The journal mainly tackles studies in Neuroscience, Anatomy, Somatosensory system, Physical medicine and rehabilitation and Stimulation. Receptive field, Cortex (anatomy), Sensory system, Motor cortex and Barrel cortex are some of the facets of Neuroscience tackled in Somatosensory and Motor Research. In the journal, Thalamus, Brainstem, Nucleus and Spinal cord are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Anatomy research.
Somatosensory system research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Stimulus (physiology) and Somatosensory evoked potential. The research on Stimulus (physiology) tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Audiology and Communication. It addresses concerns in Audiology which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Psychophysics and Perception.
Topics in Physical medicine and rehabilitation explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Stroke and Physical therapy. The journal explores research in Stimulation and the adjacent study of Anesthesia.
The most cited papers explore disciplines such as Neuroscience, Anatomy, Somatosensory system, Audiology and Communication. While the most cited publications focused on Anatomy, they were also able to explore topics like Thalamus, Whisking in animals, Brainstem, Cortex (anatomy) and Spinal cord. The published articles explore issues in Audiology which can be linked to other research areas like Anesthesia, Psychophysics, Perception, Developmental psychology and Sensory threshold.
The concepts of Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Physical therapy, Sensory system, Neuroscience and Balance (ability) are tackled in Somatosensory and Motor Research. The concepts on Physical medicine and rehabilitation presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Rehabilitation and Disease, Parkinson's disease. Somatosensory and Motor Research explores topics in Physical therapy which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Quality of life and Randomized controlled trial.
While Sensory system is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Somatosensory system, Shoulders, Healthy subjects and Etiology. The close relationship between Vestibular system and Orientation (geometry) is one of the points of interest dissected in Somatosensory system research. The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Neuroscience, apply to Receptor as well.
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 Somatosensory and Motor Research (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 Somatosensory and Motor Research (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, 7.41% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 10.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 22.00% of all publications and 58.00% 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.
A subsection on career opportunities related to Somatosensory and Motor Research could bring more depth to the article. This would provide information for readers who might be interested in pursuing a career related to the research topics discussed in the article. For individuals passionate about the intersection of neuroscience, anatomy, and rehabilitation, there are significant career opportunities in the field of somatosensory and motor research. Such roles offer the chance to contribute to groundbreaking research that can make a profound impact on patients' lives.
One such career path is that of a Speech-Language Pathologist. These professionals diagnose, prevent, and treat communication and swallowing disorders in patients, often resulting from strokes, brain injuries, or developmental delays. They may work in a range of settings like hospitals, schools, private practices, and research laboratories, contributing to the wider understanding within the field. If you're interested in this career path and are based in Nebraska, find out how to begin your journey in our in-depth guide on how to become a speech therapist in Nebraska.
Beyond this, roles in Physical Therapy, Anesthesia, and Psychophysics are deeply connected to the somatosensory system and could offer alternative career paths. As the field continues to evolve, so too will the opportunities for individuals keen on contributing to this crucial area of scientific research.
