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, 2.94% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 50.51% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.11% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.17% of all publications and 21.21% 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 Opportunities in Neurology-Related Disciplines

In line with the various research topics discussed in the Journal of Clinical Neurology, it's important to highlight that these areas have numerous career opportunities available. Especially for those who are considering a career in fields related to pathology, internal medicine, anesthesia, surgery, and neurology. In particular, the field of speech therapy is tied closely to Neurology and plays a crucial role in the medical industry.

As a speech therapist or a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP), you would work with patients who have difficulty in communication because of physical or cognitive issues. Cognitive issues can stem from neurological disorders such as stroke or brain injury. Such roles require not just technical knowledge, but also proficiency in human anatomy, understanding of various neurological conditions, patience, and strong interpersonal skills.

If you're interested in this area, one of the many paths you can consider is to become a Speech-Language Pathologist in the state of Illinois. Not only does it offer a satisfying career, but it’s a burgeoning field in the medical industry.
