Overview

Top Research Topics at Basic Research in Cardiology?

The main research concerns discussed in Basic Research in Cardiology are Internal medicine, Cardiology, Endocrinology, Ischemia and Gynecology. Basic Research in Cardiology focuses on Internal medicine research which is adjacent to topics in Anesthesia. The research on Cardiology tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Blood pressure and Heart rate.

Endocrinology research discussed connects with the study of Calcium. The Ischemia study featured in Basic Research in Cardiology draws parallels with the field of Pharmacology. Infarction is a major topic of Myocardial infarction research presented in the journal.

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The topics of Internal medicine, Cell biology, Myocardial infarction, Cardiology and Cardioprotection are the focal point of discussions in Basic Research in Cardiology. Basic Research in Cardiology focuses on Internal medicine as well as the interrelated topic of Endocrinology. The studies on Cell biology discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Chromatin, Actin cytoskeleton, Downregulation and upregulation and microRNA.

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, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 22.58% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 16.13% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 22.58% of all publications and 38.71% 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.

Benefits and Future Directions of Research in Cardiology

There is no doubt that the research conducted in these areas carries significant implications for the healthcare field. Continued studies in Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Endocrinology, Ischemia and Gynecology could potentially reduce heart-related deaths across the world. One exciting future direction worth exploring is the application of the findings to practical settings, specifically towards improving patient care in hospitals. In addition, the knowledge we gain from these studies could be valuable in enhancing medical education, particularly in LPN programs. For instance, nursing students in Minnesota could benefit greatly from understanding these advanced topics, considering the significant interlink between heart-related diseases and their respective field. It's also worth noting that insights from these research topics could encourage innovative thinking for students in LPN programs in Minnesota, thereby improving the quality of care eventually provided to patients. Overall, the potential benefits of this research are manifold, and future explorations in these areas are eagerly anticipated in the healthcare field.
