Overview

Top Research Topics at Pediatric Emergency Care?

The objective of the journal is to combine knowledge in the areas of Emergency department, Surgery, Pediatrics, Intensive care and Emergency medicine. Issues in Emergency department were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like MEDLINE, Retrospective cohort study, Family medicine, Confidence interval and Medical emergency. Medical emergency research presented in Pediatric Emergency Care encompasses a variety of subjects, including Pediatric emergency and Occupational safety and health.

It investigates Surgery research which frequently intersects with Internal medicine. The work on Pediatrics tackled in Pediatric Emergency Care brings together disciplines like Injury prevention and Etiology. It tackles studies in Human factors and ergonomics and the interrelated subject of Suicide prevention to gain insights into Injury prevention.

The journal facilitates discussions on Intensive care that incorporate concepts from other fields like Anesthesia, Resuscitation and El Niño. Anesthesia research presented is mostly focused on the subject of Sedation. It connects research in Emergency medicine with the related topic of Pediatric emergency medicine.

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, 29.90% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 28.43% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.88% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.63% of all publications and 47.06% 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.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

For students interested in healthcare careers beyond traditional medical school, there are several online degree options that provide flexible, accelerated routes. For example, those seeking to advance their nursing career can explore the shortest time to become a nurse practitioner, which highlights fast-track programs designed to minimize time without sacrificing clinical depth.

Nurses aiming to enhance their qualifications can choose an rn to bsn 6 months program. These short, intensive degrees offer a quick pathway to obtaining a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, which is often a prerequisite for advanced practice roles.

For registered nurses with an associate degree, bridge programs from adn to np offer an efficient pathway to becoming a nurse practitioner. Such programs combine advanced clinical training with leadership skills, preparing nurses to take on expanded responsibilities.

Non-nurses seeking entry into the nursing profession can consider direct entry msn programs. These programs allow individuals with non-nursing bachelor’s degrees to fast-track their nursing education and move directly into Master of Science in Nursing degrees, dramatically shortening the path to a rewarding career.
