Overview

Top Research Topics at Neuroendocrinology?

The primary areas of discussion in the journal are Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Hypothalamus, Prolactin and Hormone. Research on Internal medicine presented in the journal focuses, in particular, on Pituitary gland, Corticosterone, Vasopressin, Estrogen and Ovariectomized rat. The work tackled in Neuroendocrinology goes beyond the discipline of Pituitary gland as it also encompasses Endocrine gland.

Corticosterone and Glucocorticoid are closely related fields of research discussed in it. The Vasopressin study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Oxytocin. Topics in Endocrinology were tackled in line with various other fields like Neuropeptide and Receptor.

While it focused on Hypothalamus, it was also able to explore topics like Stimulation and Central nervous system. Secretion and Dopamine are some topics wherein Prolactin research discussed in the journal have an impact. It explores topics in Luteinizing hormone which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Estrous cycle and Gonadotropin.

  • Internal medicine (98.85%)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Cancer

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Neuroendocrinology mainly deals with areas of study such as Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neuroendocrine tumors, Gastroenterology and MEDLINE. The journal explores issues in Internal medicine which can be linked to other research areas like Cancer research and Oncology. The concepts on Oncology presented in Neuroendocrinology can also apply to other research fields, including Cancer, Primary tumor and Chemotherapy.

The study on Endocrinology presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Receptor. The journal focuses on Neuroendocrine tumors but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Somatostatin, Chromogranin A, Everolimus, Radiology and Univariate analysis. Some problems in Gastroenterology that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Hazard ratio, Multivariate analysis, Proportional hazards model and Temozolomide.

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, 49.65% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 16.90% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 12.68% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 23.94% of all publications and 46.48% 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 Educational Opportunities in the Field of Neuroendocrinology

Neuroendocrinology encompasses a diverse range of specializations putting researchers at the forefront of groundbreaking scientific discoveries. For those looking to expand their knowledge and contribute to this far-reaching field, various educational and training programs are available, including LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) programs specifically focusing on neuroendocrinology. These programs train medical personnel ready to support doctors and medical facilities in neuroendocrinology research and medical treatments. One such program can be found in Montana. The online LPN programs in Montana provide extensive courses in neuroendocrine disorders. The curriculum incorporates both theory and practical training, working under the direct supervision of experienced medical practitioners. This program offers an excellent starting point for those aspiring to specialize in neuroendocrinology. Discovering the secrets of the brain and its intricate hormone systems is a challenging and rewarding career path. These programs and others like them provide the necessary foundation for what will surely be a thrilling journey into the heart of human biology.
