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, 10.16% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 22.61% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.30% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.04% of all publications and 53.04% 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.

Transition Path From Clinical Practice to Endocrinology Research

Although the International Journal of Endocrinology hosts a plethora of research topics, many of them originate from healthcare professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of the disease spectrum they encounter daily in clinical practice. This includes not just doctors and specialists, but also nurses who, with a growing scope in healthcare, are taking up roles in research to present their unique perspectives on patient care. In fact, certain professional pathways, like those leading to the role of a nurse practitioner, actively encourage participation in research activities in areas such as Endocrinology to contribute towards better patient outcomes. For instance, if you're a nurse practitioner or an aspiring one in Arizona, you may find engaging in research related to Diabetes mellitus or Metabolic syndrome will complement your clinical role while broadening the horizon of healthcare knowledge. In order to do this, you may need guidance on how to balance your clinical obligations with your research activities. To guide you on this journey, we have prepared a comprehensive guide on how to become a nurse practitioner in Arizona with tips on how to integrate research into your career pathway seamlessly. Our guide includes strategies nurses can use to move from applied clinical practice to theoretical research, while also providing insights on how to marry these two domains for holistic healthcare delivery. Through this integrated approach, nurse practitioners in Arizona can play a pivotal role in adding to the rich body of knowledge exemplified by International Journal of Endocrinology. As more healthcare providers enter the realm of academic research, we will continue expanding our understanding of diseases like Diabetes Mellitus, and ultimately, enhance the standard of patient care in the healthcare industry.
