Overview

Top Research Topics at EJNMMI Physics?

The journal focuses largely on the fields of Nuclear medicine, Imaging phantom, Positron emission tomography, Correction for attenuation and Dosimetry. While it focused on Nuclear medicine, it was also able to explore topics like Detector, Optics and Scanner. The featured Detector research zeroes in on concepts in Silicon photomultiplier and Lyso- but also tackles themes under Sensitivity (control systems).

Image resolution, Iterative reconstruction, Computer vision, Monte Carlo method and Biomedical engineering are some topics wherein Imaging phantom research discussed in it have an impact. It dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Image resolution and Resolution (electron density). Iterative reconstruction research discussed connects with the study of Algorithm.

The journal links adjacent topics like Positron emission tomography with Magnetic resonance imaging. It tackles studies in Artificial intelligence and the interrelated subject of Data mining to gain insights into Correction for attenuation. Most of the works presented in it deals with Dosimetry but it intersects with the subject of Radionuclide therapy.

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, 2.99% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 23.08% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 9.23% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.85% of all publications and 53.85% 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 Pathways for Researchers in Nuclear Medicine

A significant omission from the article is a section that provides information on what career paths are available for those who are interested in the fields of research the journal covers, as this could offer valuable context for prospective researchers. Here's a draft for that section: After diving deep into these complex research areas, you might be wondering about the potential career prospects in the fields of Nuclear medicine, Imaging phantom, and Positron emission tomography. A dominant career path for individuals with expertise in these fields is to become a Nuclear Medicine Technologist or a Medical Physicist. However, another exciting pathway is to become a Nurse Practitioner specializing in Nuclear medicine.

A Nurse Practitioner in Nuclear medicine works side by side with Nuclear Medicine Technologists and Medical Physicists, combining the caregiving facets of nursing with the technical aspects of nuclear medicine. They play a pivotal role in interpreting and implementing the results derived from the experiments and studies published in scholarly journals such as EJNMMI Physics.

The journey to becoming a Nurse Practitioner in Nuclear medicine commences with obtaining a bachelor's degree in nursing or a related field. After gaining nursing licensure, gaining a few years of experience, and achieving a master's degree or doctoral degree, one can specialize in the field of nuclear medicine. Several esteemed universities offer specialized programs in this area.
