The scientific interests tackled in the journal are Surgery, Internal medicine, Cardiology, Anesthesia and Radiology. Aorta, Aortic valve, Complication, Cardiac surgery and Transplantation are some of the study areas of Surgery discussed. The in-depth study on Aorta also explores topics in the intersecting field of Aneurysm.
Heart transplantation and Lung transplantation are all aspects of Transplantation research featured in the journal. The journal aims to address concerns in Internal medicine, specifically in the areas of Coronary artery bypass surgery, Artery, Cardiopulmonary bypass, Mitral valve and Myocardial infarction. Ejection fraction, Aortic valve replacement, Heart disease, Ventricle and Stenosis are among the areas of Cardiology tackled.
Anesthesia study tackled is connected to the field of Ischemia. The journal explores topics in Radiology which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Lung cancer and Lung. The Lung cancer works featured in European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery incorporate elements from Respiratory disease and Cancer.
The journal publications mainly deal with areas of study such as Surgery, Internal medicine, Cardiology, Anesthesia and Cardiac surgery. The most cited publications address concerns in Surgery which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Lung cancer and Pneumonectomy. The journal papers explore topics in Anesthesia which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Thoracotomy, Prospective cohort study and Cardiothoracic surgery.
The main research concerns discussed in European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery are Surgery, Internal medicine, Cardiology, Aorta and Confidence interval. The journal focused on Surgery research but expanded to cover Aortic valve replacement. While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Internal medicine, it also covered topics in Gastroenterology and Oncology.
In the Cardiology research discussed, Ejection fraction, Tetralogy of Fallot, Pulmonary artery, Ventricular assist device and Atrial fibrillation are all tackled. Aorta, which encompasses Ascending aorta and Elephant trunks, is the main subject of the journal. In addition to Lung cancer research, it aims to explore topics under Stage (cooking) and Lymph node.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
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, 19.40% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 16.98% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.40% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.54% of all publications and 57.09% were from other institutions.
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.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
Based on the current trends and interests in the field, some potential future topics that the European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery may focus on include advancements in minimal invasive cardiac surgical procedures, the implementation and outcomes of robotic-assisted cardiothoracic surgery, and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in cardiac imaging and diagnosis.
Artificial Intelligence, specifically, has been gaining momentum in the field of cardiology. AI's role in advancing precision medicine, particularly in the areas of disease diagnosis, risk prediction, and management is a hot topic for research. It is highly likely that this journal may head in this direction in the future considering the growing interest in data science applications in medicine.
Another potential area of interest is cardio-oncology, exploring the crossroads of cardiac care and cancer treatments. With the improved survival rates in cancer patients, managing cardiovascular complications of cancer therapies has emerged as a new challenge. Studies discussing novel strategies for the early detection and treatment of cancer therapy-related cardiovascular dysfunction could be prospective topics.
Lastly, more focus on training programs and educational strategies in the field of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery may also be observed. An example of a high quality educational program is the np programs in texas. Their successful models and principles can potentially be adapted in the realm of Cardio-Thoracic surgery education.
However, these are speculative and the future topics will be primarily determined by the evolving needs and breakthroughs in the field of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery.
