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, 5.26% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 38.89% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 12.96% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 22.22% of all publications and 25.93% 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.

Impact of Education on Urology Practice

One crucial factor that significantly influences the methods, efficacy, and innovations in Urology Practice is the influence of quality education and training. The conceptual comprehension and practical skills acquired through the best educational programs provide a foundation for the topics discussed in Urology Practice and related research.

One of the central educational pathways directly intertwined with topics of Urology Practice is the Nurse Practitioner (NP) degree. With in-depth courses and clinical training in areas such as family medicine, internal medicine, and oncology, nurse practitioners play a pivotal role in the field of Urology. For instance, students who graduate from top np programs in New Hampshire acquire the necessary skills to handle and contribute to research topics related to urinary incontinence, prostate cancer, bladder cancer, chemotherapy, and more.

Moreover, these NP programs offer valuable modules on patient satisfaction, quality management, health information, and risk assessment that were prevalent themes throughout the articles in the Urology Practice journal. Consequently, reinforcing the connection between quality education and the evolution and improvement of Urology Practice. The detailed study of such programs underscores the integral importance of academic and clinical education in the advancement of urology topics and research.
