Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of The International Neuropsychological Society?

The journal aims to foster the development of research in Cognition, Neuropsychology, Audiology, Cognitive psychology and Clinical psychology. In addition to Cognition research, the journal aims to explore topics under Developmental psychology and Dementia. The Dementia research presented falls under the domain of Disease.

Some problems in Neuropsychology that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Cognitive skill, Executive functions and Traumatic brain injury. Research on Traumatic brain injury addressed in it frequently intersections with the field of Injury prevention. While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Audiology, it also covered topics in Recall, Verbal learning, Episodic memory, Temporal lobe and Neuroscience.

It facilitates discussions on Cognitive psychology that incorporate concepts from other fields like Semantic memory, Task (project management) and Perception. The Clinical psychology works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance and Depression (differential diagnoses).

  • Cognition (36.90%)
  • Neuropsychology (30.98%)
  • Audiology (22.53%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • What is cognitive reserve? Theory and research application of the reserve concept. (2478 citations)

Cognition, Clinical psychology, Neuropsychology, Audiology and Neurocognitive are the subjects of interest in Journal of The International Neuropsychological Society. The studies on Cognition discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Dementia and Cognitive decline. Clinical psychology research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Young adult, Verbal learning, Cannabis and Social cognition.

Neuropsychology research featured in Journal of The International Neuropsychological Society incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Test (assessment) and Cognitive skill. The work on Audiology tackled in Journal of The International Neuropsychological Society brings together disciplines like Digit symbol substitution test, Prospective cohort study, Memory impairment, Multiple sclerosis and Epilepsy. The study of Cognitive psychology and how it intertwines with concepts under Task (project management) were explored in the presented Neuropsychological assessment research.

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, 2.33% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 29.17% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.12% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.48% of all publications and 45.24% 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.

Further Career Opportunities in Neuropsychology

Another relevant aspect when discussing the research in the field of neuropsychology is understanding the career opportunities that this knowledge can lead to. Particularly, a career as a speech-language pathologist can be quite rewarding both in terms of professional achievements and societal impact. A speech pathologist works with both children and adults to diagnose, treat, and prevent communication and swallowing disorders. These disorders can result from various conditions, including stroke, brain injury, developmental delays, and hearing loss, among others. Skills in neuropsychology are key in developing effective treatment plans, making this career path an exciting application of the knowledge acquired through research in neuropsychology. Particularly, becoming a speech-language pathologist in the state of Wyoming presents a unique set of requirements and opportunities. For a detailed guide on how to become a speech pathologist in Wyoming, you can visit this page. This information highlights the fact that work in neuropsychology is not only academically stimulating but can also lead to diverse career opportunities, such as that of a speech pathologist. Therefore, partaking in this type of research can be a fulfilling path, not only for the intellectual challenge but also for the tangible impact you can have on people's lives.
