Pediatric Neurosurgery tackles a plethora of topics, such as Surgery, Hydrocephalus, Pathology, Central nervous system disease and Radiology. The study on Surgery presented in the journal intersects with the topics under Anesthesia. Pediatric Neurosurgery features studies on Anesthesia, including topics such as Intracranial pressure.
In the journal, Shunting, Derivation and Cerebrospinal fluid are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Hydrocephalus research. The journal explores issues in Pathology which can be linked to other research areas like Glioma and Anatomy. Topics in Central nervous system disease were tackled in line with various other fields like Vascular disease and Spinal cord.
Radiology research is the primary subject tackled in the journal with a focus on Magnetic resonance imaging. El Niño research discussed in it aim to provide more information in the subject of Pediatrics.
The journal articles facilitate discussions on Surgery, Central nervous system disease, Hydrocephalus, El Niño and Pathology. The journal publications address concerns in Surgery which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Radiology and Pediatrics. The journal articles facilitate discussions on Central nervous system disease that incorporate concepts from other fields like Glioma, Magnetic resonance imaging, Vascular disease, Radiation therapy and Spinal cord.
Pediatric Neurosurgery primarily focuses on research topics in Surgery, Radiology, Lesion, Hydrocephalus and Pediatrics. Decompression, Neurosurgery, Head trauma, Perioperative and Craniosynostosis are some of the study areas of Surgery discussed. The concepts on Head trauma presented in Pediatric Neurosurgery can also apply to other research fields, including Glasgow Coma Scale and Skull fracture.
It focuses on Radiology but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Shunting and Orbit (anatomy). Sinus (anatomy), Ependymoma and Histopathology are some topics wherein Lesion research discussed in the journal have an impact. Hydrocephalus research presented in Pediatric Neurosurgery encompasses a variety of subjects, including Cerebrospinal fluid, Logistic regression, Risk factor and Ventriculomegaly.
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 Pediatric Neurosurgery (based on the number of publications) are:
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 top affiliations publishing in Pediatric Neurosurgery (based on the number of publications) are:
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.
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, 8.24% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.64% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.41% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.82% of all publications and 55.13% were from other institutions.
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.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
Pediatric neurosurgeons play a crucial role in the treatment of children with brain and spinal cord diseases. To become a pediatric neurosurgeon, one has to embark on extensive medical training and specialization. First, an aspiring pediatric neurosurgeon must obtain a Bachelor's degree from an accredited college with a strong emphasis on premedical courses like biology, chemistry, and physics. Upon completion, they must apply and be accepted to an accredited medical school to earn their doctor of medicine (M.D.) or doctor of osteopathy (D.O.). After medical school, a one-year general surgery internship is required followed by a neurosurgery residency that typically lasts 6 to 7 years. During residency, students become familiar with a variety of neurological diseases and disorders and the most effective surgical and treatment methods. Following the residency, those seeking to specialize in Pediatrics have to complete a Pediatric Neurosurgery Fellowship, providing them with in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience treating neurological conditions in children. Finally, prospective pediatric neurosurgeons must obtain a licensure and certification from the American Board of Neurological Surgery and/or the American Board of Pediatric Neurological Surgery. The requirements and processes for licensure can vary amongst states. For example, those interested in practicing in Pennsylvania can check out the pennsylvania slp license requirements to get a sense of how it works. In addition to their medical knowledge, successful pediatric neurosurgeons must be able to work well under pressure, possess impeccable manual dexterity, and have an innate ability to communicate effectively with children and their parents. Pride in one's work, continual learning, and a passion for improving the quality of life for children is crucial in this challenging, yet rewarding profession.
