What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Disease

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The discussions in Revista Espanola De Cardiologia mainly cover the fields of Internal medicine, Cardiology, Gynecology, MEDLINE and Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The featured works in Heart failure, Myocardial infarction and Atrial fibrillation, which all belong in the domain if Internal medicine, also overlaps with concepts under In patient. It explores research in MEDLINE and the adjacent study of Intensive care medicine.

Revista Espanola De Cardiologia aims to bridge the gap between the study of Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak. Research in the field of Virology was used to conduct the presented 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak study.

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, 45.02% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 54.89% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 16.38% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 10.06% of all publications and 18.68% 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.

Education and Training of Authors

An important factor that could be considered when evaluating the quality of research is the level of education and training of the authors. Most authors have a background in medicine or health science, with many having achieved postgraduate qualifications. However, there could be a considerable amount of variance among authors, especially when it comes to specialized areas of study and practical experience. Many of the authors publishing in Revista Espanola De Cardiologia are affiliated with respected institutions known for their medical programs such as the best nursing schools in best nursing schools in New Jersey. Others work in major hospitals or research centers that provide clinical, as well as academic, perspectives. But it's important to note that even though a high level of education and association with recognized institutions doesn't guarantee quality, it can be an indicative factor. Just like with any other aspect of research, critical assessment should be applied to understand the credibility, relevance, and context of the work.
