Overview

Top Research Topics at Targeted Oncology?

The journal covers a variety of subjects, including Internal medicine, Oncology, Cancer, Cancer research and Chemotherapy. The journal aims to address concerns in Internal medicine, specifically in the areas of Adverse effect, Lung cancer, Clinical trial, Colorectal cancer and Carcinoma. Targeted Oncology holds forums on Adverse effect that merges themes from other disciplines such as Gastroenterology and Surgery.

The journal dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Carcinoma and Retrospective cohort study. The study of Oncology encompasses disciplines such as Epidermal growth factor receptor, as well as fields such as Tyrosine-kinase inhibitor, all of which overlap with one another. While it focused on Cancer, it was also able to explore topics like Vascular endothelial growth factor, Immunology and Pathology.

Immunotherapy is a major topic of Immunology research presented in Targeted Oncology. The studies in Cancer research featured incorporate elements of Cancer cell, Tyrosine kinase, PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and Pharmacology. Sunitinib research presented in Targeted Oncology encompasses a variety of subjects, including Everolimus and Sorafenib.

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, 4.35% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 37.88% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 12.12% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 24.24% of all publications and 25.76% 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.

Career Opportunities in Oncology

Research is a key aspect of any role in the realm of Oncology, but it's also essential to understand the practical applications of such research in real-world clinical settings. Cancer research is a critical aspect of this field, which is constantly improving and providing innovative treatments to patients worldwide. For those looking to dive into the field of Oncology, a targeted understanding of current research topics can provide a strong foundation. But what are some career paths in Oncology that this research can translate into? Clinical roles within Oncology include roles such as oncologists, oncology nurses, radiologists and oncology pharmacists. These roles involve interacting with patients and making use of current research to interpret symptoms, diagnose conditions and monitor treatment progression. There are also roles within Oncology research. In these roles, professions are directly involved in conducting studies, analyzing data, and developing new treatment methods. This includes roles like medical scientists, biochemists, and biophysicists. Educational foundation is also a critical aspect to consider when aspiring towards a career in Oncology. Certain roles require specific nursing degrees and for that, checking some of the top nursing degrees can be beneficial. For example, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) is a common requirement for nursing roles within Oncology. To get an idea about some of the best nursing degrees, you can check our comprehensive research about top nursing degrees in different states such as Nebraska.
