Research areas of the most cited articles at European Journal of Internal Medicine:

The journal publications focus on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Disease, Intensive care medicine and Surgery. While work presented in the most cited publications provide substantial information on Internal medicine, it also covers topics in Gastroenterology, Diabetes mellitus and Cardiology. The journal publications address concerns in Intensive care medicine which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Epidemiology, Incidence (epidemiology) and Emergency medicine.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Surgery

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

European Journal of Internal Medicine explores disciplines such as Internal medicine, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), MEDLINE, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and Cardiology. The work tackled in it goes beyond the discipline of Internal medicine as it also encompasses Gastroenterology. The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Virology.

The journal features MEDLINE research that overlaps with concepts in Intensive care medicine. The subject of 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak, which is connected to the field of Vaccination, serves as the foundation of the Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) research featured in European Journal of Internal Medicine. Cardiology research is the primary subject tackled in European Journal of Internal Medicine with a focus on Myocardial infarction.

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, 15.45% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 17.24% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.38% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 22.76% of all publications and 48.62% 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.

Contributing Nursing Institutes

One missing element in the article is mention or acknowledgement of institutions that are producing valuable research work. A feature that readers might find interesting is an examination of the nursing schools that have contributed research papers to the European Journal of Internal Medicine. Did you know that many accredited nursing schools are also active in research work? Schools like those found here in the best nursing schools in Utah produce a wealth of papers on cardiology, diabetes, endocrinology and more. Whether it's at the bachelors or masters level, these schools produce quality nurses who are thoroughly trained, helping them better serve their patients and contribute to their respective disciplines. Visiting nursing schools' websites often provides insights into what research they do. They may also offer published findings for wider audiences in addition to their contributions to journals like the European Journal of Internal Medicine. These contributions from the nursing field expand our understanding of these key medical areas and can provide critical developments in treatments and patient care. Further inclusion of school rankings and other data may illustrate the connection between top-tier education and impactful research. The next time you read a research article, be sure to check out the author's affiliations - you might just find they hail from one of these top nursing institutions.
