Current Opinion in Allergy and Clinical Immunology tackles a plethora of topics, such as Immunology, Asthma, Intensive care medicine, Allergy and MEDLINE. It explores research in Immunology and the adjacent study of Disease. The work on Asthma tackled in it brings together disciplines like Epidemiology, Pediatrics and Environmental health.

The concepts on Intensive care medicine presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Physical therapy, Clinical trial and Anaphylaxis. It features Allergy research that overlaps with concepts in Dermatology. Current Opinion in Allergy and Clinical Immunology is focused mainly on Dermatology, particularly Atopic dermatitis.

Current Opinion in Allergy and Clinical Immunology focused on MEDLINE research but expanded to cover Family medicine. It focuses on Immunotherapy but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Allergen and Desensitization (medicine).

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, 14.81% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 20.29% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.59% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.94% of all publications and 52.17% 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.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

For students considering Medicine in the USA, several related online degrees offer flexible routes into healthcare careers. An online healthcare mba is an attractive option for those interested in leadership roles within medical institutions. It combines business skills with healthcare knowledge, preparing graduates for management positions without the need to leave their current jobs.

For non-nurses looking to enter nursing quickly, online bsn programs for non nurses provide an accelerated pathway to becoming a registered nurse. These programs save time and allow career changers to enter the nursing field efficiently, often opening doors to advanced practice roles.

One such advanced role is that of a Nurse Practitioner (NP), a career known for competitive compensation. Understanding the psychiatric np salary by state can help candidates evaluate job prospects and choose locations that offer the best financial rewards.

For those eager to become an NP, knowing how to become a np in the shortest possible time is crucial. This includes selecting the right degree program and understanding licensing requirements, which can vary by state and specialty.
