The studies on Irritable bowel syndrome discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Abdominal pain, Immunology and Anxiety. Neurogastroenterology and Motility is focused mainly on Gastric emptying, particularly Gastroparesis.

The presented research on Stimulation deals specifically with Anesthesia but it also addresses topics in Distension. The study on Receptor presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Pharmacology.

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, 4.84% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 36.95% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.85% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.59% of all publications and 36.61% 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 the Field of Neurogastroenterology and Motility

While the study of Neurogastroenterology and Motility is highly specialized, it intersects with a variety of other medical fields, offering a myriad of career opportunities. From research and academia to practicing as a clinical endocrinologist or gastroenterologist, becoming skilled in this domain can provide a unique and rewarding career path. For example, if you pursue a career in Internal medicine, you could specialize in Gastroenterology, working in diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the digestive system. Similarly, you can step into Endocrinology, treating diseases related to hormones and high metabolic functions. The discipline of Neurogastroenterology also provides a deep understanding of irritable bowel syndrome, gastric emptying, and a range of other gastro-intestinal disorders. One of the unique benefits of embarking on such careers is the opportunity to meaningfully contribute to a body of research, whether that's on the relationship between Anxiety and Irritable bowel syndrome, on Gastroparesis in relation to Gastric emptying, or a plethora of other interlinked studies featured in Neurogastroenterology and Motility journal. For those inspired to take up careers in this field, learning about the pathway to becoming a medical professional in related specialties can be invaluable. If you're aiming to establish a role in a niche healthcare domain such as nursing in a specific state, detailed guides explaining prerequisites, required education, and career outlook could be of significant help.
