Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Human Hypertension?

The journal mainly deals with areas of study such as Internal medicine, Blood pressure, Endocrinology, Cardiology and Surgery. Journal of Human Hypertension connects the study in Internal medicine with the closely related area of Diabetes mellitus. Journal of Human Hypertension addresses concerns in Blood pressure which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Body mass index and Ambulatory.

Most of the works presented in Journal of Human Hypertension deals with Body mass index but it intersects with the subject of Obesity. The journal encompasses presentations on Endocrinology, specifically Renin–angiotensin system, Angiotensin II, Aldosterone, Plasma renin activity and Insulin. The work on Cardiology tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Pulse wave velocity, Pulse pressure, Arterial stiffness and Stroke.

  • Internal medicine (63.20%)
  • Blood pressure (56.25%)
  • Endocrinology (29.86%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Guidelines for management of hypertension: report of the fourth working party of the British Hypertension Society, 2004—BHS IV (1145 citations)
  • A comprehensive review on salt and health and current experience of worldwide salt reduction programmes. (839 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Journal of Human Hypertension:

The published articles primarily focus on research topics in Blood pressure, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Cardiology and Surgery. In addition to Blood pressure research, the most cited publications aim to explore topics under Body mass index, Ambulatory and Risk factor. The studies tackled in the published papers, which mainly focus on Internal medicine, apply to Diabetes mellitus as well.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Blood pressure

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The aim of Journal of Human Hypertension is to expand the discussion of research in Internal medicine, Blood pressure, Cardiology, MEDLINE and Confidence interval. The journal explores research in Internal medicine and the adjacent study of Endocrinology. Journal of Human Hypertension explores topics in Blood pressure which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Body mass index, Logistic regression, Ambulatory, Disease and Cohort.

The research on Logistic regression featured in Journal of Human Hypertension combines topics in other fields like Prehypertension and Risk factor. Journal of Human Hypertension focuses on Cardiology but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Pulse wave velocity, Pulse pressure, Left ventricular hypertrophy and Heart rate. Some problems in MEDLINE that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Family medicine and Intensive care medicine.

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, 3.82% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 11.11% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.16% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 19.44% of all publications and 64.29% 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.

Affiliation and Collaboration

A crucial aspect that influences the direction of research in the Journal of Human Hypertension is the institutional backing of the authors and collaborations across different research bodies. Numerous authors associated with prestigious institutions contribute to this journal, producing papers that heavily shape the academic discourse around hypertension. As evidenced by many of the most-cited papers, collaborations between authors from different institutions often result in insightful, well-rounded research.

Many authors who publish in the Journal of Human Hypertension come from medical schools or departments focusing on Internal Medicine, Endocrinology, or Cardiology. These affiliations often inform the nature and focus of the research, injecting practical clinical perspectives into the publications.

For instance, authors coming from leading nursing schools in New York could bring valuable insights into the practical implications of hypertension management in a nursing context. This highlights the significance of the authors' backgrounds in shaping the research generated, underlining the symbiotic relationship between academia and the medical profession.

This scope further emphasizes the importance of fostering collaborations across various sectors within the medical field to push forward the boundaries of hypertension research. This diversity in perspective promotes a holistic approach to addressing hypertension which is valuable for both the academic community and the medical profession.
