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, 15.23% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 30.64% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 13.09% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.71% of all publications and 39.55% 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.

Career Opportunities and Educational Requirements

A career in medicine or medical research can be highly rewarding, but it requires several years of education and hands-on training. For example, becoming a researcher or practitioner within the fields extensively covered in the Journal of International Medical Research such as Internal Medicine, Surgery, or Anesthesia, among others involves comprehensive study and practice. However, individuals interested in these fields should note that the path to such careers is not one-size-fits-all. The educational requirements and subsequent professional experiences may vary based on geographical context, the nature of the institution, and specific regulations or guidelines set by professional bodies. Let's consider the case of a nursing career in West Virginia, a profession closely related to the medical field. It involves attaining a nursing degree, passing the licensure examination, and meeting the specific requisites of the West Virginia state nursing board. To learn more about this, you may want to explore insights on how to embark on a nursing profession in this region. You can refer to the comprehensive guide on how to be a nurse in West Virginia for more information. The referred page elaborates on the qualifications needed, exam details, application processes, and other crucial aspects related to becoming a nurse in West Virginia. This is just an illustration and similar approaches would apply to other professions as well. It's also beneficial for those in the medical research field to stay abreast of the latest discussions, developments, and trends by regularly reviewing esteemed journals such as the Journal of International Medical Research. Let these examples serve as a stepping stone in your journey to become a part of the vast and dynamic world of medicine and medical research.
