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, 4.73% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 22.36% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 14.39% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 21.12% of all publications and 42.13% 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.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

For those interested in expanding their medical career options, pursuing related online degrees can offer flexible and accelerated pathways. For example, many healthcare professionals consider enrolling in the shortest post master’s DNP program to advance their qualifications without committing to lengthy study periods.

If you’re looking to enter the healthcare field quickly, an accelerated MA program can help you become a medical assistant in as little as six weeks. This fast-track is ideal for those eager to start working promptly while gaining essential clinical skills.

For nurses aiming to elevate their practice, some seek the easiest DNP program. While "easy" doesn’t mean less rigorous, these programs tend to be more manageable alongside work commitments, allowing for steady progress toward a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree.

Cost is also a crucial factor in choosing healthcare education. Many students explore affordable options like online medical billing and coding certification courses, with information on medical coding certification cost being a top consideration. These certifications can open doors to administrative roles in the medical field.
