Overview

Top Research Topics at Blood Coagulation & Fibrinolysis?

Blood Coagulation & Fibrinolysis primarily tackles Internal medicine, Surgery, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology and Platelet. The study on Internal medicine presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Cardiology. The work tackled in the journal goes beyond the discipline of Surgery as it also encompasses Anesthesia.

It explores research in Endocrinology and the adjacent study of Von Willebrand factor. Most of the Gastroenterology studies addressed also intersect with Thrombophilia. The presented research on Platelet deals specifically with Pharmacology but it also addresses topics in Heparin.

Topics in Thrombosis explored in Blood Coagulation & Fibrinolysis were investigated in conjunction with research in Pulmonary embolism and Vascular disease. The Fibrinolysis works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Plasminogen activator and Tissue plasminogen activator. It dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Coagulation and Thrombin.

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, 19.13% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 9.68% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.53% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.20% of all publications and 65.59% 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 Applications and Future Direction of Research

An important section that is missing from this comprehensive exploration of Blood Coagulation & Fibrinolysis topics is a discussion of the potential applications and future direction of current and upcoming research, both within and beyond the specific fields the journal encompasses. This type of analysis would serve to broaden the scope of understanding and utility for both researchers and readers from various disciplinary backgrounds. For instance, findings from the journal's research on internal medicine, surgery, and endocrinology could have significant applications in the field of nursing. One such area could be online nursing programs, where studies from this journal could enhance the curriculum and provide students with a deeper understanding of coagulation and fibrinolysis. To illustrate, the applications of these research findings in online nursing programs could include an understanding of how the knowledge of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis can aid in critical care settings, specific surgical procedures, and the management of endocrine diseases related to blood disorders. Additionally, these topics can help in the continued development of nursing practices that are instrumental to patient care. Looking to the future, this research is expected to continue expanding, leading to new discoveries and evolving the way we understand and treat various diseases and conditions. Special attention should be given to collaborative and interdisciplinary research, which can yield more holistic and diverse results. For example, research in this journal could potentially contribute to the curriculum of online nursing programs in South Carolina. The incorporation of the latest research into educational programs would serve to enhance the expertise of future nurses and other health care professionals, thereby improving overall patient care. In conclusion, the potential applications and future direction of research in Blood Coagulation & Fibrinolysis span multiple fields and could prove invaluable to both medical professionals and patients alike.
