Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Vestibular Research-equilibrium & Orientation?

Journal of Vestibular Research-equilibrium & Orientation mainly deals with areas of study such as Vestibular system, Audiology, Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Reflex and Eye movement. Issues in Vestibular system were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Nystagmus, Balance (ability) and Anatomy. The journal links adjacent topics like Nystagmus with Optokinetic reflex.

The journal focuses on Anatomy research which is adjacent to topics in Otolith. Journal of Vestibular Research-equilibrium & Orientation focuses on Audiology but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Stimulus (physiology), Stimulation and Vertigo. More specifically, the research on Vertigo in Journal of Vestibular Research-equilibrium & Orientation is related to Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

Some problems in Physical medicine and rehabilitation that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Physical therapy and Sensory system. Research on Reflex addressed in the journal frequently intersections with the field of Vestibule. It deals with Eye movement in conjunction with Gaze and similar fields in Simulation.

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, 11.84% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 17.91% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 13.43% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.90% of all publications and 47.76% 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 Paths in Vestibular Research

While the journal focuses on numerous areas within vestibular research, it's important to mention the diverse career paths this field can offer. Vestibular research is not limited to academia and scholarly research alone. Many professionals specializing in this field are often employed in a variety of clinical roles such as audiology, physical therapy, and speech pathology.

For instance, a career as a speech pathologist in Montana could benefit greatly from exposure to research on vestibular system, as it broadens understanding of balance issues that could affect speech. Equipped with this expanded understanding, speech pathologists can devise appropriate treatment plans tailored to individual patient needs.

Thus by contributing to the Journal of Vestibular Research-Equilibrium & Orientation, professionals can not only stay abreast of advancements in vestibular research to improve their practice, but also potentially inspire and guide future professionals exploring this field.
