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, 23.20% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 17.45% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.05% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.57% of all publications and 55.93% 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.

Relevance of Voice Research in Healthcare Careers

This analysis, while robust in terms of exploring the top research topics, most cited papers, top authors and affiliations in the field of voice studies, could benefit from a section on the applicability and relevance of such research in practical fields, especially healthcare. Among the many healthcare roles that can be influenced by advancements in voice studies, the role of nurse practitioners, especially in states with distinct populations like Arkansas, can be immensely impacted. For instance, understanding voice disorders and their implications better can help nurse practitioners improve their diagnostics and patient interaction skills. For those interested in capitalizing on such research for a fruitful career in healthcare, here's how to become a nurse practitioner in Arkansas: how to be a nurse practitioner in Arkansas. This guide offers a comprehensive view of the educational and licensing requirements, job outlook and salary expectations for nurse practitioners in the state. By incorporating knowledge from voice research, professionals working in such roles can address health issues more holistically and improve patient care efficacy. Such a connection between voice research and healthcare practices further demonstrates how interdisciplinary collaborations can lead to the enhancement of healthcare services and patient treatments.
