Overview

Top Research Topics at Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience?

The objective of the journal is to combine knowledge in the areas of Neuroscience, Cognition, Cognitive psychology, Perception and Sensory system. The journal primarily discusses Neuroscience topics, particularly Stimulus (physiology), Prefrontal cortex, Stimulation, Working memory and Posterior parietal cortex. Some problems in Cognition that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Developmental psychology and Context (language use).

While Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience focused on Cognitive psychology, it was also able to explore topics like Social psychology and Autism. The Perception study featured in Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience draws connections with the study of Artificial intelligence. The in-depth study on Artificial intelligence also explores topics in the intersecting field of Computer vision.

Sensory system and Audiology are closely related fields of research discussed in it.

  • Neuroscience (46.58%)
  • Cognition (13.68%)
  • Cognitive psychology (13.03%)

  • Cognition

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Neuroscience, Audiology, Cognition, Autism and Octodon degus are among the topics commonly tackled in Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience. Neuroscience research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as RNA localization, Neurodegeneration and Immune system. The close relationship between Parkinson's disease and Astrocyte, Microglia and Striatum is one of the points of interest dissected in Neurodegeneration research.

The journal explores topics in Audiology which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Temporal context, Intramodal dispersion, Crossmodal and Presentation. The work on Cognition tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Cognitive psychology, Perception, Perspective (graphical), Empathy and Face (sociological concept). While Autism is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Stimulus modality, Trapezoid body, Geniculate and Clinical psychology.

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, 15.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 0.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.82% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.65% of all publications and 73.53% 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 Pathways in Neuroscience and Related Fields

This article so far has extensively delved into the research topics covered in Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, from cognition and cognitive psychology to sensory systems and perception. Knowing about these topics and the current focus areas is crucial for aspiring scientists and students in related fields who aim to contribute to future research. However, it's equally important to discuss the various career opportunities available in these research fields. Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary science that works with many other fields in the medical, rehabilitation, and scientific communities. So, an understanding or a specialization in neuroscience can lead to a variety of career paths. For example, a degree in neuroscience can lead to a career as a neurologist, neuroanatomist, neurobiologist, neuropsychologist, neurophysiologist, neuropharmacologist, and even roles in neuro-imaging and computing like the neuroinformatics scientist. Many research roles are also available in academia, private establishments, government entities, labs and hospitals, as well as in fields intersecting with technology like neuromarketing and neuroprosthetics. For those interested in the study of language and communication, a related field to explore might be Speech-Language Pathology. This field combines elements of audiology, speech, language, and related disorders to diagnose and treat individuals facing challenges in communication, swallowing, and cognition. If you're based out of Virginia, this information on how to become a speech therapist in Virginia can prove helpful. These career pathways not only represent a chance to apply the topics discussed in Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience but also present an opportunity to bring new perspectives into the exploration and understanding of the human brain and its processes.
