Overview

Top Research Topics at Blood Reviews?

Blood Reviews investigates areas of study like Immunology, Internal medicine, Disease, Intensive care medicine and Oncology. Immunology research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Stem cell and Transplantation. It is focused mainly on Stem cell, particularly Haematopoiesis.

The work on Internal medicine tackled in it brings together disciplines like Gastroenterology and Surgery. Intensive care medicine and Thrombosis are closely related fields of research discussed in it. Leukemia, Myeloid leukemia and Lymphoma are some topics wherein Oncology research discussed in the journal have an impact.

Blood Reviews connects the study in Leukemia with the closely related area of Myeloid. Blood Reviews focused on Myeloid leukemia research conducted under the discipline of Cancer research.

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, 4.72% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 29.70% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 14.85% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.86% of all publications and 41.58% 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.

Professional Pathways in Hematology Research

While exploring hematology research and diagnosis in depth, a natural question that arises for both students and professionals is about potential career pathways and educational opportunities in the field. You might be wondering what the trajectory looks like for an aspiring research professional in hematology. Often, these paths involve complementing fields such as nurse practitioner programs. In the United States, studying in nurse practitioner programs with a focus on hematology and oncology can provide aspiring professionals with specialized knowledge and skills to contribute significantly to the field. For those in the vicinity of Rhode Island, a list of the top nurse practitioner programs in the state can be found here. However, keep in mind that this is just one of the many professional pathways in hematology research. Depending on their specific areas of interest, professionals could also venture into research positions in biotechnology companies, leadership roles in hematology organizations, or become educators in the field. Regardless of the path chosen, dedication to continuous learning and research is paramount in driving advancement in the field of hematology.
