Top Research Topics at Annals of Human Genetics?

The main points discussed in Annals of Human Genetics deals with Genetics, Allele, Gene, Locus (genetics) and Haplotype. It dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Genetics and Molecular biology. The work on Molecular biology tackled in it brings together disciplines like Chromosome, Biochemistry and Isozyme.

The journal focuses on different Gene studies like Phenotype and Exon. The study on Locus (genetics) presented in it intersects with subjects under the field of Genetic linkage. Many of the studies tackled connect Genetic linkage with a similar field of study like Linkage (software).

Research on Single-nucleotide polymorphism presented in it focuses, in particular, on SNP and Genetic association. The journal investigates Genetic association research which frequently intersects with Genome-wide association study. The Genotype study featured in the journal draws parallels with the field of Internal medicine.

Genetics, Allele, Statistics, Gene and Locus (genetics) are the main subjects of interest in the most cited articles. The study of Genetics in the published papers encompasses disciplines such as Molecular biology, as well as fields such as Isozyme, all of which overlap with one another. The journal articles address concerns in Allele which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Phenotype and Internal medicine.

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

• Gene
• Internal medicine
• Mutation

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The main research concerns discussed in the journal are Genetics, Gene, Allele, Internal medicine and Disease. Topics like Haplotype, Compound heterozygosity, Exome sequencing, Chromosomal region and Locus (genetics) are tackled as part of the discussions on Genetics. The journal explores topics in Gene which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Isocitrate dehydrogenase and Glioma.

The research on Allele featured in Annals of Human Genetics combines topics in other fields like Gene cluster, Polymerase, Genetic diversity and Phylogenetic tree. While Internal medicine is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Bardet–Biedl syndrome, Endocrinology and Cardiology. The research on Disease tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Genetic counseling, In silico and Skeletal disorder.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• H-MAGMA, inheriting a shaky statistical foundation, yields excess false positives. (3 citations)
• Mini-review: Role of the PI3K/Akt pathway and tyrosine phosphatases in Alzheimer's disease susceptibility. (3 citations)
• A role for the MEGF6 gene in predisposition to osteoporosis. (2 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, 5.71% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 9.09% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 9.09% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 6.06% of all publications and 75.76% 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.
