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, 8.60% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 23.53% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.76% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.65% of all publications and 47.06% 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.

Application of Research in Clinical Practice

In the world of medical practice, the connection between research and its application to patient care is crucial. Throughout the broad spectrum of disciplines explored by Gastroenterology Research and Practice, the studies, research, and insights provided in the journal work towards enhancing clinical practice in these fields. For example, in the discipline of surgery, the research published on adverse effects and incidence provides important insights to surgeons and medical professionals. These insights can be utilized to anticipate potential complications and to develop preventative measures, thus improving patient care. Interestingly, the relevance of this research is not only limited to the field of gastroenterology. In fact, the interdisciplinary nature of the journal results in overlaps with other areas of medicine, such as internal medicine and oncology. This implies that the knowledge produced through this research can benefit a wide scope of medical professionals and improve patient care across the board. For those considering a career in the medical field or considering specializing in gastroenterology, the information from this journal will provide an overview of the current research trends and potential career paths in these fields. For instance, you might be interested in learning more about how this research is applied in real-world settings, such as how to operate on gastrointestinal diseases, or how to diagnose and treat patients. If this is the case, you might wish to consider becoming a registered nurse or a gastroenterology specialist in a specific location. For example, if you're considering working in Minnesota, you might be interested in learning more about how to become a registered nurse in Minnesota. Ultimately, gastroenterology research serves the broader medical community by providing a basis for evidence-based practice, improving our understanding of diseases, and contributing to advancements in patient care. By sharing this research through a journal like Gastroenterology Research and Practice, this vital information can reach a wider audience of medical professionals and ultimately serve to improve patient care across multiple disciplines.
