Overview

Top Research Topics at Ocular Oncology and Pathology?

The journal aims to foster the development of research in Pathology, Melanoma, Ophthalmology, Biopsy and Enucleation. Immunohistochemistry, Lesion, Conjunctiva, Histopathology and Lymphoma are some of the study areas of Pathology discussed. In it, Dermatology, Internal medicine, Radiology and Metastasis are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Melanoma research.

While work presented in Ocular Oncology and Pathology provided substantial information on Dermatology, it also covered topics in Conjunctival Melanoma and Eyelid. Ocular Oncology and Pathology features studies on Radiology, including topics such as Brachytherapy. Discussions in Ocular Oncology and Pathology are anchored in the subject of Metastasis and the similar topic of Oncology.

The work on Ophthalmology addressed in it expands to the thematically related Choroid. The Biopsy study featured in the journal draws connections with the study of Surgery.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Ocular Oncology and Pathology:

The journal publications tackle a plethora of topics, such as Melanoma, Pathology, Chemotherapy, Surgery and Internal medicine. While the primary focus in the most cited articles is Melanoma, they also dissect topics surrounding Metastasis and Translational oncology, Immunology and Epidemiology as a whole. While Pathology is the focus of the most cited publications, it also provides insights into the studies of Dermatology, Cancer research, Optical coherence tomography and Basal (phylogenetics).

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

  • Cancer
  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal mainly tackles studies in Melanoma, Ophthalmology, Dermatology, Radiology and Pathology. Melanoma research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Nuclear medicine, Internal medicine, Cornea and Oncology. Ocular Oncology and Pathology deals with Ophthalmology in conjunction with Biopsy and similar fields in In vitro study, Trans-scleral, Adenoma, Retinal pigment epithelium and Adenocarcinoma.

The research on Radiology tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Orbit (anatomy) and Primary Breast Lymphoma. It explores topics in Pathology which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Choroidal melanoma and Chemotherapy. The close relationship between Retinal Tumor and Surgery is one of the points of interest dissected in Chemotherapy research.

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, 50.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 34.62% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.69% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 26.92% of all publications and 30.77% 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.
