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, 2.13% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 58.70% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.52% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 5.43% of all publications and 29.35% 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.

Impact and Relevance of Cardiovascular Disease Research in Medical Education

In addition to its significance in advancing medical knowledge and treatments, the research conducted and published in Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases plays a vital role in medical education, particularly in specialized areas such as cardiology and internal medicine. The effect of cardiology related research, with a specific focus on cardiovascular diseases, extends beyond direct patient care and influences the structure and content of both undergraduate and postgraduate medical curriculums. By driving educational developments in these areas, cutting-edge research findings ensure that future medical professionals are equipped with the latest knowledge and skills to manage and treat cardiovascular conditions effectively. Moreover, in the era of online education driven by technological advancements, the importance of integrating these research findings into online educational programs cannot be overstated. For instance, online nursing schools in best online nursing programs in Nevada utilize these research studies to update their course content and teaching methods. This approach provides nursing students with a relevant and contemporary understanding of cardiovascular diseases, setting a strong foundation for their future clinical practice. The transformative findings published in Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases ensure that the next generation of healthcare professionals, whether they are studying in traditional settings or via online platforms, are thoroughly prepared to make significant contributions to patient care and further research in the field of Cardiovascular Diseases.
