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, 21.28% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 16.22% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 13.51% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 29.73% of all publications and 40.54% 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.

The Role of Nursing in Transplantation

In the field of transplantation, nursing holds a vital position, often serving as the primary liaison between the medical team, patients, and their families. While the technical aspects of transplantation are undeniably critical, the role of a specialized nursing team can also greatly influence the success of a transplant procedure and the subsequent recovery. Transplant nurses provide a variety of essential services, including pre-operative education, postoperative care, and psychological support for patients and their families. They are also responsible for coordinating between various team members and facilitating smooth communication, which can be vital in managing the complexity of transplantation cases and ensuring positive outcomes. Deciding to specialize in transplant nursing requires advanced education and practical training. This can be achieved by pursuing a degree or certification from reputable institutions, in line with the necessary guidelines and recommendations. If you are interested in pursuing this career, there are various good nursing schools in Kentucky that offer specialized programs in this field. Furthermore, staying updated with the latest advancements in this area of medicine through journals such as 'Progress in Transplantation' can also help nurses excel in their profession and provide the best care for their patients.
Overall, as the field of transplantation continues to evolve and grow, the demand for skilled and knowledgeable transplant nurses also increases. Hence, focusing on education and specialized training in this field is crucial.
