Overview

Top Research Topics at European Journal of Radiology?

The journal is organized to address concerns in the fields of Radiology, Nuclear medicine, Magnetic resonance imaging, Surgery and Pathology. European Journal of Radiology concentrated on Radiology research, specifically Angiography, Ultrasound, Tomography, Radiography and Computed tomography. In the journal, Image quality, Effective diffusion coefficient, Diffusion MRI and Receiver operating characteristic are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Nuclear medicine research.

Some problems in Magnetic resonance imaging that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Lesion and Internal medicine. Internal medicine and Oncology are closely related fields of research discussed in the journal. More specifically, the research on Surgery in it is related to Percutaneous.

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, 6.05% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 21.67% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.73% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.67% of all publications and 54.94% 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.

Overview of Journal Impact Factor and Ranking

A section that focuses on the Journal's impact factor and ranking in comparison to other journals in the same field could add depth to the article. Potential readers and contributors can use this information to gauge the journal's reputation and influence within the radiology discipline. The European Journal of Radiology's impact factor represents the frequency its articles were cited in other academic papers over a certain period. It offers a measure of the journal’s influence within radiology and related fields. Periodically, the impact factor is calculated by dividing the number of current year citations by the total number of published articles during the past two years. Undeniably, the impact factor might not be entirely representative of a journal's intrinsic quality as certain topics might naturally garner more interest and citations than others. Therefore, a ranking system is also employed for a broader viewpoint. Journals ranking provides a perspective of where European Journal of Radiology stands amongst other periodicals in radiology. These rankings can provide additional context for students, educators, and practitioners seeking credible and authoritative resources. For instance, those interested in furthering their medical career might consider enrolling in reputable medical programs, such as nurse practitioner programs in Missouri, renowned for their comprehensive nursing curriculum. Understanding the journal's impact factor, alongside its ranking, can help readers assess the influence of the research published within its pages and guide their preferences in contributing or referencing scholarly articles.
