What are the Most Respected Journals in Medical Research Fields?

[Fra]

I apologize for this simple question, but maybe some of you dedicates medical experts can give me a quick answer to this? I think this is the right section.

What scientific journals, among international top-3 or so would you think a researcher would rather get published in these fields?

- (Heart)surgery

- Anasthesia

- Medicin (focus on the heart/blood)?

- Neuroscience? pain/stress responses and behavioural brain neuroscience learning disorders

The reason I ask is that I am not that familiar with these journals and I am assembling a reference list to produce an argument for the reputation of a measurement system. The question is which references from what journals of that system that would generally be considered having most status?

Nature and Science publish the most high profile results in these fields. For neuroscience, (my field) other very well respected journals, roughly in order from more prestige to less, are:

Neuron
Nature Neuroscience
Journal of Neurophysiology

I understand your need for reliable and reputable sources for your argument. In the fields of medical research, there are several highly respected journals that are considered top-tier in their respective areas of expertise. Some examples include:

1. The Lancet - This internationally renowned journal covers a wide range of medical specialties, including cardiology, anesthesiology, and neuroscience.

2. The New England Journal of Medicine - This prestigious journal publishes original research and review articles in all areas of medicine, including surgery and anesthesia.

3. Circulation - This journal is specifically focused on cardiovascular medicine and publishes cutting-edge research in the field.

4. Anesthesiology - As the official journal of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, this publication is a leading source of new developments in anesthesia and perioperative medicine.

5. Journal of Neuroscience - This highly respected journal covers all aspects of neuroscience, including pain and stress responses, as well as learning disorders.

In general, researchers in the fields of heart surgery, anesthesia, and neuroscience would likely prefer to publish their work in one of these top-tier journals. However, it is important to note that the reputation and impact of a journal can also vary within a specific field, so it is always best to consult with experts in your specific area of research for their recommendations.
