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, 12.50% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 50.79% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 12.70% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 25.40% of all publications and 11.11% 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.

Implications and Applications in Nursing

An essential component that the journal often explores is the significant role of nurses in healthcare settings. Specifically speaking, the research shared in the journal has profound implications for nursing, shaping nursing practices, and guiding the formulation of healthcare policies. Nursing practices typically involve performing technical tasks and holistic care. To provide quality care, nurses must be proficient and knowledgeable in their field. They must work under rigorous certification standards set by the respective board of nursing in their region. For example, the guidelines and the certification processes set up by the Wyoming nursing license requirements board. To be part of the nursing workforce in Wyoming, one must meet the Wyoming nursing license requirements set by the board of nursing requirements. Apart from qualification and licensing, nurses are also expected to engage in evidence-based practices which remain a recurring topic in the journal. These studies are crucial in informing policies and guidelines that determine the standard of care in nursing and other healthcare disciplines. In conclusion, the research published in the journal often provides a wealth of knowledge which can be applied practically to improve nursing standards and quality of care. Studying the most recent research in the journal could also prove helpful for aspiring nurses in understanding and adjusting to the ever-evolving requirements and practices of the nursing profession.
