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, 4.40% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 24.14% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 13.79% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.82% of all publications and 44.25% 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 prospects in Cardiology Research

If you're inspired and considering a career in cardiology research, understanding the necessary steps to become a professional in the field is crucial. You can start your journey in the medical field by acquiring a nursing degree, registered nurse (RN) training or relevant healthcare qualifications. For example, you might want to consider pursuing a career as an RN. If you're based in Missouri, we have put together a comprehensive guide detailing how to become a registered nurse in Missouri online. This guide provides detailed information about the educational requirements, critical skills, licensing procedures, and potential career paths. After becoming an RN, you may want to specialize in cardiology. This typically involves advanced degrees and specialized training. You could consider working in intensive care units, heart clinics, or pursuing further studies to gain expertise in specific areas like internal medicine, heart failure, and disease. Whatever your career path, Continuous learning and development is integral in this field to maintain knowledge on the ongoing research topics like intensive care medicine, disease management, recent advancements in heart surgery and more. Stay proactive, follow leading publications like Current Cardiology Reports to keep yourself informed about latest researches and developments in cardiology.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

For those interested in Medicine in the USA, exploring related online degrees can open multiple career pathways in healthcare. Many students start with a nursing background through programs like the rn to bsn degree, which offers an affordable bridge to advance clinical skills and job prospects.

Additionally, some students seek programs that ease admission hurdles. Nursing schools offering a nursing program that doesn't require teas provide an accessible entry point without standardized entrance exams like TEAS or HESI.

For those aiming to step into administration, the cheapest mha programs online healthcare offer cost-effective routes to earn a Master’s in Healthcare Administration. This equips graduates to lead healthcare organizations confidently.

If a quicker entry into practical nursing appeals, an lpn accelerated program can fast-track licensure and clinical work, allowing professionals to gain hands-on experience rapidly.

Each of these pathways complements studying Medicine, expanding career options and supporting diverse goals in the healthcare field.
