Experimental Physiology explores disciplines such as Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Cardiology, Blood pressure and Skeletal muscle. The journal focuses on different Internal medicine studies like Hypoxia (medical), Aerobic exercise, Heart rate, Hemodynamics and Blood flow. Some problems in Endocrinology that were presented in Experimental Physiology overlapped with concepts under Sodium and Atrophy.

The work on Cardiology tackled in Experimental Physiology brings together disciplines like Breathing and Respiratory system. Experimental Physiology features studies on Blood pressure, including topics such as Vascular resistance. In the journal, Mitochondrial biogenesis and Cell biology are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Skeletal muscle research.

• Individual risk factors associated with exertional heat illness: A systematic review. (11 citations)

Papers citation over time

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.

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, 3.52% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 13.24% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.22% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.81% of all publications and 60.73% 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.

Career Opportunities and Education Pathways in Experimental Physiology

In case you are inspired by the broad field of experimental physiology research and are considering it as your future career path, you might be interested to know about the educational requirements and potential job opportunities. Just like many other professions in the medical field, becoming a researcher in this field requires substantial education and dedication. Degree programs in physiology are available at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and they usually offer coursework in biochemistry, cell biology, and anatomy. Earning a master's degree gives you an opportunity to specialize in a particular area, such as endocrinology or cardiology. You might need to pursue a doctoral degree if you aim to lead your own research or teach at the university level. After obtaining a degree, you could work as a laboratory assistant or technician to gain practical experience. If you decide to further pursue a research career, you might want to seek a postdoctoral fellowship where you can contribute to groundbreaking work and co-author research papers. In addition, a career path post-degree that happens to intersect with the field of experimental physiology is becoming a nurse practitioner. Nurse practitioners are medical professionals who perform some of the same tasks as physicians, and their role often requires a deep understanding of human physiology.
