Overview

Top Research Topics at Neuropsychobiology?

Neuropsychobiology mainly tackles studies in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Psychiatry, Neuroscience and Schizophrenia. While Neuropsychobiology focused on Internal medicine, it was also able to explore topics like Bipolar disorder and Depression (differential diagnoses). It explores topics in Endocrinology which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Receptor and Pharmacology.

The Anxiety studies presented in the journal fall under the field of Psychiatry, but it also has connections to other fields such as Injury prevention. Specifically, studies on Electroencephalography are prevalent in the Neuroscience works discussed. Neuropsychobiology addresses concerns in Electroencephalography which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Anesthesia, Electrophysiology, Vigilance (psychology) and Audiology.

The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Anesthesia, apply to Placebo as well. Neuropsychobiology focuses on Audiology but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Developmental psychology and Cognition. Many of the studies tackled connect Schizophrenia with a similar field of study like Psychosis.

Neuropsychobiology primarily tackles Internal medicine, Schizophrenia, Cognition, Endocrinology and Anxiety. The concepts on Internal medicine presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Major depressive disorder, Bipolar disorder and Oncology. The journal holds forums on Schizophrenia that merges themes from other disciplines such as Slow-wave sleep, Psychosis, Hippocampal formation, Genotyping and Default mode network.

Cognition research in Neuropsychobiology involves the investigation of Clinical psychology studies, all of which are linked to disciplines such as Neuropsychology, Hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and Temperament. In the journal, STAT protein, Opioid and Serotonin are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Endocrinology research. Neuropsychobiology explores issues in Anxiety which can be linked to other research areas like Psychotherapist, Randomized controlled trial and Psychological intervention.

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, 6.90% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 9.26% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.56% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.96% of all publications and 72.22% 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 Opportunities in Neuropsychobiology

Neuropsychobiology presents a lot of great career opportunities for interested and skilled individuals. One of the potential career paths is becoming a Speech Language Therapist. As speech therapy is related to cognition, one of the focus areas of Neuropsychobiology research, this career would offer the chance to apply and further develop understandings in this field. A speech Language Therapist helps individuals who have difficulties with communication, cognition, voice, swallowing, and fluency.

Job responsibilities may include diagnosing and treating, developing, and implementing an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or a family service plan (FSP). These professionals often work in healthcare facilities, schools, patients' homes, or they have their own private practice.

To become a speech therapist in Hawaii, specific educational and certification requirements must be met. If you're interested, read on how to be a speech therapist in Hawaii.
