The journal primarily tackles Cardiac surgery, Cardiothoracic surgery, Surgery, Internal medicine and Cardiology. While Cardiac surgery is the focus of Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, it also provided insights into the studies of Artery, Anesthesia, Cardiopulmonary bypass, Retrospective cohort study and Mitral valve. Mitral valve replacement and Mitral valve repair are among the concentrations of Mitral valve that garnered much attention in it.
The concepts on Cardiothoracic surgery presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Radiology, Perioperative, Stenosis, Aortic valve replacement and Aortic valve. It focuses on Radiology as well as the interrelated topic of Lung. Surgery research discussed connects with the study of Pneumonectomy.
Internal medicine studies presented include Myocardial infarction, Ejection fraction, Heart failure, Coronary artery disease and Atrial fibrillation. In the Cardiology research discussed, Ventricle, Aortic valve stenosis, Mitral regurgitation, Hemodynamics and Pulmonary artery are all tackled. It emphasizes research on Aorta, which includes concerns such as Ascending aorta.
The journal papers tackle a plethora of topics, such as Cardiac surgery, Cardiothoracic surgery, Surgery, Internal medicine and Cardiology. The most cited papers facilitate discussions on Cardiac surgery that incorporate concepts from other fields like Artery, Anesthesia, Cardiopulmonary bypass, Coronary artery disease and Prospective cohort study. The most cited articles explore topics in Cardiothoracic surgery which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Retrospective cohort study, Lung, Pneumonectomy, Radiology and Risk factor.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
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, 11.90% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 22.63% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.11% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.60% of all publications and 57.66% were from other institutions.
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.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
One notable area of research that is interconnected with cardiothoracic surgery is nursing. The role of nurses, especially those specializing in cardiothoracic nursing, is critical in all stages of heart surgery - from pre-operation to recovery. Nurse practitioners who have completed intensive training such as nurse practitioner programs in Oregon can contribute significantly to the assessment, diagnosis, and management of heart patients. They are instrumental in ensuring that patients receive comprehensive and holistic care. Furthermore, studies published in the journal on the subject of nursing practice can provide practical recommendations and new insights that can enhance patient care and outcomes. Research in this area can shed light on the best nursing practices and protocols, the role of advanced nurse practitioners in cardiac care, effective patient education methods, as well as the physical and emotional support needs of cardiac patients. For instance, studies exploring the nurse’s role in pre- and post-operative care can help inform best practices for reducing complications and enhancing recovery. This can include research on how to best educate patients about lifestyle adjustments post-surgery, including nutritional advice and physical activity recommendations. This connection between cardiothoracic surgery and nursing practice underlines the journal’s potential to be a valuable resource for nurse practitioners, nursing researchers, and healthcare professionals alike. Thus, adding this dimension to the research not only enhances our understanding of cardiothoracic surgery but also widens the journal's impact beyond the surgical and medical field, furthering its role in fostering collaborative and interdisciplinary healthcare research.

(2021)For those exploring options beyond traditional medical degrees, several related online programs offer flexible pathways to build a healthcare career. Many registered nurses looking to advance their education and credentials turn to online RN to BSN programs. These programs provide accessible routes to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing while balancing work and life commitments.
Healthcare professionals interested in leadership roles can consider pursuing a Master of Healthcare Administration. The fastest online MHA programs help students earn their degrees quickly without sacrificing quality, ideal for those eager to move into management.
Specializing in mental health nursing is another promising pathway. Programs like psychiatric NP programs prepare nurses to become psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners, addressing critical shortages in mental health care providers.
Additionally, nutrition-focused careers are growing rapidly. Students can accelerate their entry into this field through a fast track nutrition degree online, which combines convenience with comprehensive curriculum tailored to current health trends.
