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, 37.54% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 19.70% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 12.12% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.71% of all publications and 47.47% 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 Medical Field

While our focus primarily lies with the exploration of various research topics in the field of medicine, it's important to not overlook the career opportunities that these fields can offer. For instance, those with an interest in Gastroenterology might consider a career as a Gastroenterologist. Furthermore, those inspired by the field of Cardiology can aspire to become Cardiologists. There are also numerous opportunities for those looking to become nurse practitioners. A nurse practitioner is an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) classified as a mid-level practitioner. A career as a nurse practitioner offers an attractive blend of both clinical and nursing practice, along with a rewarding career growth potential.

How to become a nurse practitioner may vary based on factors like the state one wishes to practice in. For example, aspiring practitioners in Washington might find the targeted guide on how to become a nurse practitioner in Washington particularly useful.

Additionally, there are a host of other careers in the medical field that might fit one's interest and skills. Careers in the medical field typically offer competitive compensation, job stability, and the opportunity to make a positive impact on people's lives. Whether you're just starting to explore potential careers in the field, or you're looking at next steps, research and information are imperative for informed career decisions.
