Overview

Top Research Topics at Asaio Journal?

The journal focuses largely on the fields of Internal medicine, Cardiology, Surgery, Biomedical engineering and Anesthesia. The journal dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Internal medicine and Endocrinology. The journal features works in Cardiology, more specifically Circulatory system, Cardiac output, Ventricle and Pulsatile flow, and explores their relation to disciplines like In patient.

It tackles issues in Anesthesia, particularly in the topics of Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and Cardiopulmonary bypass. The work tackled in the journal goes beyond the discipline of Hemodialysis as it also encompasses Dialysis.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Cardiology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Asaio Journal investigates studies in Internal medicine, Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, Cardiology, Ventricular assist device and Anesthesia. Among the topics covered in the journal are Internal medicine and In patient. The Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation research presented in Asaio Journal also delves into studies in intersecting subjects like

  • Extracorporeal together with Life support,
  • Intensive care medicine which is related to area like MEDLINE..

Many of the studies tackled connect Cardiology with a similar field of study like Hazard ratio. Asaio Journal holds forums on Ventricular assist device that merges themes from other disciplines such as Dilated cardiomyopathy, Surgery, Implant and Heart transplantation. The concepts on Anesthesia presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Cannula, Renal replacement therapy, Refractory and Cohort.

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, 18.59% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 24.44% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 3.54% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.47% of all publications and 57.56% 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.

Emerging Specializations and Its Impact

Another section that the article could potentially benefit from is an analysis of emerging specializations in the field of medical research and their potential impact. This would provide readers with a forward-looking perspective, and could help prospective researchers to identify areas of interest or growth opportunities. For instance, the growing demand for specialized healthcare professionals could also be influencing the nature of research in the field. Take, for instance, the increasing need for nurse practitioners, particularly in states like Nebraska. Nurse practitioners are increasingly tasked with primary care delivery in the face of a shortage of primary care physicians. Therefore, it might also merit a separate analysis on whether this demand for nurse practitioners is being reflected in the research topics being explored in the Asaio Journal. In connection with this, you can visit nurse practitioner programs in Nebraska for more insights and understanding about this growing field. This underscores the importance of interdisciplinary approaches and the need for medical research to keep pace with—and anticipate—current and future demands in clinical practice. This could drive and shape the research topics found in Asaio journal and similar publications.
