Overview

Top Research Topics at Neuroimmunology and Neuroinflammation?

Neuroimmunology and Neuroinflammation was organized to reinforce research efforts on Immunology, Internal medicine, Pathology, Multiple sclerosis and Antibody. Immunology research discussed connects with the study of Disease. It facilitates discussions in Cohort as part of the larger field of Internal medicine, however, it also tackles fields such as In patient.

The work on Pathology addressed in Neuroimmunology and Neuroinflammation expands to the thematically related Neuromyelitis optica. Natalizumab and Fingolimod are some of the facets of Multiple sclerosis tackled in Neuroimmunology and Neuroinflammation. Discussions in it are anchored in the subject of Antibody and the similar topic of Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein.

Encephalitis works presented in the journal have a specific focus on Autoimmune encephalitis.

  • Immunology (24.60%)
  • Internal medicine (24.52%)
  • Pathology (19.08%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • MOG cell-based assay detects non-MS patients with inflammatory neurologic disease (222 citations)
  • MOG antibody–positive, benign, unilateral, cerebral cortical encephalitis with epilepsy (205 citations)
  • Does MOG Ig-positive AQP4-seronegative opticospinal inflammatory disease justify a diagnosis of NMO spectrum disorder? (204 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Neuroimmunology and Neuroinflammation:

The journal papers investigate studies in Immunology, Internal medicine, Multiple sclerosis, Pathology and Antibody. The Immunology research presented in the most cited publications focuses mostly on Disease and, on occasion, topics in Immune system, Clinical trial and Immunotherapy. Issues in Pathology were discussed in the published articles, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Biomarker (medicine), White matter, Optic neuritis and Neuromyelitis optica.

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 Neuroimmunology and Neuroinflammation (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Josep Dalmau (52 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Lippincott Williams Wilkins (37 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Friedemann Paul (34 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Scott S. Zamvil (29 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Heinz Wiendl (21 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 Neuroimmunology and Neuroinflammation (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University of California, San Francisco (48 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Mayo Clinic (40 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Charité (38 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Barcelona (35 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Pennsylvania (26 papers) absent at the last 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 2022 edition, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 100.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 0.00% 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.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

For those studying Medicine in the USA, exploring related online degrees like nursing can open diverse career paths. Many students consider becoming a nurse practitioner, a role that combines clinical practice with advanced healthcare responsibilities. Understanding how long to become nurse practitioner is essential for planning your education timeline, as accelerated programs can shorten your journey.

For registered nurses aiming to advance their qualifications, enrolling in the fastest rn to bsn program online offers an efficient way to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), often required for higher-level positions.

Further, bridge programs such as asn to np provide a streamlined path for nurses holding an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) to pursue a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and specialize as nurse practitioners.

Compensation is also a key consideration; the pmhnp salary varies by location but generally reflects the advanced expertise and responsibilities of psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners, making this specialization attractive for healthcare professionals.
