Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery?

Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery is mainly concerned with subjects like Surgery, Internal medicine, General surgery, Gastroenterology and Radiology. Surgery, which encompasses Retrospective cohort study, Anastomosis, Laparoscopy, Perioperative and Complication, is the main subject of it. The Retrospective cohort study study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Survival rate.

Some problems in Internal medicine that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Endocrinology and Oncology. General surgery research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Pancreaticoduodenectomy and MEDLINE. Pancreaticoduodenectomy research discussed connects with the study of Pancreatic fistula.

The Gastroenterology works featured in it incorporate elements from Hepatectomy, Reflux, Incidence (epidemiology) and Adenocarcinoma. The work on Cancer presented in the journal focuses on Gastrectomy in particular.

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, 8.09% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 19.80% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.40% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.20% of all publications and 59.60% 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.

Relation to Nursing

Though the Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery typically covers specialized topics within surgery and internal medicine, it is important to note the intersection and relevance of these topics to the field of nursing. Nurses play crucial roles in patient care before, during, and after surgical procedures, contributing significantly to patients' recovery and overall treatment outcomes. Topics such as laparoscopy, perioperative and complication management, and patient survival rate mentioned in this journal also hold significant relevance for nursing professionals and students seeking to broaden their knowledge base within surgical contexts.

In addition, understanding medical research, such as that published in the Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery, is part of the advancement and continuing education in nursing. Moreover, nurses can contribute their unique perspectives through research, enhancing practice and patient care standards.

For nurses interested in surgical care and related fields like gastroenterology, quality education becomes vital. Consider checking out the top 10 best nursing schools in New Mexico where you could get specialized courses related to this field.
