Overview

Top Research Topics at AMB Express?

The journal investigates areas of study like Biochemistry, Microbiology, Food science, Bacteria and Fermentation. Enzyme, Escherichia coli, Gene, Yeast and Substrate (chemistry) are among the concentrations of Biochemistry that garnered much attention in it. It explores research in Escherichia coli and the adjacent study of Recombinant DNA.

The journal explores the study of Gene to improve our understanding of the broader topic of Genetics. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a major topic of Yeast research. Some problems in Microbiology that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Staphylococcus aureus, Strain (chemistry) and Biofilm.

The journal explores issues in Food science which can be linked to other research areas like Biomass, Microorganism and Botany. Ethanol fuel is a focus of the presented Fermentation works and it dives deep in Ethanol fuel.

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, 6.47% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 14.62% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.69% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.62% of all publications and 63.08% 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.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

For students studying Chemistry in the USA, exploring related online degrees and career pathways can open diverse opportunities. One promising area is healthcare, where advanced nursing roles often intersect with scientific knowledge. Finding the easiest nurse practitioner program can help chemistry graduates transition into healthcare leadership roles efficiently.

Another career to consider is medical billing and coding, which supports the healthcare industry’s administrative side. While some debate whether is medical coding a dying career, it remains a viable option for those interested in combining attention to detail with healthcare knowledge.

Nurses looking to advance from an RN to a BSN without extensive clinical hours will find valuable options by exploring rn to bsn no clinicals programs. These may appeal to chemistry degree holders who want to pivot into patient care with flexible study options.

For those aiming to reach the highest levels of nursing practice, accelerated programs like the 1 year msn to dnp program offer a fast track to doctoral qualifications. These online degrees complement a chemistry background by deepening clinical expertise and leadership skills.
