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, 7.14% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 11.54% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.69% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 11.54% of all publications and 69.23% 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 Anatomical Sciences

The field of anatomical sciences offers a variety of career opportunities. From research roles in academic institutions to clinical positions in hospitals and healthcare settings, the potential pathways are broad and diversified. In fact, an understanding of anatomy is crucial in numerous healthcare and medical studies - from nursing and physical therapy to radiology and surgery. However, one of the most direct and high impact careers you can pursue with a background in Anatomical Sciences is becoming a licensed Pharmacist.

Pharmacists play a vital role in the healthcare system by providing patients with essential medications and ensuring their safe and effective use. An in-depth understanding of human anatomy and physiology is crucial to this role, as it allows pharmacists to understand the effects of drugs on the body, predict possible side effects, and advise patients accordingly. Becoming a licensed pharmacist requires a significant amount of training and education, including the completion of a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D) degree and passing several licensure examinations.

To learn more on how to kickstart a career as a pharmacist, especially in specific regions like Arkansas, you can refer to our comprehensive guide on how to become a pharmacist in Arkansas. This resource provides information about the educational and licensing requirements, expected salaries, job outlook, and other valuable details related to pharmaceutical careers in Arkansas.

While pursuing a career in health sciences, remember that journals like Anatomical Science International can serve as valuable sources of the latest research and developments in the field. They can enhance your knowledge base and make you a more informed and effective professional in your chosen field.
