American Journal of Physiology - Cell Physiology

Top Research Topics at American Journal of Physiology-cell Physiology?

American Journal of Physiology-cell Physiology primarily tackles Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Biochemistry, Cell biology and Biophysics. It tackles issues in Internal medicine, particularly in the topics of Calcium, Skeletal muscle, Myocyte, Muscle contraction and Vascular smooth muscle. Muscle contraction research discussed connects with the study of Myosin.

Endocrinology research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Receptor and Protein kinase C. The in-depth study on Biochemistry also explores topics in the intersecting field of Molecular biology. Molecular biology study tackled is connected to the field of Gene expression.

The concepts on Cell biology presented in American Journal of Physiology-cell Physiology can also apply to other research fields, including Endothelial stem cell, Cell culture and Epithelium. American Journal of Physiology-cell Physiology connects the study in Endothelial stem cell with the closely related area of Endothelium. The research on Biophysics tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Electrophysiology, Sodium and Anatomy.

Research areas of the most cited articles at American Journal of Physiology-cell Physiology:

Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Biochemistry, Cell biology and Biophysics are the main subjects of interest in the published articles. While work presented in the published papers provide substantial information on Internal medicine, it also covers topics in Endothelial stem cell, Molecular biology and Gene expression. Issues in Endocrinology were discussed in the most cited papers, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Receptor and Calcium.

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

• Gene
• Internal medicine
• Enzyme

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The discussions in the journal mainly cover the fields of Cell biology, Internal medicine, Skeletal muscle, Endocrinology and Mitochondrion. The Cell biology works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Inflammation and Cell. Studies on Inflammation discussed in American Journal of Physiology-cell Physiology link to the field of Sepsis.

While the primary focus in it is Skeletal muscle, it also dissects topics surrounding Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Muscular dystrophy as a whole. The work tackled in American Journal of Physiology-cell Physiology goes beyond the discipline of Endocrinology as it also encompasses Intracellular. The journal holds forums on Mitochondrion that merges themes from other disciplines such as Cellular homeostasis and Organelle.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Mitochondrial metabolic manipulation by SARS-CoV-2 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with COVID-19. (27 citations)
• Adipose tissue inflammation and metabolic dysfunction in obesity. (11 citations)
• Soluble ACE2 as a potential therapy for COVID-19. (10 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.

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, 1.18% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 12.50% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.55% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.67% of all publications and 64.29% 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.
