Overview

Top Research Topics at Nutrition Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases?

The aim of Nutrition Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases is to expand the discussion of research in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Diabetes mellitus, Body mass index and Obesity. The work on Internal medicine tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Type 2 diabetes and Cardiology. Cardiology, which encompasses Coronary artery disease and Myocardial infarction, is the main subject of Nutrition Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases.

Insulin, Cholesterol, Lipoprotein, Adipose tissue and Triglyceride are among the concentrations of Endocrinology that garnered much attention in Nutrition Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases. Research on Diabetes mellitus addressed in the journal frequently intersections with the field of Disease. While the journal focused on Body mass index, it was also able to explore topics like Anthropometry and Cohort.

Nutrition Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases facilitated presentations on Obesity research, particularly Overweight and Weight loss. Most of the Metabolic syndrome studies addressed also intersect with Odds ratio.

  • Internal medicine (64.12%)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Nutrition Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases:

The journal papers investigate studies in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Diabetes mellitus, Obesity and Body mass index. The studies on Endocrinology discussed at the published articles can also contribute to research in the domains of Inflammation and Gastroenterology. In addition to Diabetes mellitus research, the journal papers aim to explore topics under Physical therapy and Disease.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Gene

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The objective of the journal is to combine knowledge in the areas of Internal medicine, Obesity, Diabetes mellitus, Body mass index and Cardiology. The concepts on Internal medicine presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Gastroenterology and Endocrinology. Diabetes mellitus works presented in the journal have a specific focus on Type 2 diabetes.

Nutrition Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases holds forums on Body mass index that merges themes from other disciplines such as Anthropometry and Blood pressure. In addition to Cardiology research, it aims to explore topics under Pulse wave velocity and Arterial stiffness. It explores topics in Confidence interval which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Meta-analysis, Metabolic syndrome, Cohort and Stroke.

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, 4.66% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 17.60% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 3.91% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.87% of all publications and 61.61% 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.
