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, 6.30% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 15.31% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.50% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 24.36% of all publications and 53.83% 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.

Requirements and Process for Publishing in the Neurosurgical Review Journal

Many of the scientists, researchers and academics that would be interested in these topics are likely to be interested in not only reading the articles published in this journal, but also in publishing their own research in it. Therefore, it would be beneficial to provide information on how to submit articles and the requirements for publication. To be able to publish research in this journal, authors must first ensure that their work is within the scope of the journal. This mostly covers topics like Neurosurgery, Surgery, Internal Medicine, Radiology, and Pathology. A systematic approach must be followed when conducting and structuring research in order for it to be considered for publication. The process usually starts by submitting a draft of the paper to the journal's editorial board. This generally involves a cover letter, the article manuscript, and any supporting data or graphics. The draft should strictly adhere to the writing instructions put forward by the journal. Once submitted, the manuscript then goes through a peer review process to verify its scientific reliability and relevance to the field. Additionally, authors who would like to continue their career path or expand their research in neuroscience might also consider acquiring a nursing license. For those in Massachusetts, here is a guide on the massachusetts nursing license requirements and cost. Despite the rigorous process, being accepted for publication in the Neurosurgical Review Journal is an excellent addition to an author's body of work and a testament to their contribution within the neurosurgical community. It is an invaluable avenue for disseminating and sharing top-quality, peer-reviewed research to drive progress within these interdisciplinary fields.
