Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair

Top Research Topics at Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair?

Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair is mainly concerned with subjects like Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Physical therapy, Stroke, Rehabilitation and Randomized controlled trial. The work on Physical medicine and rehabilitation tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Hemiparesis and Spinal cord injury. Spinal cord injury research discussed connects with the study of Anesthesia.

Physical therapy research featured in Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Multiple sclerosis and Clinical trial. It holds forums on Stroke that merges themes from other disciplines such as Motor cortex, Transcranial magnetic stimulation and Neuroscience. It facilitated presentations on Neuroscience research, particularly Neuroplasticity and Functional magnetic resonance imaging.

The journal connects research in Rehabilitation with the related topic of Cognition.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair:

The journal publications are organized to reinforce research efforts on Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Physical therapy, Stroke, Rehabilitation and Randomized controlled trial. While Physical medicine and rehabilitation is the focus of the most cited papers, it also provides insights into the studies of Hemiparesis and Spinal cord injury. The published papers about Activities of daily living, Balance (ability) and Constraint-induced movement therapy under the umbrella field of Physical therapy overlap with concepts in In patient.

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

• Internal medicine
• Surgery
• Disease

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The aim of Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair is to expand the discussion of research in Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Stroke, Rehabilitation, Randomized controlled trial and Upper limb. In Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair, Cognition and Disease, Parkinson's disease are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Physical medicine and rehabilitation research. While work presented in Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair provided substantial information on Stroke, it also covered topics in Transcranial magnetic stimulation and Balance (ability).

The Rehabilitation study featured falls within the wider field of Physical therapy. Some problems in Randomized controlled trial that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Stimulation, Functional electrical stimulation and Sensory system. The Stroke survivor research presented in Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair explores the relationship between Magnetic resonance imaging and the closely related topic of Spinal cord injury.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Accuracy of the Upper Limb Prediction Algorithm PREP2 Applied 2 Weeks Poststroke: A Prospective Longitudinal Study: (5 citations)
• White Matter Integrity Predicts Electrical Stimulation (tDCS) and Language Therapy Effects in Primary Progressive Aphasia. (4 citations)
• Five Features to Look for in Early-Phase Clinical Intervention Studies: (4 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, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 34.44% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 3.33% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.89% of all publications and 43.33% 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 Paths in Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair

For readers interested in pursuing a career in Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair, there are several professional paths to explore. These include roles as a physical therapist, rehabilitation psychologist, occupational therapist, and speech-language pathologist, among others. In these roles, professionals work towards helping patients recover and improve their cognitive and physical abilities, enabling a higher quality of life post-injury or illness. For instance, a speech-language pathologist often works with patients who have suffered from stroke or spinal cord injury. These professionals help rehabilitate individuals' abilities to speak and swallow, significantly improving their daily lives. While the specific requirements to enter these professions can vary, they often require specific education, training, certification, and licensing. For instance, if you're interested in becoming a speech-language pathologist in Utah, consider checking out the utah slp license requirements.
