Overview

Top Research Topics at Annals of Clinical Microbiology?

Annals of Clinical Microbiology generally zeroes in on subjects such as Microbiology, Virology, Internal medicine, Blood culture and Bacteremia. While work presented in it provided substantial information on Microbiology, it also covered topics in Acinetobacter baumannii, Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and Escherichia coli. Topics in Virology were tackled in line with various other fields like Multiplex polymerase chain reaction, Polymerase chain reaction, Real-time polymerase chain reaction and Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

The journal explores research in Internal medicine and the adjacent study of Gastroenterology. Annals of Clinical Microbiology focuses on Blood culture but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Blood volume, Sepsis and Intensive care medicine. Most of the Antibiotic resistance studies addressed also intersect with Drug resistance.

  • The Prevalence and Characteristics of Bacteria Causing Acute Diarrhea in Korea, 2012 (10 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Annals of Clinical Microbiology:

The most cited articles are organized to address concerns in the fields of Microbiology, Infection control, Family medicine, University medical and Medical laboratory. Feces is a focus of the presented Microbiology works in the published papers and they dives deep in Feces. While the published articles focused on Infection control, they were also able to explore topics like Clostridium difficile, Pathogen, Antimicrobial, Intensive care and Internal medicine.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Bacteria
  • Antibiotics

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Microbiology, Escherichia coli, Influenza a, Virology and Fluorescence immunoassay. The work on Microbiology tackled in Annals of Clinical Microbiology brings together disciplines like Urinary system and Clinical pathology. Annals of Clinical Microbiology facilitated discussions that integrated Influenza a and Comparative evaluation.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • The Impact of Social Distancing on the Transmission of Acute Respiratory Viruses during the COVID-19 Pandemic (0 citations)
  • Comparative Evaluation of the STANDARD F Influenza A/B FIA Test with the Sofia Influenza A+B FIA and SD BIOLINE Influenza Ag A/B/A(H1N1) tests for Influenza A Virus Detection (0 citations)
  • 2차 의료기관에서 혈액배양 지표 향상을 위한 채혈자 교육 효과 (0 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 Annals of Clinical Microbiology (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Sunjoo Kim (25 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Kyungwon Lee (18 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Dongeun Yong (15 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Jeong Hwan Shin (15 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition,
  • Chulhun L. Chang (15 papers) absent at the last edition.

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

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing in Annals of Clinical Microbiology (based on the number of publications) are:

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, 100.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, nan% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another nan% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included nan% of all publications and nan% 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.
