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, 12.02% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 28.05% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.95% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.12% of all publications and 44.88% 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.

Connection of Journal Topics to Academic Programs

Among the discussed topics of the journal, it is evident that there is a direct connection between these topics and the curriculums of various academic institutions. In fact, many of the journal's topics related to medical and health sciences are integral components of various nursing programs. A prime example can be found in the curriculum of the top 10 best nursing schools in Iowa. Here, students are educated on subjects such as Internal medicine, Immunology, Molecular biology, Endocrinology which also happen to be the key focus areas of Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis. This aligns with the trend observed in top-tier universities, where curriculums are designed to meet the emerging research trends in their respective fields. Therefore, these nursing schools and other similar institutions play a vital role in developing future healthcare professionals who are well-versed with the latest research and understand the connections between various medical fields. Furthermore, students graduating from such programs can then contribute to the very journals they studied during their coursework, further enriching the research landscape in these respective areas.
