Top Research Topics at Neuroforum?

Neuroforum was organized to reinforce research efforts on Neuroscience, Cognitive science, Cell biology, Magnetoreception and Hippocampus. It explores issues in Neuroscience which can be linked to other research areas like Long-term potentiation and Neurodegeneration.

  • Neuroscience (31.12%)
  • Cognitive science (8.16%)
  • Cell biology (4.08%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Long-term potentiation in the hippocampus: discovery, mechanisms and function (35 citations)
  • Psychological and neuroscientific advances to understand Internet Use Disorder (12 citations)
  • Learning to navigate – how desert ants calibrate their compass systems (12 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Neuroforum:

The most cited publications investigate studies in Neuroscience, Cognitive science, Knowledge management, Research data and Internet use. The published articles connects the study in Neuroscience with the closely related areas of Disease. While the journal papers primarily focused on Cognitive science, they also opened dialogues on the discipline of Clinical neuroscience.

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron
  • Internal medicine

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The foci of Neuroforum are Neuroscience, Magnetoreception, Knowledge management, Research data and Retinal. The studies in Neuroscience featured incorporate elements of Cancer and Glioblastoma. Neuroforum aims to bridge the gap between the study of Magnetoreception and research in different fields like Cryptochrome, Cognitive science, Trigeminal system, Animal navigation and Fish <Actinopterygii>.

Aside from Knowledge management, Neuroforum also covered works in the field of Data management. Among the topics covered in Neuroforum are Research data and Clinical neuroscience. Aside from research in Retinal, it also discusses topics such as Optometry, Artificial vision and Group (mathematics).

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, 4.17% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 65.22% 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 8.70% of all publications and 17.39% 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 prospects in Cognitive Science and Neuroscience fields

The fields of cognitive science and neuroscience offer varied career opportunities including different roles like research scientists, professors, neuropsychologists, and speech-language pathologists among others. Specifically, becoming a speech-language pathologist can be an exciting and rewarding career prospect for those interested in the intersection of language, cognition, and neuroscience.

This specialized role involves the study, diagnosis, and treatment of communication disorders including difficulties with speech, language, and swallowing. Pathologists often work closely with patients who have neurological disorders or disabilities, making a strong background in cognitive science and neurology a beneficial asset.

Aspiring speech-language pathologists often need a master's degree in the field, followed by licensure and certification. This career path requires a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical experience, honing skills crucial in patient interaction, problem-solving, and research. Specific requirements can vary by location. For instance, those interested in finding out more on how to be a speech therapist in Tennessee can refer to the comprehensive guide on our website.

Besides this, career prospects in cognitive science and neuroscience research are also vast. Given the commendable work done by journals like Neuroforum in improving our understanding of different research areas like cell biology, cognitive science, and neurodegeneration, researchers can contribute significantly towards scientific advancements.

Choosing a line of work is an individual decision and should be taken after careful thought and planning. Regardless of the choice made, working in cognitive science and neuroscience fields can lead to a fulfilling career that allows individuals to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others.
