Overview

Top Research Topics at Developmental Neurorehabilitation?

Developmental Neurorehabilitation is organized to address concerns in the fields of Developmental psychology, Physical therapy, Cerebral palsy, Physical medicine and rehabilitation and Clinical psychology. It addresses concerns in Developmental psychology which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Intervention (counseling), Cognitive psychology and Audiology. The study on Intervention (counseling) presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Psychological intervention.

Rehabilitation and Activities of daily living research are fields of study within Physical therapy but they also intertwine with concepts in Occupational safety and health. It features Cerebral palsy research that overlaps with concepts in Motor skill. The main emphasis of Developmental Neurorehabilitation is the subject of Physical medicine and rehabilitation, focusing on Balance (ability).

Clinical psychology research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Psychiatry, Cognition and Anxiety. The majority of Autism studies are focused on the issues of Autism spectrum disorder. The work tackled in Developmental Neurorehabilitation goes beyond the discipline of Injury prevention as it also encompasses Traumatic brain injury.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Developmental Neurorehabilitation:

The most cited papers facilitate discussions on Developmental psychology, Autism, Clinical psychology, Physical therapy and Cerebral palsy. Issues in Developmental psychology were discussed in the most cited articles, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Intervention (counseling), Context (language use) and Cognition. The published articles explore issues in Physical therapy which can be linked to other research areas like Quality of life, Motor skill and Physical medicine and rehabilitation.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Cognition
  • Disease

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Developmental Neurorehabilitation aims to foster the development of research in Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Cerebral palsy, Rehabilitation, Autism spectrum disorder and Clinical psychology. The studies in Physical medicine and rehabilitation featured incorporate elements of Range of motion, Gross motor skill, Randomized controlled trial and Intervention (counseling). Some problems in Cerebral palsy that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Clinical trial, Babbling, Audiology, Gait and Spasticity.

In the journal, researchers investigate the Rehabilitation study as part of research in the field of Physical therapy. The field of Autism is the anchor for the Autism spectrum disorder studies presented in Developmental Neurorehabilitation. The journal addresses concerns in the field of Clinical psychology by exploring it in line with topics in Anxiety which intersect with Depression (differential diagnoses) subjects.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Gross Motor Development of Children with Congenital Heart Disease Receiving Early Systematic Surveillance and Individualized Intervention: Brief Report. (7 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, 5.81% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 17.28% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 19.75% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 11.11% of all publications and 51.85% 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.

Career Opportunities in Developmental Neurorehabilitation

Students and professionals alike may be interested in the variety of careers available within the field of Developmental Neurorehabilitation. In addition to being a rewarding field dedicated to improving the lives of patients, it offers a multitude of specialized occupations such as Developmental Psychologists, Physical Therapists, Speech-Language Pathologists, and Clinical Psychologists.
