Health has established guidelines for connecticut slp license requirements, which professionals must comply with to practice in the state. Such regulations shape the landscape for related professional practice. Navigating these complex licensing requirements is crucial for healthcare providers in both academic research and the clinical field examining Dementia and Neuropsychologia. Industry regulations and licensing requirements not only reinforce the integrity of health professionals but also contribute significantly towards improved quality of care and patient outcomes. It's highly beneficial for aspiring professionals, practitioners, and researchers in the field to keenly understand and keep abreast with these profession-specific state-wide licensing guidelines.
