Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Gastric Cancer?

Cancer, Surgery, Internal medicine, Gastrectomy and Gastroenterology are among the topics commonly tackled in Journal of Gastric Cancer. The study of Cancer encompasses disciplines such as Lymph node, as well as fields such as Dissection, all of which overlap with one another. The journal facilitates discussions on Surgery that incorporate concepts from other fields like Early Gastric Cancer and General surgery.

While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Early Gastric Cancer, it also covered topics in Lesion and Radiology. Stomach, Chemotherapy and Multivariate analysis research are fields of study within Internal medicine but they also intertwine with concepts in In patient. It focuses on Stomach as well as the interrelated topic of Carcinoma.

Journal of Gastric Cancer holds forums on Gastrectomy that merges themes from other disciplines such as Body mass index, Quality of life, Complication and Endoscopy. It focuses on Gastroenterology but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Hazard ratio, Incidence (epidemiology) and Adenocarcinoma. The main emphasis of the journal is the research on Pathology, emphasizing the topic of Immunohistochemistry.

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, 3.45% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 50.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 17.86% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 10.71% of all publications and 21.43% 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.

Contributions from the Field of Nursing in Gastric Cancer

The Journal of Gastric Cancer encompasses a wide range of interdisciplinary research fields, including nursing. Indeed, nursing, particularly oncology nursing, plays a pivotal role in the care and management of gastric cancer patients, from early detection to palliative care. Thus, researchers and practitioners in nursing have contributed insightful works on patient care standards, pain management, and patient education among other critical areas in this domain.

For example, studies have been conducted on the role of advanced practice nurses in enhancing the quality of life for gastric cancer patients. Further research has evaluated the efficacy of diverse pain management strategies implemented by nursing professionals. Given the diverse ethical, psychological, and physical aspects intertwined in the care of cancer patients, nursing research in this field is of great significance.

It is worth noting that the contributions of nursing to gastric cancer research and treatment are contingent on regulatory aspects such as licensure and advanced practice regulations, which may vary based on geographic location. For instance, in the state of Washington, the nursing practice is guided by specific Washington nursing license requirements, which impacts the nature and scope of nursing duties in the management of gastric cancer.

By integrating studies from nursing into its corpus, the Journal of Gastric Cancer brings out the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in furthering gastric cancer research and patient care, offering its readers a more holistic view of the field.
