Overview

Top Research Topics at Clinical Lung Cancer?

Clinical Lung Cancer primarily tackles Lung cancer, Internal medicine, Oncology, Chemotherapy and Surgery. Clinical Lung Cancer explores topics in Lung cancer which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Cancer, Adenocarcinoma, Cancer research and Radiation therapy. Topics in Adenocarcinoma were tackled in line with various other fields like Carcinoma, Pathology and Lung.

Clinical Lung Cancer focuses on Cancer research as well as the interrelated topic of Crizotinib. Internal medicine research discussed connects with the study of Gastroenterology. The research on Oncology tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Survival rate and Docetaxel.

Clinical Lung Cancer connects research in Chemotherapy with the related topic of Regimen. In the Surgery research discussed, Stage (cooking), Retrospective cohort study and Randomized controlled trial are all tackled. The concepts on Epidermal growth factor receptor presented in Clinical Lung Cancer can also apply to other research fields, including Tyrosine kinase and Tyrosine-kinase inhibitor.

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, 6.50% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 24.78% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 9.57% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.09% of all publications and 49.57% 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.

Clinical Approach to Lung Cancer treatment in Indiana

The management of lung cancer involves various treatment options and healthcare providers. One of the essential roles in undertreatment is played by nurse practitioners, who provide holistic care, education, and support to cancer patients. In different states, they have varying responsibilities based on location and specialty. For instance, Indiana is known for its top-notch nurse practitioner programs. Each program equips its students with the necessary skills to care for patients with lung cancer.
One highly recommended program for those interested in becoming a nurse practitioner with a specialty in oncology is listed at best nurse practitioner programs in Indiana. Here, you can find a comprehensive list of the best programs in the state. Nurse practitioners who graduated from these programs play a crucial role in Clinical Lung Cancer research by helping the healthcare team to implement research findings into the clinical setting.
The integration of research into the clinical setting is particularly crucial in improving the patient's quality of life, survival rate, and overall health outcomes. Indiana-based nurse practitioners work hard to ensure that lung cancer patients receive the best care based on the latest research findings.
