Overview

Top Research Topics at Endocrine Pathology?

Endocrine Pathology mainly deals with areas of study such as Pathology, Thyroid, Internal medicine, Immunohistochemistry and Endocrinology. Research on Pathology addressed in it frequently intersections with the field of Thyroid carcinoma. Endocrine Pathology addresses concerns in the field of Thyroid carcinoma by exploring it in line with topics in Cancer research which intersect with Mutation subjects.

It explores topics in Thyroid which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Malignancy and Radiology. It holds forums on Internal medicine that merges themes from other disciplines such as Gastroenterology and Oncology. The Immunohistochemistry works featured in it incorporate elements from Pheochromocytoma, Staining and Endocrine system.

Endocrine Pathology investigates Endocrinology research which frequently intersects with In situ hybridization. Pituitary adenoma research featured in Endocrine Pathology incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Acromegaly and Pituitary tumors. The study on Adenoma presented in the journal intersects with the topics under Pituitary neoplasm.

The main research concerns discussed in the journal are Pathology, Neuroendocrine tumors, Cancer research, Internal medicine and Thyroid carcinoma. Pathology studies presented in the journal focus on topics such as Immunohistochemistry, Carcinoma, Chromogranin A, Synaptophysin and Paraganglioma. While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Immunohistochemistry, it also covered topics in Pheochromocytoma and Cellular differentiation.

While it focused on Internal medicine, it was also able to explore topics like Gastroenterology and Oncology. The Thyroid carcinoma study featured falls within the wider field of Thyroid. The subject of Malignancy, which is connected to the field of Fine-needle aspiration, serves as the foundation of the Thyroid research featured in the journal.

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, 6.25% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 48.89% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.11% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 24.44% of all publications and 15.56% 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 in Endocrine Pathology

A career in Endocrine Pathology requires extensive study and training. More often than not, this usually involves obtaining a degree in medicine, followed by specialized training in pathology and further sub-specialization in endocrine pathology. The career pathway can be diverse and rewarding, with opportunities in research, diagnostics, and academia.

Often, one might wonder about additional career pathways in healthcare that could complement an endocrine pathologist's role. One such pathway is that of a nurse practitioner, who can play a crucial role in managing patients with endocrine conditions alongside an endocrine pathologist. If you are in West Virginia and looking at options to become a nurse practitioner, we have a detailed guide on this. Check out our guide on how to be a nurse practitioner in West Virginia.

Beyond being a complementing role, pursuing a career as a nurse practitioner opens up opportunities for patient interactions, patient education, and a chance to play a more direct role in patient care.

If you are a researcher in endocrine pathology and are keen on diversifying your career or want to explore roles where you can have a direct impact on patient care, considering nursing pathways might be an interesting choice for you.
