Overview

Top Research Topics at European Journal of Preventive Cardiology?

European Journal of Preventive Cardiology investigates studies in Internal medicine, Cardiology, Physical therapy, MEDLINE and Disease. The Myocardial infarction, Heart failure and Coronary artery disease studies presented in it fall under the field of Internal medicine, but it also has connections to other fields such as In patient. Topics in Cardiology were tackled in line with various other fields like Diabetes mellitus and Blood pressure, Heart rate.

Some problems in Physical therapy that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Randomized controlled trial and Quality of life. Issues in MEDLINE were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Text mining and Intensive care medicine.

  • Internal medicine (48.49%)
  • Cardiology (31.75%)

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, 21.30% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 17.72% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.44% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.92% of all publications and 57.91% 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.

Relation to Other Relevant Research Fields

The European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, while primarily catered towards cardiovascular study, also intersects with multiple other relevant fields. This collaborative approach enables the publication to address multifaceted health issues that require inter-disciplinary perspectives. For instance, many topics in cardiology often have correlations with fields of nursing practice. In fact, many nurses, especially those specializing in cardiovascular nursing, frequently refer to our journals for updated research in their field. An example can be seen in the case of heart failure management, where nursing interventions significantly contribute to patients' quality of life. For individuals interested in both cardiology and nursing, there are numerous accredited institutions that offer comprehensive courses. The best nursing schools in South Carolina, for instance, provide rigorous academic programs that balance theoretical study with practical experience. This collaborative approach among different fields bolsters our understanding of complex diseases and their comprehensive care. The European Journal of Preventive Cardiology continues to encourage inter-disciplinary research to push the boundaries of our knowledge and improve the quality of patient care.
