The scientific interests tackled in Nature Reviews Endocrinology are MEDLINE, Bioinformatics, Internal medicine, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Text mining. The journal addresses concerns in MEDLINE which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Gerontology and Intensive care medicine. The study of Bioinformatics encompasses disciplines such as Disease, as well as fields such as Clinical trial, all of which overlap with one another.

The research on Internal medicine featured in Nature Reviews Endocrinology combines topics in other fields like Endocrinology and Oncology. Adipose tissue and Insulin resistance are all areas of Endocrinology tackled in Nature Reviews Endocrinology. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus studies tackled cover an aspect of the field of Diabetes mellitus.

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

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, 45.75% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 15.66% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 13.25% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.05% of all publications and 59.04% 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.

Further Education Options for Research Involvement

For those interested in endocrinology and seeking to further participate in research, pursuing advanced degrees such as a Nurse Practitioner program in Illinois which provides an excellent foundation in endocrinology clinical practice may further foster interest and direct involvement in future research. Illinois is known to house some of the best nurse practitioner programs in the country, enabling students to immerse themselves in advanced health care training, interdisciplinary collaboration, and innovative research opportunities. For more information on these programs, kindly visit this page: best nurse practitioner programs in Illinois. By combining scholarly work with specialized medical practice, these advanced degrees can increase the opportunity for individuals to contribute directly to the evolving landscape of endocrine research lauded in journals such as Nature Reviews Endocrinology.
