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, 100.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, nan% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another nan% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included nan% of all publications and nan% 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 for Graduates from Medical Assistant Programs

Graduates from medical assistant programs have a variety of career pathways they can follow. They can work in physician's offices, hospitals, outpatient clinics, and other healthcare facilities. Their work typically involves administrative tasks such as scheduling appointments, coding and filling out insurance forms, billing, and managing patient records. In addition, they perform clinical tasks entailing direct patient interactions like taking and recording vital signs, explaining treatment procedures to patients, administering medication, drawing blood, sterilizing medical instruments, etc. However, the career trajectory of a medical assistant graduate does not necessarily end there. With further training and education, they can specialize in different areas such as ophthalmology, optometry, and podiatry. Besides, they can move on to various roles like office managers, medical facility administrators, or educators. A good starting point for students wishing to pursue this career path is to enroll for well-structured, career-focused medical assistant programs. One viable option for such students is to consider enrolling in esteemed institutions in Hawaii, known for quality medical assistant programs. For a comprehensive list of these colleges and universities, you can check out medical assistant programs in Hawaii. This is a critical step towards paving a promising career in healthcare. Remember, the field of healthcare is continuously growing, and the demand for medical assistants is expected to increase in the coming years. Therefore, it is an excellent career option for those who aspire to work in healthcare but don't wish to spend several years in school. Your future in this profession lies greatly in the quality of education and training you receive, and that can be largely influenced by the school you choose to attend. Hence, make your decision wisely.
