Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Neuro-oncology?

The journal primarily tackles Pathology, Neurology, Internal medicine, Glioma and Surgery. While Pathology is the focus of Journal of Neuro-oncology, it also provided insights into the studies of Astrocytoma and Metastasis. It explores topics in Neurology which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Central nervous system disease, Radiosurgery, Magnetic resonance imaging, Radiology and Disease.

Magnetic resonance imaging and Nuclear medicine are closely related fields of research discussed in it. Journal of Neuro-oncology facilitates discussions on Internal medicine that incorporate concepts from other fields like Gastroenterology, Endocrinology and Oncology. While Journal of Neuro-oncology focused on Oncology, it was also able to explore topics like Cancer, Proportional hazards model and Glioblastoma.

The Glioma study featured falls within the wider field of Cancer research. In addition to Cancer research research, it aims to explore topics under Apoptosis and Cell growth. It concentrated on Surgery research, specifically Radiation therapy, Chemotherapy, Retrospective cohort study, Survival rate and Survival analysis.

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, 5.08% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 29.02% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 12.95% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.52% of all publications and 41.52% 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 Neuro-oncology

The expanding field of Neuro-oncology gives numerous career opportunities for those interested in cancer-related research concerning the nervous system. One key profession within this domain is a Speech-language Pathologist, whose role is especially significant in handling cases of brain tumors as they can significantly impact a patient's speech and language abilities.

Speech-language pathologists, also known as speech therapists, work with patients afflicted by diverse types of neurological complications, including gliomas and astrocytomas, conditions much discussed in the Journal of Neuro-oncology. Their fundamental duty involves diagnosing and treating speech and language issues instigated by medical situations related to the brain and nervous system.

If you're keen about contributing to the Neuro-oncology field and possess an inclination towards helping cancer patients with their communication abilities, a career as a speech-language pathologist may be worth considering.

For prospective aspirants based in Florida, getting started as a speech therapist begins with acquiring the right credentials and meeting specific licensing requirements mandated by the state. To learn more about how to become a speech therapist in Florida, follow this link.
