The journal mainly tackles studies in Surgery, Neurosurgery, Spinal fusion, Lumbar and Physical therapy. Lumbar vertebrae, Scoliosis, Radiography, Cervical vertebrae and Kyphosis are Surgery topics of special interest in European Spine Journal. The journal explores issues in Lumbar vertebrae which can be linked to other research areas like Spondylolisthesis and Spinal stenosis.
The journal focuses on Radiography but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Sagittal plane and Nuclear medicine. Sagittal plane research featured in European Spine Journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Lordosis, Orthodontics and Coronal plane. The work on Neurosurgery tackled in European Spine Journal brings together disciplines like Decompression, Anesthesia, Magnetic resonance imaging and Retrospective cohort study.
The discussions emphasized the topic of Lumbar in an attempt to further explore the field of Anatomy. It aims to address concerns in Anatomy, specifically in the areas of Intervertebral disc and Biomechanics. The presented research on Physical therapy deals specifically with Low back pain but it also addresses topics in Back pain.
The published articles are organized to reinforce research efforts on Surgery, Neurosurgery, Lumbar vertebrae, Spinal fusion and Physical therapy. Issues in Neurosurgery were discussed in the journal articles, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Radiography, Kyphosis, Anesthesia and Magnetic resonance imaging. The published articles explore research in Low back pain and overlapping concepts in Back pain to expand the discourse in Physical therapy.
The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Neurosurgery, Surgery, Lumbar, Sagittal plane and Radiography. Some problems in Neurosurgery that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Scoliosis and Meta-analysis, Internal medicine, Complication, Retrospective cohort study. Research on Surgery addressed in it frequently intersections with the field of Oswestry Disability Index.
It explores topics in Lumbar which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Nuclear medicine and Low back pain. The research on Low back pain tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Visual analogue scale and Physical therapy. Research in Orthodontics and the interrelating topic of Deformity were among the subjects of interest in the Sagittal plane studies discussed in the journal.
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 Spine Journal (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 Spine Journal (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, 8.55% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 12.37% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.58% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.16% of all publications and 63.89% 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.
A deeper look into the major institutions contributing to the publication is essential to appreciate the collaboration level in the field. The best NP programs in North Carolina, for example, could be significantly contributing to these research topics in the European Spine Journal. Many authors from these institutions contribute to the research studies in surgery, neurosurgery, spinal fusion, radiography, and much more. As the leading providers of healthcare professionals, these institutions play a significant role in medical research as well. They prioritize experiential and interdisciplinary learning, thus preparing their students to critically examine and innovate ways to improve health outcomes. The collaborations between these institutions could further enhance the quality of research studies published in the field. Inter-institution collaboration brings together researchers with different experiences and specializations, creating a more comprehensive and diverse perspective in tackling different research areas. These collaborations can also promote a more rapid and efficient transfer of research findings into healthcare practice. Hence, the high contribution and collaborations of these institutions significantly improve the impact and relevance of the studies published in the European Spine Journal.

(2020)For those interested in healthcare but not pursuing a traditional medical degree, there are numerous alternative pathways. Nursing remains a popular choice, and many students seek out options like easy nursing schools to get into to begin their careers swiftly and with less admission stress. These programs can provide a strong foundation for a variety of healthcare roles.
For students keen on the administrative side of healthcare, pursuing a degree in healthcare administration offers a fast-track route to leadership roles. Many online programs are designed to be flexible, accommodating working professionals aiming to advance their careers without pausing their jobs.
Cost is often a significant factor, and thankfully, there are many healthcare administration programs available online that make higher education more accessible. These affordable programs enable students to gain valuable expertise without incurring a heavy financial burden.
Additionally, for those seeking more clinical involvement, exploring nurse practitioner programs online can be a great option. These programs often blend rigorous clinical training with convenient online coursework, preparing graduates for advanced practice roles in various healthcare settings.
