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, 7.24% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 15.60% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 2.36% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 8.27% of all publications and 73.76% 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.

Connectivity to Other Fields of Study

The wide spectrum of topics discussed in the Current Pharmaceutical Design journal represents a vast intersection with other fields of study, reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of pharmaceutical research. It serves to deepen the understanding of pertinent issues across the gamut of medicinal study and other related disciplines. For instance, many studies of pharmaceutical design exist in harmony with other scientific investigations such as chemical engineering, biochemistry, and even the rapidly evolving field of AI in healthcare.

Expanding more on intersectional research areas, it has been noticed that some of the methodologies and findings in pharmaceutical design have been significantly applicable and influential in the nursing field. To understand this relation better, one can delve into online resources like the best online nursing programs in Minnesota, which highlight how teachings and breakthroughs from a pharmaceutical research landscape can be beneficial in nursing education and practice. The synergy between these disciplines contributes to the overall progress in healthcare and medicine.

Conclusively, the continual dialogue between pharmaceutical design and other relevant fields brings to light novel pathways and possibilities towards healthcare solutions of the future. Thus, it is noteworthy for academia and industry experts to consider these intersections as they navigate through their research and professional practices.
