The journal articles facilitate discussions on Neuroscience that incorporate concepts from other fields like Magnetic resonance imaging and Frontotemporal dementia. Aside from discussions in Disease, the journal articles also deal with the subject of Pediatrics which intersects with Incidence (epidemiology) disciplines.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Surgery

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The primary areas of discussion in Seminars in Neurology are Review article, Intensive care medicine, Stroke, Disease and Internal medicine. Review article research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Rehabilitation, Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Myelopathy, MEDLINE and Etiology. Intensive care medicine research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Differential diagnosis, Encephalopathy, Intervention (counseling) and Patient population.

While work presented in it provided substantial information on Disease, it also covered topics in Quality of life, Physical function and Epilepsy. The presented studies in Clinical trial fall within the purview of Internal medicine but it also intertwines with topics in Vitamin E deficiency. In it, Spinal involvement and Age of onset are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Neuroscience research.

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, 5.17% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 63.64% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 14.55% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 7.27% of all publications and 14.55% 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 Opportunities in Neurology

Considering the broad and extensive research on various topics in neurology, the field offers a range of career opportunities for individuals interested in contributing to different facets of this discipline. One such notable profession is Speech-Language Pathologist, a role that requires comprehensive understanding and expertise in neurology due to the complexity of speech and language disorders that can arise from neurological issues.
