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, 6.38% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 43.18% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 4.55% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 6.82% of all publications and 45.45% 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 for Texas Heart Institute Journal Researchers

In their pursuit of knowledge and advancement in the medical field, many researchers aspire to directly impact the healthcare system. Therefore, it is worth noting that the knowledge acquisition they work on can also be directly applied in the healthcare practices, such as in a nursing career. There are increasing opportunities for researchers to move into more practical roles where they can apply their in-depth expertise and contribute more effectively to society's health. For example, researchers with expertise in cardiology or internal medicine can consider an academic nursing career, where they can utilize their research skills in practical healthcare settings. This approach allows their valuable knowledge to find immediate applications, enhancing patient care quality and potentially even saving lives. Nursing roles are varied, and the need for healthcare professionals with specialized knowledge in areas such as cardiology is ever-increasing. This is particularly true in areas like Wyoming, where the population distribution can mean access to specialized healthcare can be limited. Subsequently, online nursing programs and specifically tailored courses are available to help professionals transition into these roles. For those interested in making this career transition or seeking further professional development in nursing, they might consider some of the best online nursing programs like those available in Wyoming. These programs offer flexible and comprehensive training that caters to various specializations in the nursing field. You can browse an extensive list of these programs here. This transition does not mean leaving research entirely. Many nursing roles, particularly in the academic field, can combine both practical and research aspects. This ensures continuous development in the medical field, and the findings can directly contribute to enhancing healthcare practices. Therefore, it's a win-win move for both the researchers and society.
