The scientific interests tackled in the journal are Physical therapy, Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Multimedia, Applied psychology and Rehabilitation. While work presented in it provided substantial information on Physical therapy, it also covered topics in Body mass index, Gerontology, Intervention (counseling), Randomized controlled trial and Energy expenditure. The Body mass index study tackling the subject of Overweight is the focus of the journal.
Discussions in the journal are anchored in the subject of Gerontology and the similar topic of Obesity. The study on Intervention (counseling) presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Psychological intervention. Games for health journal holds forums on Physical medicine and rehabilitation that merges themes from other disciplines such as Stroke, Cognition and Virtual reality.
Multimedia research presented is mostly focused on the subject of Games for Health. Applied psychology and Social psychology are closely related fields of research discussed in the journal.
The most cited papers aim to foster the development of research in Applied psychology, Physical therapy, Rehabilitation, Gerontology and Multimedia. The works on Applied psychology tackled in the most cited articles bring together disciplines like Older people, Social psychology and Cognition. The most cited articles with studies in Physical therapy featured incorporate elements of Randomized controlled trial, Methodological quality and Gait analysis.
The journal tackles a plethora of topics, such as Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Randomized controlled trial, Physical therapy, Virtual reality and Cognition. The journal focuses on Physical medicine and rehabilitation but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Meta-analysis and DUAL (cognitive architecture). Randomized controlled trial research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Rehabilitation, Cognitive training, Gerontology, Quality of life (healthcare) and Pelvic Floor Muscle.
In it, Scale (social sciences), Fibromyalgia, Medical education, Inclusion (education) and Scopus are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Rehabilitation research. The Physical therapy works featured in Games for health journal incorporate elements from Hemodynamics and Rating of perceived exertion. Older people, Obesity, Function (engineering) and Normal weight are some topics wherein Cognition research discussed in it have an impact.
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 Games for health journal (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Games for health journal (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
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, 2.38% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 7.32% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.32% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 19.51% of all publications and 65.85% were from other institutions.
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.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
In relation to applied psychology, one of the professions experiencing increasing interest and demand is the field of behavioral analysis. Behavioral analysts, commonly known as Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA), serve an essential role in healthcare, education, and therapy sectors. They focus on understanding and modifying behavior in various environments. Their scientific approach enables them to work constructively with people diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or those with learning difficulties.
A career as a behavioral analyst begins with a bachelor's degree in psychology or related fields. However, a master's degree in applied behavior analysis or psychology is generally required to qualify for certification and professional practice. To gain the BCBA credential, a person must pass an examination conducted by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board.
Salary prospects for a BCBA can be different from state to state. As such, someone might be interested in learning about the specific career information about becoming a BCBA in a particular state. For example, you can find detailed information on how to become a behavior analyst in Wyoming, resource requirements, certification details, and potential salary at the following link.
In conclusion, as discussions and research in applied psychology grow, so does interest in related professions, making it crucial for prospective students or professionals to have comprehensive and accessible information about these opportunities.
