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, 65.59% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 3.12% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.75% of all publications and 53.12% 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 After Graduating with a Degree in Pediatrics

An important aspect related to the field of pediatrics that the article doesn't touch on, is the potential career opportunities available for students graduating with a degree in pediatrics. One of these careers, which has an immense scope in the healthcare sector is that of a Nurse Practitioner. A Nurse Practitioner is a registered nurse (RN) who has additional education and training in a specialist area, such as family practice or pediatrics. Pediatric and family practice NPs can provide regular health care for kids. In some US states, like Vermont, nurse practitioners are allowed to practice independently without physician supervision. They can provide primary and preventive care services, diagnose and treat illnesses, and prescribe medication. For those aspiring to become a nurse practitioner in Vermont, it is important to be informed about the education and licensing requirements, along with the skills needed in this field. Understanding these requirements will not only provide a clear path towards this career but will also enhance one's potential in the healthcare industry. Nurse practitioner education requirements in Vermont lays out these details extensively providing comprehensive information on the subject. Furthermore, studying pediatrics can open doors to several other careers in the healthcare field such as pediatrician, pediatric nurse, child life specialist, or a pediatric medical writer. Remember, a sound educational foundation complemented with the required practical experience, marks the successful journey towards a rewarding career.
