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 2018 edition, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 100.00% 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 0.00% of all publications and 0.00% 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 in Sports Nutrition

In this ever-evolving field of sports nutrition, career opportunities are growing for those who are passionate about helping both elite athletes and the general population achieve their nutritional and fitness goals. From consulting to athletic teams, conducting research, developing nutrition programs to becoming a nurse practitioner specializing in sports nutrition, there is a plethora of options for interested individuals.

Becoming a nurse practitioner in sports nutrition specifically can be a fulfilling path as it combines both the medical knowledge of a nurse practitioner with the nutritional expertise of a sports nutritionist. If you are interested in this career path, you can learn more about how to become a nurse practitioner in Utah.

Opportunities also exist in academic settings. If you are interested in research and teaching, universities and colleges present avenues to undertake sports nutrition research, contribute to the growing body of knowledge in the field and to impart this knowledge to students studying to join the sports nutrition industry. Another exciting area of opportunity is in the supplementation industry, where sports nutritionists can contribute to the development and testing of new and effective nutritional products for athletes.

Ultimately, the field of sports nutrition presents diverse opportunities in healthcare, academia, research, and industry. The potential for growth and development in the field is limitless and is open to those who are passionate about merging fitness, nutrition, and science.
