Research areas of the most cited articles at Neonatology:

The most cited publications aim to foster the development of research in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Anesthesia, Pediatrics and Gestational age. The most cited papers focus on Internal medicine but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Pregnancy, Fetus, Gestation, Cardiology and Gastroenterology. The published articles dive deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Endocrinology and Biochemistry.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme
  • Diabetes mellitus

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Pediatrics, Gestational age, Internal medicine, Bronchopulmonary dysplasia and Anesthesia. While Pediatrics is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Incidence (epidemiology), Retrospective cohort study, Confidence interval, Prospective cohort study and Cohort. The journal explores issues in Gestational age which can be linked to other research areas like Odds ratio, Birth weight, Necrotizing enterocolitis and Gestation.

The journal deals with Gestation in conjunction with Obstetrics and similar fields in Fetus and Pregnancy. In the journal, Gastroenterology, Endocrinology and Cardiology are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Internal medicine research. The journal explores topics in Anesthesia which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Congenital diaphragmatic hernia, Adverse effect, Randomized controlled trial and Intensive care.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Personalized Medicine for the Management of RDS in Preterm Neonates. (4 citations)
  • Improving Neonatal and Maternal Outcome by Inducing Mild Labor before Elective Cesarean Section: The Lacarus Randomized Controlled Trial. (3 citations)
  • Early, Postnatal Pulmonary Hypertension Severity Predicts Inpatient Outcomes in Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. (2 citations)

Papers citation 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, 9.38% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 33.33% 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 21.84% of all publications and 36.78% 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.

Future Prospects in Neonatology

One section that seems to be missing from the article is a detailed discussion on the future of research in neonatology. Researchers, students, and practitioners can greatly benefit from understanding the emerging trends and prospects in this field. Therefore, we suggest adding a section about future prospects and emerging trends in neonatology research. Neonatology, as a specialized field of pediatrics, is rapidly evolving in response to the constant scientific breakthroughs and technological innovations. From the advancement in neonatal ICUs to the development of cutting-edge tools for newborn health assessment, the field is making remarkable strides. These improvements towards ensuring better neonatal care have opened opportunities for fascinating research topics such as neonatal genome sequencing, stem cell therapy, and telemedicine in neonatal care.

The use of AI in neonatal care is also rapidly gaining momentum. AI applications are being researched for the early diagnosis of neonatal diseases, real-time monitoring of vitals, and tailoring treatment plans. This intertwining of technology and neonatology is expected to lead to more precise treatment, better survival rates and consequently, more intriguing research possibilities.

Aspiring nurse practitioners in Ohio considering a specialization in neonatology can take advantage of these emerging trends. Gaining an understanding of these emerging research areas can better prepare nurse practitioners for career advancement. For more information on how to become a specialized nurse practitioner in Ohio, you can refer to our comprehensive guide how to become a nurse practitioner in Ohio.

The proposed section is SEO and NLP friendly as it naturally incorporates relevant keywords, internal links, and provides valuable information to the reader.
