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, 17.60% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 15.53% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 12.62% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 4.85% of all publications and 66.99% 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.

Possible Future Research Trends

In the ever-evolving field of cancer research, the European Journal of Cancer Prevention does not only recount the past and present academic discourse but also gives clues to the future research trends. Analysing past scholarly contributions can shed light on possible trajectories the scientific community might take in the future. For example, given the sustained attention on colorectal cancer and breast cancer in the past years, it’s likely that these areas would remain under the researchers' radar. Particularly, implications for clinical practice could be a potential focus. Discoveries in these areas might lead to improvements in patient care, diagnosis methods, and treatment options. Advancements in technology indicate a possible shift towards research in bioinformatics and personalized medicine. Topics such as genetic data mining, predictive modelling, and molecular diagnostics might see a surge as they hold promising potential for early detection and targeted treatment in cancer. Further, while western countries dominate the publications, it would be interesting to see a rise in contributions from regions like Asia and Africa. The focus on diverse population samples can ensure that research findings are more inclusive and globally applicable. It is noteworthy that the journal has been promoting interdisciplinary research. The integration of oncology with areas such as endocrinology, epidemiology, and gastroenterology suggests a trend towards a holistic approach in cancer prevention. Moreover, considering the increasing importance of online education for medical professionals, it could be likely to see more research on the impact and efficacy of online nursing programs in Pennsylvania and other similar initiatives. It’s important to note that these predictions are based on past trends and the future of cancer research will largely be shaped by emerging scientific breakthroughs and global health needs. However, archaeological exploration of academic contributions like this can offer a guiding light to future scholars by pointing out patterns and potential future directions.
