Overview

Top Research Topics at Rivista Urologia?

Rivista Urologia explores disciplines such as Surgery, Urology, Internal medicine, Radiology and Prostate cancer. The work on Surgery tackled in Rivista Urologia brings together disciplines like Urinary system, Nephrectomy and MEDLINE. In the journal, Bladder cancer, Prostatectomy and Retrospective cohort study are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Urology research.

Rivista Urologia connects research in Bladder cancer with the related topic of Carcinoma. The study on Carcinoma presented in it intersects with subjects under the field of Renal cell carcinoma. The in-depth study on Internal medicine also explores topics in the intersecting field of Oncology.

While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Prostate cancer, it also covered topics in Biopsy and Prostate.

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 2019 edition, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 0.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 100.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% 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 Path and Career Opportunities for Urology Researchers

Graduate students and seasoned researchers alike need to keep track of potential career options in their chosen research field. For those involved in urology research, there are several opportunities in both academic institutions and the healthcare industry.

Academic institutions like universities and dedicated research institutes are always in need of skilled researchers to drive forward the body of knowledge in urology. In fact, some of the top 10 best nursing schools in Pennsylvania have urology departments that constantly require talented researchers. Teaching positions also go hand-in-hand with research roles in these settings, exposing researchers to the academic environment beyond just their research.

The healthcare industry, particularly pharmaceutical and biotech companies, has a variety of roles for urology researchers. These could range from clinical trial positions to roles in product development or even regulatory affairs. Participating in the development and authorization of a new urological treatment represent attractive options for those who wish to apply their scientific knowledge in a more commercially-oriented setting.

The versatility of a career in urology research should be of interest to those passionate about advancements in the field. There are multiple paths to explore, each offering its own opportunities and rewards.
