Internal medicine, Asthma, COPD, Intensive care medicine and Immunology are the subjects of interest in Respirology. Respirology explores topics in Internal medicine which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Gastroenterology, Surgery and Cardiology. Most of the works presented in the journal deals with Gastroenterology but it intersects with the subject of Pathology.
The Asthma works featured in Respirology incorporate elements from Anesthesia, Airway and Pediatrics. While work presented in it provided substantial information on COPD, it also covered topics in Pulmonary disease, Exacerbation and Physical therapy. The journal connects the study in Physical therapy with the closely related area of Quality of life.
The concepts on Intensive care medicine presented in Respirology can also apply to other research fields, including Disease, MEDLINE and Pneumonia. The Immunology study featured in it draws connections with the study of Lung. It focuses on Lung cancer as well as the interrelated topic of Radiology.
The journal papers aim to foster the development of research in Internal medicine, COPD, Immunology, Asthma and Surgery. The Internal medicine research presented in the most cited papers focuses mostly on Pathology and, on occasion, topics in Lung and Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The most cited publications hold forums on Surgery that merge themes from other disciplines such as Lung cancer and Radiology.
Respirology aims to foster the development of research in Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), Internal medicine, 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak and COPD. Some problems in Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Coronavirus and Family medicine. Respirology focuses on Internal medicine but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Gastroenterology and Cardiology.
Topics in 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak were tackled in line with various other fields like MEDLINE and Emergency medicine. Respirology explores issues in COPD which can be linked to other research areas like Exacerbation, Disease, Lung and Intensive care medicine. It explores the study of Asthma to improve our understanding of the broader topic of Immunology.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Respirology (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Respirology (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
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, 16.44% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 37.16% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 12.57% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 10.38% of all publications and 39.89% were from other institutions.
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.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
While this article provides extensive knowledge on the research topics in Respirology, it lacks a section that covers potential career paths that readers can venture into after specializing in this field. In light of this, we will be exploring the various options available within the realm of Respirology. Respirology, being a subfield of internal medicine focused on the diagnosis and treatment of lung-related diseases, opens a variety of career opportunities for its specialists. These opportunities range from clinical practice as consultants in hospitals and clinics to academic positions in universities where they participate in research and teach aspiring respirologists. Firstly, as respirologists, individuals have the opportunity to work as consultants in hospitals. Their role often requires diagnosing and treating patients with pulmonary diseases and conditions such as asthma, COPD, pneumonia, and lung cancer. They work with a team of healthcare professionals to provide the best care for their patients and often have the opportunity to conduct clinical research and trials on novel treatments and interventions. Secondly, they can choose to work as academic respirologists in research institutions and universities. Here, they spend a significant portion of their time conducting research on various respirology-related topics. They also teach medical students, postgraduates, and supervise doctoral research projects. A career in academia not only allows respirologists to contribute to advancing the field but also to collaborate with other scientists and medical professionals worldwide. Moreover, respirologists can also venture into administrative roles within healthcare organizations or government institutions. Here, they can influence and shape health policies and regulations related to respirological care. To prepare for these career paths, many respirologists seek further education and training beyond their medical degree. Nurse practitioner programs in Oklahoma, for instance, provide advanced training for nurses seeking to specialize in respirology. In conclusion, a career in respirology offers several diverse paths to choose from. Depending on their interests, respirologists can find fulfilling careers in clinical practice, academia, administration, or even a combination of these. With ongoing advancements and discoveries, the field of respirology continues to evolve and expand, offering a wealth of opportunities for those who choose to delve into it.
