Overview

Top Research Topics at Neuroepidemiology?

The aim of the journal is to expand the discussion of research in Epidemiology, Pediatrics, Stroke, Incidence (epidemiology) and Disease. In the journal, Cross-sectional study, Multiple sclerosis, Physical therapy and Gerontology are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Epidemiology research. The featured Gerontology studies mainly concentrate on Cohort study but also cover areas of interest in Cohort.

Surgery and Epilepsy are some topics wherein Pediatrics research discussed in Neuroepidemiology have an impact. Stroke research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Prospective cohort study, Intensive care medicine and Emergency medicine. Studies on Incidence (epidemiology) discussed in the journal link to the field of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

The Disease study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Psychiatry. The studies in Internal medicine featured incorporate elements of Oncology and Cardiology. The Dementia study featured in Neuroepidemiology draws parallels with the field of Cognition.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Neuroepidemiology:

The journal papers investigate studies in Epidemiology, Incidence (epidemiology), Gerontology, Stroke and Pediatrics. Multiple sclerosis, Physical therapy, Disease and Environmental health are some topics wherein Epidemiology research discussed in the journal articles has an impact. The journal papers focus on Gerontology but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Odds ratio, Cohort study, Cross-sectional study, Cognition and Dementia.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Cancer

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Epidemiology, Stroke, Internal medicine, Incidence (epidemiology) and Confidence interval are the subjects of interest in the journal. Some problems in Epidemiology that were presented in Neuroepidemiology overlapped with concepts under Mortality rate, Cohort study, Disease and Health care. Neuroepidemiology holds forums on Stroke that merges themes from other disciplines such as Diabetes mellitus, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and Emergency medicine.

The Internal medicine study featured in Neuroepidemiology draws connections with the study of Multiple sclerosis. Topics in Incidence (epidemiology) explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Myasthenia gravis, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Disease burden, Healthcare database and Pediatrics. The journal explores topics in Confidence interval which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Odds ratio and Cohort.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Surveillance Study of Acute Neurological Manifestations among 439 Egyptian Patients with COVID-19 in Assiut and Aswan University Hospitals. (7 citations)
  • Estimated Prevalence and Incidence of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and SOD1 and C9orf72 Genetic Variants. (3 citations)
  • The Prevalence of Mild Cognitive Impairment among Chinese People: A Meta-Analysis (3 citations)

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, 29.23% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 21.74% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.70% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.39% of all publications and 52.17% 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 Pathways in Neuroepidemiology

An often overlooked but pivotal field of science, Neuroepidemiology is a discipline that merges Neurology and Epidemiology to investigate the patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions in defined populations with neurological disorders. It is an essential field, with practitioners contributing to important research topics discussed in this article. One possible career path in this discipline is becoming a speech-language pathologist. A speech-language pathologist, or speech therapist, specializes in the evaluation and treatment of communication disorders and swallowing disorders. Their role becomes particularly crucial when dealing with patients with neurological impairments that affect speech and communication, often seen in conditions like stroke, dementia, or multiple sclerosis. Given the intricate nature of this profession, correct education and training become vital. If you're wondering about the steps it takes to join this profession, we've compiled an article on how to become a speech therapist in South Dakota. This guide provides information on the required education, certification, state-specific licensing requirements, and even potential job prospects in South Dakota. Given that the demand for speech therapists is on the rise, this could be a rewarding career option for those interested in Neuroepidemiology and aiding individuals in restoring their communication abilities. Whether you choose to become a speech therapist or pursue another professional path within the field of Neuroepidemiology, it's important to remember that this discipline plays a pivotal role in the research, diagnosis, and treatment of neurological disorders. Consequently, those who work in this domain can significantly contribute to improving patient care and outcomes.
