Top Research Topics at Endoscopic ultrasound?

The journal generally zeroes in on subjects such as Radiology, Endoscopic ultrasound, Surgery, Fine-needle aspiration and Text mining. Issues in Radiology were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Lesion, Malignancy and Pancreas. The studies in Endoscopic ultrasound featured incorporate elements of Pancreatic cancer, Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, Pancreatitis, Pathology and General surgery.

The study on Pancreatitis featured in it expounds on the topic of Pancreatic duct in particular. The General surgery study featured in the journal draws parallels with the field of Biliary drainage. Stent, Complication, Pancreatic pseudocyst, Endoscopy and Abdominal pain are all aspects of Surgery discussed in it.

The journal aims to bridge the gap between the study of Text mining and Internal 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, 18.48% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 37.33% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 13.33% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.00% of all publications and 29.33% 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.

Impact on Healthcare: Bridging Patient-Care and Research

This journal not only focuses on the aspects of current research but also attempts to bridge the gap towards enhanced patient-care in healthcare facilities. One such area includes the role of specialized nurse practitioners trained and experienced in the area of endoscopic ultrasound. These skilled healthcare providers are often the link between laboratories, clinical research, and patient bedside. Nurse practitioners specialising in endoscopic services play a crucial role in efficiently establishing a diagnosis, planning patient-care, and offering therapeutic interventions. Their training encompasses specific areas such as surgery, radiology, and pancreatic conditions, reflecting the key subjects of our journal. Their role is particularly significant in managing conditions like pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer - often demanding and requiring extensive care and complicated surgical interventions. With a comprehensive knowledge base and a direct role in patient-care, they make evidence-based decisions that are pivotal in improving patient outcomes. Are you considering a career in this challenging yet rewarding healthcare specialism? Consider checking out some of the leading {anchor}nurse practitioner programs in Utah for a rewarding career in this area. This research journal strongly advocates the need for a constant interchange of knowledge and research evidence between healthcare providers, clinicians, and patients. Understanding the role that each stakeholder plays in this spectrum aligns closely with our objective of improving healthcare delivery and outcomes.
