Overview

Top Research Topics at Obesity Surgery?

Obesity Surgery covers a variety of subjects, including Surgery, Weight loss, Internal medicine, Obesity and Sleeve gastrectomy. The studies on Surgery discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Body mass index, Roux-en-Y anastomosis, Gastric bypass and General surgery. While Obesity Surgery primarily focused on Gastric bypass, it also opened dialogues on the discipline of In patient.

The journal focuses on Weight loss but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Anastomosis, Prospective cohort study, Quality of life and Retrospective cohort study. Internal medicine research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Gastroenterology and Diabetes mellitus, Endocrinology, Type 2 diabetes. The Endocrinology study tackling the subject of Insulin is the focus of it.

In addition to Obesity research, the journal aims to explore topics under Physical therapy and MEDLINE. Issues in Sleeve gastrectomy were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Gastrectomy, Reflux and Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Laparoscopy study tackled is connected to the field of Complication.

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, 13.33% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 11.97% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.13% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.52% of all publications and 63.39% 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.

Collaboration Impact in Obesity Surgery Research

An aspect that enhances the dynamism and richness of the Obesity Surgery research is the level and extent of collaborations it fosters, both within and outside Texan borders. These collaborations not only aid in expanding the frontiers of the disciplines but also in generating new perspectives and findings in the field of weight loss and obesity surgery. A critical part of these collaborations is the involvement and contribution of medical institutions. Particularly noteworthy are the active roles played by Texas-based nursing institutions, which have synergized with other researchers to unveil groundbreaking insights. For instance, in the context of nursing, some of the {anchor} best nursing schools in Texas {/anchor} are shaping the obesity surgery space by participating in collaborative projects and churning out researches that inform the improvement of obesity-related surgical procedures and minimization of complications. Hence, it's crucial to also explore the collaborations dimension in the realm of Obesity Surgery research to fully grasp its progress and impact.
