Anaerobe

Top Research Topics at Anaerobe?

Microbiology, Bacteria, Clostridium difficile, Biochemistry and Anaerobic bacteria are the subjects of interest in Anaerobe. The journal holds forums on Microbiology that merges themes from other disciplines such as 16S ribosomal RNA and Clostridium perfringens. The study on Clostridium perfringens presented in the journal intersects with subjects under the field of Toxin.

In addition to Clostridium difficile research, it aims to explore topics under Immunology, Internal medicine, Diarrhea and Virology. The research on Biochemistry discussed in it draws on the closely related field of Food science. Anaerobic bacteria research discussed connects with the study of Anaerobic exercise.

Metronidazole and Antibiotic resistance are some of the facets of Antibiotics tackled in the journal. Research on Metronidazole addressed in it frequently intersections with the field of Clindamycin. Discussions in it are anchored in the subject of Bacteroides fragilis and the similar topic of Imipenem.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Anaerobe:

The published articles are organized to address concerns in the fields of Microbiology, Bacteria, Biochemistry, Food science and Probiotic. The published papers focus on Microbiology but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as 16S ribosomal RNA and Lactobacillus. Aside from discussions in Bacteria, the journal papers also deal with the subject of Rumen which intersects with Animal science disciplines.

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

• Bacteria
• Internal medicine
• Enzyme

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Anaerobe mainly deals with areas of study such as Microbiology, Clostridioides, Internal medicine, Antibiotics and Bacteria. The work on Microbiology tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Clostridium perfringens, Anaerobic bacteria and Biofilm. Clostridioides research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Genetics, Incidence (epidemiology), Epidemiology, Emergency medicine and Diarrhea.

The studies on Internal medicine discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Gastroenterology, Bacterial vaginosis, Gardnerella vaginalis and Bacteremia. Topics in Bacteria were tackled in line with various other fields like Periodontitis, Metagenomics and Virulence. The journal explores research in Antimicrobial alongside concepts in Antibiotic resistance and other areas of study in Erythromycin and Bacteroides.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Inhibitory effect of LL-37 and human lactoferricin on growth and biofilm formation of anaerobes associated with oral diseases. (6 citations)
• The alterations of microbiota and pathological conditions in the gut of patients with colorectal cancer undergoing chemotherapy. (4 citations)
• Development and application of aerobic, chemically defined media for Dysgonomonas. (4 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, 10.17% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 16.98% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.60% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 11.32% of all publications and 65.09% 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.
