Overview

Top Research Topics at Language, cognition and neuroscience?

Language, cognition and neuroscience mainly deals with areas of study such as Linguistics, Cognitive psychology, Artificial intelligence, Natural language processing and Speech recognition. Language, cognition and neuroscience dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Linguistics and Language production. The journal facilitates discussions on Cognitive psychology that incorporate concepts from other fields like Context (language use), Neuroscience of multilingualism, Comprehension, Cognition and Eye movement.

The journal investigates Comprehension research which frequently intersects with N400. Cognition study tackled is connected to the field of Cognitive science. The Artificial intelligence study featured in Language, cognition and neuroscience draws parallels with the field of Semantic memory.

While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Natural language processing, it also covered topics in Word (computer architecture), Lexical decision task and Priming (psychology). Issues in Speech recognition were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Speech perception and Perception. The journal emphasizes research on Sentence, which includes concerns such as Sentence processing.

  • Linguistics (35.16%)
  • Cognitive psychology (26.62%)
  • Artificial intelligence (20.76%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • What do we mean by prediction in language comprehension (426 citations)
  • A control process model of code-switching (159 citations)
  • The architecture of speech production and the role of the phoneme in speech processing. (114 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Language, cognition and neuroscience:

The journal papers investigate studies in Linguistics, Artificial intelligence, Natural language processing, Cognitive psychology and Speech recognition. The published articles facilitate discussions on Linguistics that incorporate concepts from other fields like Language production and Psycholinguistics. The journal articles explore issues in Cognitive psychology which can be linked to other research areas like Developmental psychology, Working memory, Cognition and Comprehension.

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

  • Linguistics
  • Cognition
  • Artificial intelligence

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The aim of the journal is to expand the discussion of research in Cognitive psychology, Linguistics, Comprehension, Sentence and Artificial intelligence. The research on Cognitive psychology featured in Language, cognition and neuroscience combines topics in other fields like Context (language use), Affect (psychology), Cognition, Event-related potential and Word (computer architecture). The work on Linguistics tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Lexical access and Structural priming, Priming (psychology).

Topics in Comprehension were tackled in line with various other fields like Domain (software engineering), Working memory, Control (linguistics) and Verb. The journal features Artificial intelligence research that overlaps with concepts in Natural language processing. Some problems in Natural language processing that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Utterance and Speech production.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Determinants of aphasia recovery: exploratory decision tree analysis (4 citations)
  • Leveraging big data to understand the interaction of task and language during monologic spoken discourse in speakers with and without aphasia (3 citations)
  • Direct impact of cognitive control on sentence processing and comprehension (3 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 Language, cognition and neuroscience (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Niels O. Schiller (11 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Martin J. Pickering (10 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Andrea E. Martin (8 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,

  • Herbert Schriefers (8 papers) absent at the last edition.

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 Language, cognition and neuroscience (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University College London (20 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 3 less than at the previous edition.

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.

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, 2.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 28.57% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.14% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.37% of all publications and 45.92% 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.
