Top Research Topics at Innovations: Technology and Techniques in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery?

The journal mainly tackles studies in Surgery, Internal medicine, Cardiology, Artery and Atrial fibrillation. The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Surgery, apply to Aortic valve replacement as well. The study on Aortic valve replacement presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Aortic valve stenosis.

Internal medicine studies presented include Off-pump coronary artery bypass, Heart failure, Revascularization, Percutaneous coronary intervention and Retrospective cohort study. It features works in Cardiology, more specifically Cardiopulmonary bypass, Coronary artery disease, Aortic valve and Transcatheter aortic, and explores their relation to disciplines like In patient. Most of the Transcatheter aortic studies addressed also intersect with Valve replacement.

The majority of Artery studies in Innovations: Technology and Techniques in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery are focused on the subject of Bypass grafting. It focuses on Atrial fibrillation as well as the interrelated topic of Ablation. Part of the Mitral valve and Mitral regurgitation studies discussed focus on Mitral valve repair.

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, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 16.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 24.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.00% of all publications and 44.00% 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.

Further Studies and Educational Platforms

For readers and researchers interested in expanding their knowledge beyond the scope of Innovations: Technology and Techniques in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, pursuing further education could be a beneficial endeavor. There are many online platforms offering comprehensive courses in related fields. For instance, registered nurses seeking to elevate their medical knowledge may explore the curated list of {anchor}best online nursing schools in Florida.
