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, 17.36% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 42.02% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.04% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.97% of all publications and 36.97% 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 Pathways in Medicine

Healthcare is a vast field and there are numerous career paths that an aspiring doctor can choose. Apart from being a medical practitioner, there are areas like research and education which also require the skills of a trained physician. A research physician contributes to the field of medicine by conducting studies and experiments that can help validate or invalidate medical practices or assumptions. It opens the door for new treatments and protocols that can substantially improve patient outcomes. For instance, these physicians could contribute to a range of research areas covered by the World Journal for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery, conducting research on topics such as internal medicine, cardiology, cardiac surgery, and heart disease. If you're considering this path, it's important to build a solid foundation of knowledge in these areas, which may include pursuing additional education. A good starting point might be to consider one of the online nursing programs to gain experience in patient care while broadening your academic knowledge of the field. Our partner site provides an extensive list of the best online nursing programs in Montana, which can provide a more flexible study schedule to balance with current professional commitments. Of course, it's equally important to consider that a career in research is often pursued in conjunction with patient care and teaching assignments. This allows for a unique perspective that combines practical, hands-on experience with a deep understanding of the science that underlies medicine. Remember, your career in medicine can be as unique as you are. Whether you choose patient care, research, or teaching, you will play a vital role in improving the health and well-being of those around you. Taking the time to explore all options and choose the path that best matches your skills, interests, and career goals is key to finding success in the field of medicine.
