Overview

Top Research Topics at Endoscopy?

Endoscopy facilitates discussions on Surgery, Radiology, Endoscopy, Internal medicine and Gastroenterology. The journal holds forums on Surgery that merges themes from other disciplines such as Colonoscopy and General surgery. The study on Radiology presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Text mining.

Endoscopy explores topics in Endoscopy which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Stomach, Endoscope, MEDLINE and Pathology. The work on Esophagus presented in Endoscopy focuses on Esophageal disease in particular.

  • Surgery (40.46%)
  • Radiology (21.04%)
  • Endoscopy (20.63%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) for esophageal achalasia. (1106 citations)
  • Endoscopic mucosal resection of flat and depressed types of early colorectal cancer. (668 citations)
  • An Endoscopic Recognition of the Atrophic Border and its Significance in Chronic Gastritis (651 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Endoscopy:

The journal papers investigate studies in Surgery, Endoscopy, Radiology, Internal medicine and Gastroenterology. The journal publications focus on Endoscopy but sometimes tackle the closely related topic of Colonoscopy which is concerned with Rectum and Sedation. The journal articles tackle studies in Biliary tract and the interrelated subject of Common bile duct to gain insights into Radiology.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Cancer

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal primarily focuses on research topics in Surgery, Radiology, MEDLINE, Endoscopic ultrasound and Endoscopy. Topics in Surgery were tackled in line with various other fields like Closure (topology) and Adverse effect. While work presented in Endoscopy provided substantial information on MEDLINE, it also covered topics in Text mining and General surgery.

Endoscopy tackles topics on Endoscopy, which can potentially contribute to the wider field of Internal medicine. The journal dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Stent and Lumen (anatomy).

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Artificial intelligence for polyp detection during colonoscopy: a systematic review and meta-analysis. (25 citations)
  • Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on gastrointestinal endoscopy in the Netherlands: analysis of a prospective endoscopy database. (21 citations)
  • Endoscopic diagnosis and management of nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage (NVUGIH): European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) Guideline - Update 2021. (17 citations)

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

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, 27.95% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 15.90% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.95% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.76% of all publications and 57.39% 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.

A Career in Medical Research: Exploring the Path Required to Become a Nurse Practitioner

For individuals who are intrigued by the medical research topics discussed in our journal and wish to contribute actively to such groundbreaking studies, a career in nursing can be a rewarding path. Particularly, aspiring to become a nurse practitioner could be an exceptional career move. Nurse practitioners are highly trained professionals who are responsible for patient care in a variety of medical specialties, potentially including gastroenterology, internal medicine, and surgery - key focus areas within our journal. Additionally, those with an affinity for medical research can explore these specialties through the lens of endoscopic procedures and studies. Nurse practitioners, with their extensive training and education, not only provide advanced care to patients but can also take up important roles in medical research studies. This allows such professionals to contribute to the body of knowledge circulated in publications like ours. But, how does one become a nurse practitioner? There are several essential steps to becoming a nurse practitioner. The path generally includes obtaining a Bachelor's degree in nursing or a related field, gaining practical experience as a registered nurse, and pursuing further education to earn a Master's or Doctoral degree in nursing. While these are standard steps, the specifics may differ based on region. If you're interested in learning more about how to become a nurse practitioner in your area, we recommend checking out this comprehensive guide on how to become a nurse practitioner in Maine. It provides in-depth information about the education, training, and licensing required to enter this rewarding and impactful career.
