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, 9.09% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 16.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.00% of all publications and 58.00% 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.

Interdisciplinary Approach in the Study of Peritoneal Dialysis

Peritoneal Dialysis International displays an interdisciplinary approach while providing the research for relevant topics like Dialysis, Kidney disease, and Urology. As the pathways of medical science tend to criss-cross, Peritoneal Dialysis International includes the expertise from other fields, which not only compliments but enhances the understanding of the main topics discussed. This is particularly evident in the studies related to Urology, where ideas from Renal function and Creatinine are integrated. With an aim to provide a holistic understanding in the field, do consider expanding your knowledge by pursuing further education such as the {anchor} to garner a comprehensive understanding of the subtle nuances involved in these related and often interlinked fields. In the study of these interdisciplinary subjects, it's crucial to understand the symbiotic relationship between different disciplines as they underpin one another, contributing to an all-encompassing perspective of the topics at hand. Fundamental principles of Biology and Medicine illustrate how knowledge from one field can broaden the perspective of another, pushing the boundaries of scientific discovery and empowering researchers with more comprehensive insights in their field of study. Moreover, knowledge from branches like Gastroenterology, Cardiology, and Diabetes mellitus have been proven to be invaluable in the studies of Internal Medicine presented in Peritoneal Dialysis International. Similarly, Microbiology and Antibiotics play a crucial role in the studies involved in Peritonitis. Choosing to view each medical phenomenon through a broad lens that incorporates numerous related fields propels a narrative that is rich, varied, and most importantly, most reflective of the complex workings of the human body. It's a perspective that brings richer context to the scientific community and encourages a holistic approach to medical problem-solving.
