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, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 83.33% 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 16.67% 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.

Opportunities for Further Studies and Pursuing a Career in Oncology

It is clear from the discussion above that a significant part of the research published in the Journal of The National Cancer Institute Monographs revolves around various aspects of Oncology. It also becomes evident that for students or professionals who aspire to contribute significantly in this field, a need for specialized education and training is a must. Whether you're an aspiring nurse practitioner aiming to specialize in Oncology, or a medical practitioner seeking advancement in this specialty, proper education and clinical training would definitely take you far. To help anyone who wants to seriously pursue a career in this field, there are reputable educational programs that offer concentrated studies such as nurse practitioner programs in Nevada. These programs are designed to provide comprehensive knowledge on Oncology, as well as practical training to manage patient care. The Journal, aside from being a platform for showcasing new research, can also be a guide for identifying aspects of Oncology that need more focus, and could potentially lead to critical breakthroughs in the future. By studying these highlighted aspects and expanding knowledge through specialized educational programs, an aspiring Oncology practitioner can make a significant impact in the field.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

For those interested in pursuing a career in medicine or healthcare, there are several online degree pathways that complement traditional medical studies. One such option is exploring direct entry MSN programs, which allow individuals without a nursing background to earn a Master of Science in Nursing in an accelerated timeframe.

For registered nurses aiming to advance their qualifications, comparing programs like Capella University vs WGU RN to BSN can help determine the best fit based on curriculum, flexibility, and cost. These programs often offer paths to leadership or specialized roles in healthcare.

Continuing education remains a priority, and many choose affordable options such as BSN to MSN programs online, which provide a streamlined way to earn advanced nursing degrees while balancing work and study.
