Overview

Top Research Topics at Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism?

The journal primarily tackles Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Thyroid, Diabetes mellitus and Gastroenterology. It aims to address concerns in Internal medicine, specifically in the areas of Body mass index, Insulin resistance, Obesity, Insulin and Thyroid cancer. While Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism focused on Body mass index, it was also able to explore topics like Cross-sectional study and Metabolic syndrome.

The journal is focused mainly on Obesity, particularly Overweight. In addition to Thyroid cancer research, it aims to explore topics under Thyroid carcinoma, Retrospective cohort study and Thyroidectomy. Topics like Hormone, Lipid profile, Adiponectin, Adipose tissue and Vitamin D and neurology are tackled as part of the discussions on Endocrinology.

Some problems in Thyroid that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Radiology, Nodule (medicine) and Pathology. Glycemic, Type 2 diabetes, Type 1 diabetes, Glycated hemoglobin and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus studies are all carried out as a component of the study in Diabetes mellitus presented. In the journal, researchers investigate the Thyroid nodules study as part of research in the field of Malignancy.

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, 14.81% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 55.07% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.70% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 10.14% of all publications and 26.09% 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.

Potential for Studies in Health Education

In considering the past and current research topics highlighted in the Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism, one area for future exploration stands out—health education. As the field continues to uncover valuable insights into metabolic diseases, these findings can then be translated into more effective preventative and intervention strategies in health education. This approach may lead to better health outcomes, especially in combating common health issues like obesity and diabetes. A particular focus could be on the education of healthcare professionals, such as Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), in metabolic diseases. As the first line of care in many healthcare environments, LPNs equipped with the latest findings in endocrinology and metabolism can administer and adjust care more effectively. Looking to obtain your LPN certification? Check out these top-notch lpn programs in Alaska. This comprehensive guide provides information about the best LPN programs, what to expect in terms of coursework, and how this knowledge can be put into practice to serve patients better. Overall, focusing on health education in this context can create a stronger link between research and practical application, ultimately contributing to improved patient care and health outcomes.
