Overview

Top Research Topics at Epilepsy and behavior case reports?

Epilepsy, Anesthesia, Pediatrics, Ictal and Electroencephalography are among the topics commonly tackled in Epilepsy and behavior case reports. While work presented in it provided substantial information on Epilepsy, it also covered topics in Surgery and Audiology. Topics in Anesthesia explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Drug Resistant Epilepsy, Lamotrigine, Lacosamide and Vagus nerve stimulation.

While Pediatrics is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Perampanel, Adverse effect, Status epilepticus, Disease and Levetiracetam. The Status epilepticus study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Refractory. Issues in Ictal were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Internal medicine, Frontal lobe and Cardiology.

Epilepsy and behavior case reports explores research in Pathology and overlapping concepts in Neuroimaging to expand the discourse in Electroencephalography. The Psychiatry works, particularly on Psychosis are tackled in it. Epilepsy and behavior case reports focused on Epilepsy surgery research but expanded to cover Cortical dysplasia.

  • Epilepsy (55.03%)

  • Disease

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Epilepsy and behavior case reports focuses on Epilepsy, Pediatrics, Drug Resistant Epilepsy, Ictal and Temporal lobe. The studies on Epilepsy discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Hippocampal formation, Hippocampus and Cortex (anatomy). It addresses concerns in Pediatrics which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Electroencephalography, Status epilepticus, Convulsive status epilepticus, Perampanel and Asymptomatic.

Electroencephalography research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Leukoencephalopathy, Disease and Tonic seizures. The Ictal works featured in Epilepsy and behavior case reports incorporate elements from Internal medicine and Cardiology. The studies in Temporal lobe featured incorporate elements of Surgery, Resection and Epilepsy surgery.

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 2019 edition, 12.50% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 14.29% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 14.29% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 35.71% of all publications and 35.71% 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.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

For those interested in pursuing a medical career in the USA, exploring related online degrees can provide flexible and efficient pathways. Many students consider accelerated options such as direct entry MSN programs for non nurses online, which allow individuals without a nursing background to quickly enter advanced nursing roles.

When comparing programs, prospective students often evaluate institutions to find the best fit. For example, comparing wgu vs chamberlain highlights differences in curriculum flexibility, cost, and clinical components, aiding informed decision-making.

For nurses aiming to advance their education, affordable options such as bsn to msn programs online offer a cost-effective route to higher qualifications without compromising convenience.

Moreover, some students seek programs with minimal in-person requirements. Programs like rn to bsn programs with no clinicals provide an option to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing fully online, ideal for working professionals balancing other commitments.
