Acculturation, Health care, Environmental health, Family medicine and Mental health are some topics wherein Public health research discussed in it have an impact. Discussions in Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health are anchored in the subject of Health care and the similar topic of Nursing.
In addition to Mental health research, the journal aims to explore topics under Depression (differential diagnoses), Refugee and Clinical psychology. Issues in Immigration were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Health equity, Qualitative research and Social psychology. The journal explores issues in Demography which can be linked to other research areas like Logistic regression, Odds, Cross-sectional study, Young adult and Socioeconomic status.
Logistic regression study tackled is connected to the field of Odds ratio. Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health addresses concerns in Gerontology which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Psychological intervention, Overweight, Obesity, Social support and Focus group. The study on Obesity presented in the journal intersects with the topics under Body mass index.
The journal papers focus largely on the fields of Public health, Gerontology, Immigration, Acculturation and Demography. The most cited articles explore topics in Public health which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Health care, Family medicine, Refugee, Mental health and Ethnic group. The featured Demography studies in the journal publications mainly concentrate on Logistic regression but also cover areas of interest in Odds ratio.
Public health, Immigration, Demography, Health care and Ethnic group are among the topics commonly tackled in Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health. Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health facilitates discussions on Public health that incorporate concepts from other fields like Psychological intervention, Logistic regression, Family medicine, Refugee and Mental health. The work on Psychological intervention tackled in Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health brings together disciplines like Intervention (counseling) and Gerontology.
While work presented in it provided substantial information on Immigration, it also covered topics in Medical education, Social determinants of health, Legal status and Environmental health. The journal explores topics in Demography which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Foreign born, Odds, Health equity, Socioeconomic status and Community health. It focuses on Health care but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Nursing and Pandemic.
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 Immigrant and Minority Health (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 Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health (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, 1.62% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 24.69% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 12.76% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.81% of all publications and 47.74% 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.
Mental health is one of the significant perspectives of the research covered by the Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health. Within this context, it is to stress the importance of Licensed Counselling professionals. Licensed Professional Counsellors (LPCs) play a vital role in administering counselling services, particularly in sensitive sectors such as immigration and minority health. This is, for example, proved by their work in Virginia.
An LPC is a trained mental health professional who can work in a wide range of settings to provide therapy and counselling services to various patient groups. These professionals need to meet specific educational and clinical practice requirements, underlined by adequate certification, to provide counselling services legally. For instance, achieving an LPC license in Virginia constitutes a robust process that necessitates a master's degree in counselling, completion of supervised practice hours, and passing national and jurisprudence exams. This preparation ensures that LPCs have the specialized skills to mitigate the specific challenges associated with immigrant and minority health effectively.
Considering the role of LPCs in mental health for immigrants and minorities allows academic and professional audiences to contextualize the Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health works in a broader healthcare landscape. Understanding the professional process for becoming licensed in counselling could instigate further research or policy efforts aimed at improving mental health supports for these populations.
