Overview

Top Research Topics at Neurotoxicology?

Neurotoxicology was organized to reinforce research efforts on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neurotoxicity, Pharmacology and Neuroscience. Toxicity, Central nervous system, Glutamate receptor and Receptor are among the areas of Internal medicine tackled. The Toxicity research presented in it explores the relationship between Physiology and the closely related topic of Pregnancy.

Discussions in the journal are anchored in the subject of Endocrinology and the similar topic of Offspring. Neurotoxicology explores topics in Neurotoxicity which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Oxidative stress, Biochemistry and Cell biology. Topics in Oxidative stress were tackled in line with various other fields like Reactive oxygen species and Glutathione.

While the journal focused on Cell biology, it was also able to explore topics like Apoptosis and Programmed cell death. Pharmacology research is the primary subject tackled in Neurotoxicology with a focus on Neuroprotection. Neurotoxicology emphasizes research on Dopamine, which includes concerns such as Dopaminergic.

  • Internal medicine (29.44%)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Neurotoxicology:

The journal publications mainly tackle studies in Neurotoxicity, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neuroscience and Biochemistry. The journal papers explore research in Pregnancy and overlapping concepts in Cohort to expand the discourse in Internal medicine. The Endocrinology research tackled in the most cited papers is interrelated with Toxicity which concerns subjects like Physiology.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal primarily tackles Internal medicine, Oxidative stress, Neurotoxicity, Endocrinology and Pharmacology. Neurotoxicology holds forums on Internal medicine that merges themes from other disciplines such as Neurodevelopmental disorder and Carbon monoxide poisoning. The work on Neurotoxicity tackled in it brings together disciplines like Inflammation, Open field, Brain damage and Protein kinase A.

The study on Endocrinology presented in the journal intersects with subjects under the field of Long-term potentiation. Pharmacology research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Neuroinflammation, Dopamine, Toxicity and In vivo. Neuroprotection research in Neurotoxicology involves the investigation of Neurodegeneration studies, all of which are linked to disciplines such as Neuroscience.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Association between aluminum in drinking water and incident Alzheimer's disease in the Canadian Study of Health and Aging cohort. (9 citations)
  • Effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals on myelin development and diseases. (5 citations)
  • Association of arsenic exposure and cognitive impairment: A population-based cross-sectional study in China. (5 citations)

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 Neurotoxicology (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Michael Aschner (102 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Deborah A. Cory-Slechta (48 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Gary J. Myers (41 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Philip W. Davidson (39 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Donna Mergler (38 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 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 2021 edition, 2.40% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 9.02% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 4.10% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.11% of all publications and 73.77% 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.
