Overview

Top Research Topics at Shock?

The aim of Shock is to expand the discussion of research in Internal medicine, Immunology, Sepsis, Endocrinology and Anesthesia. The work on Internal medicine tackled in it brings together disciplines like Gastroenterology, Intensive care and Cardiology. The journal tackles issues in Immunology, particularly in the topics of Inflammation, Cytokine, Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Immune system and Proinflammatory cytokine.

While work presented in Shock provided substantial information on Sepsis, it also covered topics in Pharmacology and Intensive care medicine. It focuses on Pharmacology research which is adjacent to topics in Nitric oxide. Shock holds forums on Anesthesia that merges themes from other disciplines such as Mean arterial pressure, Surgery and Blood pressure.

The study on Ischemia featured in the journal expounds on the topic of Reperfusion injury in particular.

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, 8.96% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 10.66% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.25% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 11.07% of all publications and 68.03% 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.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

For students interested in medicine, exploring related online degrees can open diverse career opportunities beyond traditional clinical roles. One popular path is pursuing an online nutrition degree, which equips graduates to advise on diet and wellness, complementing medical knowledge with a focus on preventive care.

Healthcare administration is another crucial field, and accredited education ensures quality and credibility. Prospective leaders can consider cahme-accredited online mha programs that combine flexibility with industry-recognized standards to prepare students for managing complex healthcare systems.

For advanced practice nurses looking to enhance their expertise without extensive clinical hours, online dnp programs without clinicals offer a focused doctorate pathway. These programs emphasize leadership, evidence-based practice, and healthcare policy rather than hands-on patient care.

Those aiming for academic or executive roles in healthcare can pursue a phd in healthcare management, designed to develop strategic thinking and research skills necessary for high-level administration and innovation in healthcare delivery.
