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, 52.11% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 55.88% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 29.41% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 11.76% of all publications and 2.94% 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.

Eligibility Requirements for Publication in Der Nephrologe

To publish in Der Nephrologe, authors must meet several eligibility requirements. Among the most crucial requirements is professional accreditation in an area relevant to the journal's key focus areas, which include fields such as Nephrology, Internal Medicine and Gynecology. For example, for research papers focusing on Transplant Surgery or Angiology, the leading author should preferably hold board certification in those specialties. Additionally, authors who are student researchers must involve a faculty advisor or a professional researcher in their project. For those planning to publish articles related to nursing, it is particularly important to hold an appropriate nursing license. In particular, Pennsylvania residents intending to publish in Der Nephrologe may wish to review the Pennsylvania nursing license requirements. Abiding by these engrained licensure standards designs a pathway for articles to maintain a robust level of accuracy and up-to-date medical guidelines, therefore setting a literary apex amongst peer articles. Nonetheless, it's vital to note that professional accreditation isn't the only criteria for publishing in this journal. Other crucial factors include the originality of the research, the soundness of the methodology employed, and the depth and breadth of the literature review. All submitted articles go through a meticulous peer-review process that gauges not only the scholarly achievement but also the contribution to existing disciplines. Maintaining these eligibility parameters will ensure that Der Nephrologe continues to be a reputable source of scientific knowledge bridging several essential disciplines in the medical field.
