Phonology, Phonetics and Sentence are some of the facets of Linguistics tackled in International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders. In it, Language acquisition and Vocabulary are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Language development research.
The journal papers aim to foster the development of research in Developmental psychology, Language disorder, Communication disorder, Specific language impairment and Language development. Issues in Developmental psychology were discussed in the published articles, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Intervention (counseling), Phonology and Cognition. While the published articles focused on Language disorder, they were also able to explore topics like Linguistics, Conversation, Comprehension, Audiology and Aphasia.
The aim of International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders is to expand the discussion of research in Psychological intervention, Context (language use), Intervention (counseling), Audiology and Medical education. The Psychological intervention works featured in International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders incorporate elements from Rehabilitation, Interpersonal communication, Applied psychology, Dysphagia and Service delivery framework. International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders facilitates discussions on Intervention (counseling) that incorporate concepts from other fields like Thematic analysis, Language disorder and Clinical psychology.
It addresses concerns in Audiology which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Stroke and Construct validity. The Medical education research presented in International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders explores the relationship between Perception and the closely related topic of Curriculum. In addition to Comprehension research, International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders aims to explore topics under Developmental psychology and Reading (process).
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 International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders (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 International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders (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, 2.17% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 31.11% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.67% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 24.44% of all publications and 37.78% 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.
For individuals attracted to the field of language and communication disorders, there are various career paths to consider. One might choose to dive into developmental psychology, focusing on language disorders, or explore audiology within the scope of linguistic and communicative disorders. Those drawn to the field tend to have an inherent interest in subjects like cognitive psychology, nonverbal communication, and the intricate nuances of language acquisition and development.
Given the interdisciplinary nature of this field, several career paths can stem from it. Potential roles include linguistic experts, clinical researchers, developmental psychologists, speech-language pathologists, audiologists, and teachers specializing in language disorders, to name a few.
Additionally, one might opt for specialized paths such as a forensic scientist. Forensic linguists, for example, apply their understanding of language and communication to legal contexts. Interested candidates may consider exploring a forensic science degree in Arkansas.
The prospects of this field are very encouraging, given the ongoing research on an international level, as evident in publications such as the International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders. This journal opens up avenues for further research, potentially leading to revolutionary developments in this multidisciplinary field.
