Overview

Top Research Topics at Calcified Tissue International?

The aim of Calcified Tissue International is to expand the discussion of research in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Osteoporosis, Bone mineral and Calcium. Presentations on Internal medicine include those discussing Bone remodeling, Bone resorption, Parathyroid hormone, Bone density and Vitamin D and neurology. The journal focused on Bone resorption research but expanded to cover Osteoclast.

The research on Endocrinology featured in the journal combines topics in other fields like Osteocalcin, Alkaline phosphatase, Calcium metabolism and Osteoblast. While the journal focused on Osteoporosis, it was also able to explore topics like Orthopedic surgery and Physical therapy. Issues in Orthopedic surgery were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Dentistry and Anatomy.

Cortical bone is a major topic of Anatomy research. While Bone mineral is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Femur, Nuclear medicine and Femoral neck. The journal facilitates discussions on Calcium that incorporate concepts from other fields like Biochemistry and Phosphate.

  • Internal medicine (45.55%)
  • Endocrinology (41.08%)
  • Osteoporosis (18.67%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

Calcified Tissue International focuses largely on the fields of Internal medicine, Osteoporosis, Orthopedic surgery, Endocrinology and Bone mineral. The close relationship between Gastroenterology and vitamin D deficiency is one of the points of interest dissected in Internal medicine research. The study of Vitamin D and neurology and how it intertwines with concepts under Secondary hyperparathyroidism were explored in the presented Osteoporosis research.

The journal deals with Orthopedic surgery in conjunction with Hip fracture and similar fields in FRAX. The tackled Endocrinology research is interrelated with Osteoblast which concerns subjects like Osteoclast. The journal holds forums on Bone mineral that merges themes from other disciplines such as Bone mass, Bone density, Lumbar spine and Obesity.

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, 2.82% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 13.95% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.56% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 11.05% of all publications and 67.44% 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 in Medical Research

While being intrigued by the different research areas in calcified tissue, one might also be interested in embarking on a meaningful career in medical research. Transformational change in medical science often comes from those who are devoted to unraveling mysteries of the human body, like nurse practitioners.

As a nurse practitioner, you would be the driving force behind critical tasks such as developing patient care plans, performing advanced medical procedures, and interpreting patients' diagnostic tests. State requirements vary, but in general, you would need a Master's Degree in Nursing (MSN) or a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) to become a nurse practitioner.

Given the profound shift towards value-based care, the role of a nurse practitioner has never been more important. Modern healthcare relies heavily on these professionals for their holistic approach, combining disease prevention, health promotion, and patient education.

If you have been inspired by the work done at Calcified Tissue International, and you're thinking about pursuing a career in healthcare, you can start by becoming a nurse practitioner. Read our guide on how to be a nurse practitioner in Nebraska and take your first step into a rewarding career that combines clinical practice with continuing research. Together, we can make a difference in the future of healthcare.
