Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Cancer?

The journal primarily focuses on research topics in Cancer research, Internal medicine, Oncology, Cancer and Metastasis. Cancer research research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Cell growth, Apoptosis, Gene knockdown, Carcinogenesis and Downregulation and upregulation. The work on Cell growth tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Cell culture, Cell, Cell cycle and Protein kinase B.

The subject of Gastroenterology, which is connected to the field of Hepatocellular carcinoma, serves as the foundation of the Internal medicine research featured in Journal of Cancer. The research on Oncology tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Meta-analysis, Colorectal cancer, Breast cancer and Immunohistochemistry. Immunohistochemistry research presented falls under the umbrella topic of Pathology.

Issues in Cancer were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Biomarker (medicine) and microRNA. The work on Metastasis presented in Journal of Cancer focuses on Epithelial–mesenchymal transition in particular. The studies in Proportional hazards model featured incorporate elements of Survival analysis and Nomogram.

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, 2.44% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 41.63% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 15.65% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.50% of all publications and 22.22% 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.

Journal of Cancer and Nurse Practitioners

Adding another dimension to this analysis, it is worthwhile noting that nurse practitioners, particularly those specializing in oncology, can hugely benefit from the research presented in the Journal of Cancer. Background knowledge in these research topics is highly beneficial for those who are looking to advance in their respective fields. Particularly for those who are in or considering np programs in Nebraska, it can provide an excellent foundation for understanding and potentially contributing to cancer research. Further, the inter-disciplinary methodology demonstrated in the study topics can offer a comprehensive perspective on cancer research, underscoring the significance of collaboration between various health care specialties. In this exhaustive approach to cancer study, nurse practitioners can build strong theoretical frameworks that can contribute significantly to their clinical practice. Overall, the Journal of Cancer serves not only as an essential resource for seasoned researchers and professionals but is equally valuable to those in the early stages of their medical career, including nurse practitioners. It can inspire, educate, and drive innovation, inspiring cutting-edge research and practice in cancer treatment and care.
