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, 5.45% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 26.92% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.54% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.38% of all publications and 46.15% 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.

Application of Research in Nursing Field

Research in liver disease and associated conditions has significant implications for various medical branches, including nursing. An understanding of these liver diseases can be pivotal in the nursing field, helping nurses provide better care, suitable advice, and appropriate treatment to patients. Nursing professionals, particularly those specializing in gastroenterology and hepatology, could greatly benefit from this research. By staying updated with the latest findings and clinical studies in liver diseases, nurses can enhance patient care, enrich their knowledge, and improve their practice. Moreover, this research can serve as a valuable resource for nursing schools to update their curriculums and prioritize liver diseases in their nursing programs, to deal with these conditions more effectively. For instance, nursing schools, like the top 10 best nursing schools in New Hampshire, can incorporate these studies into their syllabi. This inclusion will help prepare future nurses to better understand and manage disorders related to the liver and thereby promote overall patient health and well-being. Ultimately, merging the disciplines of nursing and liver disease research can contribute to the improved management of liver diseases, driving better health outcomes for patients and propelling advancements in medical research.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

For those interested in expanding their medical knowledge beyond traditional medicine degrees, several online pathways offer flexible options. One popular route for non-nurses looking to enter nursing at an advanced level is through an online direct entry MSN program. These accelerated programs provide a fast-track to becoming a registered nurse with a master’s degree.

For current registered nurses aiming to advance their careers, comparing programs like capella vs wgu rn to bsn programs can help identify the best fit based on affordability, flexibility, and curriculum. Such RN to BSN programs often serve as stepping stones to leadership roles in healthcare.

Additionally, bridge programs that transition students from a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) to a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) are gaining traction. Exploring the bsn to msn options allows nurses to find affordable and efficient pathways to specialize or move into advanced practice roles.

For those looking to minimize on-site requirements, the best online rn to bsn programs without clinical requirements offer convenient alternatives that eliminate clinical placements, ideal for busy professionals seeking flexibility.
