Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of epilepsy research?

The objective of Journal of epilepsy research is to combine knowledge in the areas of Epilepsy, Pediatrics, Status epilepticus, Electroencephalography and Anesthesia. It deals with Epilepsy in conjunction with Audiology and similar fields in Cognition. The studies on Pediatrics discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Encephalopathy, Refractory, Drug Resistant Epilepsy, Adverse effect and Etiology.

Tolerability is a primary topic of Adverse effect research in the journal. The research on Status epilepticus discussed in the journal draws on the closely related field of Phenytoin. The journal focused on works that combine different research areas such as Electroencephalography and In patient.

While work presented in it provided substantial information on Ictal, it also covered topics in Magnetic resonance imaging and Radiology. Journal of epilepsy research focuses on Magnetic resonance imaging but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Internal medicine and Cardiology. Journal of epilepsy research explores topics in Epilepsy surgery which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Cortical dysplasia, Intractable epilepsy and Pathology.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Epilepsy

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Journal of epilepsy research primarily focuses on research topics in Epilepsy, Pediatrics, Electroencephalography, Ictal and Etiology. The Epilepsy research dealing mostly with Drug Resistant Epilepsy is the focus of the journal. Issues in Pediatrics were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Intellectual disability, Cerebral hemisphere and Progressive myoclonus epilepsy.

In the journal, Sleep in non-human animals and Epileptogenesis are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Electroencephalography research. Some problems in Ictal that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Temporal lobe and Radiology. Journal of epilepsy research addresses concerns in Etiology which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Epidemiology, Status epilepticus and Cohort.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Correlation between Hemispherectomy and Hemiparesis in Drug Resistant Epilepsy. (0 citations)
  • Convulsive Status Epilepticus in a Cohort of Patients from a Peruvian Academic Hospital. (0 citations)
  • Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome Is the Common Cause of New-Onset Seizures in the Peripartum Period: A Tertiary Hospital-Based Study in South India. (0 citations)

Papers citation over time

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 Journal of epilepsy research (based on the number of publications) are:

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, 12.50% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 14.29% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 57.14% of all publications and 28.57% 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.

Submissions, Reviews, and Publication Times

In addition to the topics discussed in the journal, it is equally important to understand the submission, review, and publication process that contributes to the construction of the content in the Journal of epilepsy research. Providing transparency in this process allows for prospective contributors to understand what to expect upon submission of their research.

The Journal of epilepsy research maintains a rigorous peer review process to ensure the most accurate and effective results. The peer-review process involves critical analysis by specialists who deeply understand the topic of the research. Post-review, revisions may be required for the research to reach the standards of the journal.

On average, the initial review period for articles submitted to the Journal of epilepsy research is approximately 6 – 10 weeks. If revisions are necessary, this timeline may prolong. Following the acceptance of the paper, the production phase may take an additional 2 – 4 weeks. Overall, authors can expect a total timeline of up to 14 weeks or more from submission to final publication.

Understanding this process is critical for any individual or organization considering contributing their research to the Journal of epilepsy research. It is advised for potential authors and those interested in the journal's topics to become familiar with academic publishing norms and stipulations, such as the alaska slp license requirements, before submitting their own research for consideration.
