Overview

Top Research Topics at International Journal of Neuroscience?

The journal primarily tackles Internal medicine, Neuroscience, Endocrinology, Audiology and Developmental psychology. The research on Internal medicine tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Gastroenterology, Anesthesia and Cardiology. Topics like Electrophysiology, Central nervous system and Stimulation are tackled as part of the discussions on Neuroscience.

Some problems in Audiology that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Stimulus (physiology) and Electroencephalography. The Developmental psychology works featured in it incorporate elements from Cognition and Neuropsychology. It connects research in Cognition with the related topic of Cognitive psychology.

International Journal of Neuroscience connects the study in Laterality with the closely related area of Lateralization of brain function.

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, 9.13% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 5.24% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 3.93% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.90% of all publications and 72.93% 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 Orientation: Speech Language Pathology

Another area that might be of interest to readers of the International Journal of Neuroscience is the field of Speech Language Pathology. This profession often intertwines with areas of neuroscience, audiology, and developmental psychology, which the Journal discusses extensively. Speech-language pathologists, sometimes called speech therapists, are experts who help to diagnose, evaluate, and treat a variety of communication and swallowing disorders. In terms of education and training, becoming a speech-language pathologist involves obtaining a master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology and completing the required clinical hours. Once the academic and clinical requirements are fulfilled, the next step is usually national certification followed by state licensure. For instance, if a reader is interested in this career and resides in Utah, they might consider looking into more specific guidelines on qualifying as a speech therapist in the state. The resources on how to become a speech therapist can be vast and sometimes overwhelming. But to make your journey easier, we have gathered some key information on how to be a speech therapist in Utah. This link provides an insightful guide about education, certification, and licensure requirements specific to Utah. Entering the field of speech-language pathology not only aligns with many areas of study in the International Journal of Neuroscience, but it also allows professionals to apply these concepts practically, strengthening the ties between research and clinical application.
