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, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 83.33% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.67% of all publications and 0.00% 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.

Implications and Applications of Research Findings

An additional relevant section that seems to be missing is the 'Implications and Applications of Research Findings'. This section could offer readers better insight into how the research and studies conducted can be applied practically in various fields, including in the advancement of online nursing programs. Please see the drafted missing section below: **Implications and Applications of Research Findings** The findings from the research topics detailed above have a broad spectrum of applications. Their implications are not limited to improving healthcare practice or the development of new treatments. They also have an impact on the design and delivery of educational content, such as online nursing programs, which must evolve concurrently with ongoing research in order to equip future healthcare professionals with up-to-date knowledge and techniques. For instance, as research on heart failure and associated pathologies continues, it may necessitate a revision in how these topics are taught in online nursing programs in Tennessee. Such changes could ensure nursing students are prepared to deliver the most effective patient care based on the latest insights. Ultimately, the continuous integration of new research findings into both clinical practices and educational programs plays a crucial role in advancing the healthcare industry as a whole. Moreover, as echoed in the cited papers, Artificial Intelligence is becoming integral in the healthcare field, including cardiology and radiology. Therefore, incorporating lessons in technology and its applications in healthcare into nursing curriculums could better prepare future nurses for a technologically advanced healthcare environment. Continual learning and adaptation, driven by research, are therefore crucial for future-oriented professions like nursing. As research evolves, so must the platforms and methods of educational delivery, making the constant updating of online nursing programs imperative. This underscores the synergy between research, practice, and education and the necessity to align them all towards improving healthcare outcomes.
