Research areas of the most cited articles at Acta Microbiologica Et Immunologica Hungarica:

The most cited publications are mainly concerned with subjects like Microbiology, Biochemistry, Immunology, Botany and Food science. The journal publications facilitate discussions on Microbiology that incorporate concepts from other fields like Staphylococcus aureus and Virology. While Botany is the focus of the published papers, it also provides insights into the studies of Microorganism and Horticulture.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The primary areas of discussion in the journal are Microbiology, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Colistin, Broth microdilution and Internal medicine. The journal focuses on Microbiology but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Multilocus sequence typing and Polymerase chain reaction. The overlapping concepts between Tigecycline and Tetracycline, Doxycycline and Minocycline are the key highlights of Colistin study.

The journal deals with Broth microdilution in conjunction with Doripenem and similar fields in DNA sequencing and Drug resistance. Some problems in Internal medicine that were presented in Acta Microbiologica Et Immunologica Hungarica overlapped with concepts under Bartonella henselae IgM, Bartonella henselae, Antibody and Differential diagnosis. The work on Antimicrobial tackled in it brings together disciplines like Bacteremia, Amoxicillin and Antibiotics.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Effects of different decontaminating solutions used for the treatment of peri-implantitis on the growth of Porphyromonas gingivalis-an in vitro study. (5 citations)
  • Decreased carO gene expression and OXA-type carbapenemases among extensively drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strains isolated from burn patients in Tehran, Iran (4 citations)
  • Association between biofilm-production and antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli isolates: A laboratory-based case study and a literature review. (1 citations)

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

The top authors publishing in Acta Microbiologica Et Immunologica Hungarica (based on the number of publications) are:

The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.

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, 6.82% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 21.95% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 17.07% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 24.39% of all publications and 36.59% 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.
