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, 22.22% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 20.11% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 23.28% of all publications and 56.61% 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.

Application of Research in Real-World Settings

A critical aspect of the Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology is the practical impact the research published within its pages has on medicine, science, and the broader community. While the journal covers a wide range of subjects, one subject in particular is missing from this review: the application of these research topics and findings in real-world scenarios, such as their impact on medical procedures and therapies. For instance, we can elaborate on how studies on esophageal cancer, colorectal cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma are bringing improvements to the treatment and management of these conditions in real-world settings. Research in these areas often contributes to advancements in surgical procedures, chemotherapy regimens, and disease management strategies. Additionally, it would be useful to draw attention to the collaboration between various science and medical disciplines in the quest for oncology treatment solutions. We could discuss how this interdisciplinary approach has led to innovations and breakthroughs in areas such as internal medicine and surgery. Moreover, a brief walkthrough of how the research featured in this journal aligns with academic programs in related disciplines might offer some insightful connections. For instance, courses like the online nursing programs in New Mexico cover some of these topics in their syllabus, offering practical insight to students and researchers alike on how these scientific discoveries translate into the real world. In conclusion, understanding how the research in the Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology applies to real-world medical field and academic arenas is an invaluable addition to appreciating the scope and impact of the journal’s contributions.
