Overview

Top Research Topics at Translational cancer research?

Translational cancer research focuses on Internal medicine, Cancer research, Oncology, Cancer and Lung cancer. The work tackled in Translational cancer research goes beyond the discipline of Internal medicine as it also encompasses Gastroenterology. The journal connects research in Gastroenterology with the related topic of Hepatocellular carcinoma.

The work on Cancer research tackled in it brings together disciplines like Cell growth, Apoptosis, Immunology, Metastasis and Colorectal cancer. The Immunology study tackling the subject of Immune system is the focus of the journal. It addresses concerns in Oncology which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Stage (cooking), Surgery, Meta-analysis and Prostate cancer.

Lung cancer works presented in the journal have a specific focus on Non small cell.

  • Internal medicine (32.91%)
  • Cancer research (30.73%)
  • Oncology (26.04%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • DNA double strand break repair via non-homologous end-joining (357 citations)
  • Cancer biomarker discovery and validation (265 citations)

  • Cancer
  • Internal medicine
  • Gene

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Cancer research, Internal medicine, Oncology, Radiology and Meta-analysis. Translational cancer research focuses on Cancer research but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Lung, Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, Non small cell, Lung cancer and Adenocarcinoma. It facilitates discussions in Cancer and Chemotherapy as part of the larger field of Internal medicine, however, it also tackles fields such as In patient.

The research on Oncology tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Colorectal cancer and Immunotherapy.

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, 99.28% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 66.67% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 33.33% of all publications and 0.00% 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 Paths in Translational Cancer Research

To establish a successful career in Translational Cancer Research, one must meet certain educational and professional requirements in the field. This typically starts with a bachelor’s degree in a relevant field such as Biologyor Biochemistry. Following the undergraduate degree, pursuing a master’s degree or a Ph.D. in Oncology, Bioinformatics or any related disciplines is usually the next step. Concurrent research experience is highly beneficial and is often necessary for career advancements. Post-graduate opportunities include roles in research institutions, pharmaceutical companies or academia where professionals can work on various research topics such as lung cancer, Non small cell, colorectal cancer, immunotherapies, and more. Moreover, interdisciplinary fields such as Oncology and Gastroenterology offer expanded opportunities for research and career growth. Furthermore, certain states in the U.S. require additional licensure for roles in clinical settings. For example, in North Carolina, specific nursing roles might require meeting the {anchor}north carolina nursing license requirements to practice in certain medical and research facilities. Naturally, professionals engaged in translational cancer research must remain abreast with the most recent developments and discoveries in the field. This continued learning can be achieved through attending relevant seminars, workshops, and through the publication and perusal of research articles in accredited journals such as in Translational Cancer Research. To conclude, by combining appropriate educational qualifications, practical experience, and keeping up to date with industry advancements, professionals can shape a promising career path in Translational Cancer Research.
