What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Surgery

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Global heart focuses on Disease, Internal medicine, Environmental health, Cardiology and Health care. While Global heart focused on Disease, it was also able to explore topics like Mortality rate, Socioeconomic status and Intensive care medicine. Internal medicine and Diabetes mellitus are closely related fields of research discussed in Global heart.

Topics in Environmental health explored in Global heart were investigated in conjunction with research in Private sector, Public sector, Risk factor (computing) and Public health. While work presented in Global heart provided substantial information on Cardiology, it also covered topics in Latin Americans and Incidence (epidemiology). The close relationship between Psychological intervention and Risk analysis (engineering), Medical emergency and Essential medicines is one of the points of interest dissected in Health care research.

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, 8.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 30.43% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.59% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.94% of all publications and 42.03% 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.

Instrumental Research and Study Resources

While this journal provides an exhaustive insight into various research topics, it might be beneficial for readers desiring to branch out and explore other fields related to medicine. For instance, furthering studies in nursing could be a complementary and practical application of the knowledge acquired from the journal. Sage advice would be to consider pursuing a Nurse Practitioner degree, which combines both theoretical and practical aspects of healthcare provision. The State of Illinois has a myriad of accredited institutions offering substantial nurse practitioner programs in Illinois. This additional credential could enhance your understanding and application of healthcare delivery significantly. Encouragingly, completing a Nurse Practitioner program can open up new avenues of research and career opportunities in healthcare.
