Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology?

Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology focuses on Internal medicine, Cardiology, Atrial fibrillation, Ablation and Catheter ablation. The journal served as a forum through which researchers explored different topics like Internal medicine and In patient. The Cardiology study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Anesthesia.

The research on Atrial fibrillation tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Stroke and Heart disease. Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology explores topics in Ablation which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Surgery, Fluoroscopy, Radiology and Catheter. Most of the works presented in Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology deals with Surgery but it intersects with the subject of Lead (electronics).

The research on Catheter ablation featured in it combines topics in other fields like Coronary sinus and Cryoablation. Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology focused on Ventricular tachycardia research but expanded to cover Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. Studies on Cardiac resynchronization therapy discussed in it link to the field of QRS complex.

The Ablation research presented in the journal publications focuses mostly on Catheter and, on occasion, topics in Fluoroscopy.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Cardiology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology primarily focuses on research topics in Internal medicine, Cardiology, Ablation, Atrial fibrillation and Catheter ablation. Aside from research in Internal medicine, the journal also discusses In patient studies. The presentations discussing Cardiology offer insights in topics such as Ejection fraction, Sinus rhythm, Heart failure, Cardiac resynchronization therapy and Tachycardia.

Fluoroscopy and Catheter are some topics wherein Ablation research discussed in it have an impact. While work presented in it provided substantial information on Atrial fibrillation, it also covered topics in Meta-analysis, Randomized controlled trial, Surgery and Stroke. The Catheter ablation study featured in Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology draws parallels with the field of Complication.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Medium-term results of cardioneuroablation for clinical bradyarrhythmias and vasovagal syncope: effects on QT interval and heart rate (16 citations)

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, 13.38% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 12.13% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 3.68% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.07% of all publications and 69.12% 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.

Interdisciplinary and Overlapping Fields

A significant feature of the work published in the Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology, and indeed in the field of cardiac electrophysiology itself, lies in its multidisciplinary nature. Research in this field has immense implications not only pertaining to cardiology, but also spanning a multitude of other medical and scientific disciplines. The intersectional nature of these topics ensures that the research conducted in any one field often paves the way for advancements in several others. For instance, studies concerning atrial fibrillation, examined in-depth in the journal, are not only crucial to our understanding of heart rhythms but also have a significant impact on the research conducted in the field of stroke prevention. Another example can be the studies on ablation exploring topics such as best nurse practitioner programs in Pennsylvania which also have implications in the development of surgical techniques and the use of radiology and fluoroscopy. Each published article, therefore, not only contributes to its primary focus area but also forms numerous links and intersections with a host of other related studies. This highly integrated web of research fosters an environment of collaboration, allowing ideas and findings to cross-pollinate between different areas of study, shifting the paradigm of medical and scientific research to a more integrative and interconnected model.
