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, 40.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 16.67% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 50.00% of all publications and 33.33% 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 in Oncology Nursing

With continuous advancements in cancer research, the field of oncology nursing has expanded greatly. Oncology nurses are specialized in providing care and treatment to patients diagnosed with cancer. There is an ever-growing demand for qualified registered nurses who are not only passionate about their profession but are also experienced in oncology nursing. Among many opportunities for nurses in the cancer research field, online degrees offer an attractive alternative for those who wish to specialize in this area but are unable to commit to traditional on-campus learning. Best online nursing programs in Nevada offer comprehensive training, preparing aspiring oncology nurses for the challenge of dealing with various types of cancer treatments. These programs generally cover core nursing courses, such as community health nursing, leadership in nursing, and medical surgical nursing, along with a substantial focus on oncology nursing. Graduates are equipped with the skills to manage symptoms and side effects related to cancer treatment, provide psychological support to patients, and educate them about their disease and its management. Demand for professionals in this field is high, and is predicted to grow in the coming years, due to increasing cancer cases worldwide. An online degree can not only allow you to meet this demand but provides flexibility for those juggling personal and professional commitments. Indeed, doing an online degree can also be a starting point for further specialization, leading to roles ranging from research nurse to oncology nurse practitioner. By choosing this career step, you can contribute significantly to making a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer.
