Overview

Top Research Topics at Neuropsychology Review?

The concepts of Neuropsychology, Cognition, Neurology, Clinical psychology and Cognitive psychology are tackled in Neuropsychology Review. Topics in Neuropsychology were tackled in line with various other fields like Meta-analysis, Neurocognitive and Developmental psychology. Cognition research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Context (language use) and Dementia.

The majority of Dementia studies are focused on the issues of Cognitive decline. While work presented in Neuropsychology Review provided substantial information on Neurology, it also covered topics in Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Audiology, Disease, Depression (differential diagnoses) and Epilepsy. While Clinical psychology is the focus of Neuropsychology Review, it also provided insights into the studies of Psychological intervention and PsycINFO, MEDLINE.

It explores topics in Cognitive psychology which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Cognitive science, Semantic memory and Episodic memory. The journal is mostly focused on Psychiatry, specifically Traumatic brain injury. Research on Neuroscience presented in Neuropsychology Review focuses, in particular, on Neuroimaging, Brain mapping, Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Functional neuroimaging.

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal primarily tackles Neuropsychology, Meta-analysis, Cognition, Neurology and Clinical psychology. Some problems in Neuropsychology that were presented in Neuropsychology Review overlapped with concepts under Cognitive psychology, Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Working memory, PsycINFO and Traumatic brain injury. It focuses on Cognitive psychology but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Empirical research and Mistake.

Concepts in Gerontology, as well as related topics in Empirical evidence, are covered in the Cognition research presented in the journal. The journal holds forums on Neurology that merges themes from other disciplines such as Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance, Parkinson's disease, Internal medicine, Verbal memory and Neuropathology. The research on Clinical psychology featured in the journal combines topics in other fields like Psychological intervention, Insomnia, Social cognitive theory and Social cognition.

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, 0.00% 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 13.04% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 21.74% of all publications and 43.48% 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.

Career Prospects in Neuropsychology

While Neuropsychology review provides essential information on various research topics, it's relevance goes beyond academia and serves as a significant resource for those looking into a career in this field. Whether in Clinical psychology, Cognitive psychology or Neurocognitive studies, Neuropsychology offers a rewarding and challenging career path.

For instance, Neurology, a primary focus of Neuropsychology Review, serves as a foundation for careers like speech-language pathology. This profession involves diagnosing, assessing, treating, and preventing communication and swallowing disorders in children and adults. If you've ever wondered how to become a speech therapist in Nevada, it might interest you to know that a background in Neuropsychology can provide a firm scientific grounding for such a career path.

Furthermore, the integration of Audiology, Disease, and Physical medicine in the research topics discussed in Neuropsychology Review sheds light on its extensive applicability in therapeutic and rehabilitation professions. Therefore, Neuropsychology remains an instrumental field, offering numerous opportunities to those interested in Neuroscience and related disciplines.
