Overview

Top Research Topics at Developmental Neuropsychology?

Developmental Neuropsychology investigates areas of study like Developmental psychology, Cognition, Audiology, Cognitive psychology and Neuropsychology. The studies in Developmental psychology featured incorporate elements of Working memory, Neuropsychological test, El Niño and Cognitive disorder. The work on Cognition tackled in Developmental Neuropsychology brings together disciplines like Perception and Clinical psychology.

The studies on Audiology discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Electrophysiology and Event-related potential, Electroencephalography. It focuses on Cognitive psychology research which is adjacent to topics in Reading (process). Dyslexia is a major topic of Reading (process) research presented in it.

Research on Dyslexia addressed in Developmental Neuropsychology frequently intersections with the field of Communication disorder. The majority of Neuroscience studies in Developmental Neuropsychology are focused on the subject of Central nervous system.

  • Developmental psychology (59.64%)
  • Cognition (36.11%)
  • Audiology (22.78%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

Research areas of the most cited articles at Developmental Neuropsychology:

The published articles explore disciplines such as Developmental psychology, Cognition, Cognitive psychology, Working memory and El Niño. The most cited papers explore topics in Developmental psychology which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Neuropsychological test, Neuropsychology, Audiology, Executive functions and Cognitive disorder.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Cognition
  • Neuroscience

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Developmental Neuropsychology generally zeroes in on subjects such as Cognitive psychology, Clinical psychology, Developmental psychology, Neuropsychology and Cognition. The tackled Cognitive psychology research is interrelated with Reading (process) which concerns subjects like Inference and Word (computer architecture). Developmental Neuropsychology tackles studies in Autism spectrum disorder and the interrelated subject of Intellectual disability, MEDLINE and Case-control study to gain insights into Clinical psychology.

Interdisciplinary research on topics like Developmental psychology and Baseline (configuration management) are the foci of it. While work presented in it provided substantial information on Neuropsychology, it also covered topics in Latin Americans, Sample (statistics), Audiology and Anxiety. Some problems in Cognition that were presented in Developmental Neuropsychology overlapped with concepts under Spanish speaking, Factor structure and Academic skills.

  • Brain Developmental Trajectories in Children and Young Adults with Isolated Cleft Lip and/or Cleft Palate. (1 citations)

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

The top authors publishing in Developmental Neuropsychology (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Vicki Anderson (26 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,

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, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 11.43% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.43% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 5.71% of all publications and 71.43% 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.

Pursuing a Career in Developmental Neuropsychology

If you are considering a career in Developmental Neuropsychology, having a solid understanding of the intricacies of the field will help you excel in this discipline.
