Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology?

The concepts of Electroencephalography, Neuroscience, Audiology, Epilepsy and Anesthesia are tackled in the journal. The works on Electroencephalography deal in particular with Ictal. Neuroscience studies presented in the journal focus on topics such as Stimulation and Transcranial magnetic stimulation.

It concentrated on Epilepsy research, specifically Temporal lobe and Epilepsy surgery. The Anesthesia study tackling the subject of Somatosensory evoked potential is the focus of Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology.

  • Electroencephalography (31.20%)
  • Neuroscience (21.02%)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology:

The most cited papers primarily tackle Electroencephalography, Neuroscience, Epilepsy, Audiology and Anesthesia. The majority of Electroencephalography studies presented in the published papers zero in on Ictal. In addition to Audiology research, the journal publications aim to explore topics under Stimulus (physiology), Non-rapid eye movement sleep and Polysomnography.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Disease

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology primarily focuses on research topics in Electroencephalography, Neuroscience, Epilepsy, Internal medicine and Ictal. Electroencephalography research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Anesthesia, Critically ill and Audiology. While Anesthesia is the key highlight in the journal, it also covered some subjects on Confidence interval and Odds ratio.

Some problems in Audiology that were presented in Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology overlapped with concepts under Clinical neurophysiology, Cognition, Depression (differential diagnoses) and Receiver operating characteristic. Discussions in it are anchored in the subject of Epilepsy and the similar topic of Stimulation. The journal investigates Ictal research which frequently intersects with Scalp.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • American Clinical Neurophysiology Society's Standardized Critical Care EEG Terminology: 2021 Version. (23 citations)
  • Seizure Detection: Interreader Agreement and Detection Algorithm Assessments Using a Large Dataset. (9 citations)

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, 14.62% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 33.33% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.41% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.02% of all publications and 43.24% 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.

Practical Applications and Career Prospects in Clinical Neurophysiology

Before moving forward, it's critical to understand how research and developments in the field of Clinical Neurophysiology are applied in various real-world situations and across different careers. One of the most prominent applications of these studies is in the field of Speech-Language Pathology. The complexities of neuroscience, auriculotherapy, and electroencephalography play a vital role in understanding and treating various speech disorders and cognitive-communication disorders. In particular, becoming a speech pathologist in South Carolina, like any other state, requires a thorough understanding of audiology and neuroscience. It is interesting to note how regional differences, including specific guidelines, statutes, and norms, can influence the approach to this profession. For those readers interested in pursuing a career in this field, we have a detailed guide explaining the specific speech pathologist requirements in South Carolina. This guide will offer information and resources about the educational, licensing, and professional development requirements for this rewarding career. At the heart of Speech-Language Pathology, the knowledge and research in clinical neurophysiology offer a wide range of other applied sectors in medicine, such as diagnosing and treating neural and psychological disorders, understanding neural activities during anesthesia, and much more. The Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology serves as an essential source of ideas and findings to provide these various practical applications.
