Overview

Top Research Topics at Antiviral Therapy?

The journal aims to foster the development of research in Virology, Internal medicine, Immunology, Viral load and Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Most of the Virology studies addressed also intersect with Drug resistance. The work on Internal medicine tackled in Antiviral Therapy brings together disciplines like Gastroenterology, Ribavirin and Oncology.

Ribavirin research featured in Antiviral Therapy incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Hepatitis C and Hepacivirus. Many of the studies tackled connect Immunology with a similar field of study like Genotype. The research on Viral load featured in Antiviral Therapy combines topics in other fields like Pharmacotherapy and Antiretroviral therapy.

Research on Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) presented in it focuses, in particular, on Sida and Lentivirus. It explores research in Reverse-transcriptase inhibitor alongside concepts in Pharmacology and other areas of study in Lopinavir. Antiviral Therapy connects research in Viral disease with the related topic of Immunopathology.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Antiviral Therapy:

The most cited articles primarily focus on research topics in Virology, Immunology, Internal medicine, Viral disease and Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). While the primary focus in the most cited publications is Virology, they also dissect topics surrounding Drug resistance and HIV drug resistance and Genotype as a whole. The journal articles with studies in Immunology featured incorporate elements of Adipose tissue and Pharmacotherapy.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Virus
  • Gene

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The foci of the journal are Internal medicine, Virology, HSL and HSV, Virus and Retrospective cohort study. Research on Internal medicine addressed in it frequently intersections with the field of Gastroenterology. While the journal focused on Virology, it was also able to explore topics like Oseltamivir and Enzyme.

Aside from discussions in HSL and HSV, Antiviral Therapy also deals with the subject of Traditional medicine which intersects with Gene disciplines. The journal explores Virus concepts, specifically Cd4 cell count but expands to research in Sub saharan. The concepts on Retrospective cohort study presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Randomized controlled trial, Proportional hazards model, Coronaviridae, Hazard ratio and Ritonavir.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • COVID-19 and hepatitis B infection. (2 citations)
  • The protease inhibitor lopinavir, boosted with ritonavir, as treatment for COVID-19: a rapid review. (1 citations)
  • Early low-molecular-weight heparin administration is associated with shorter time to SARS-CoV-2 swab negativity. (1 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 Antiviral Therapy (based on the number of publications) are:

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing in Antiviral Therapy (based on the number of publications) are:

  • French Institute of Health and Medical Research (68 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • University of Milan (58 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • University of Amsterdam (55 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Carlos III Health Institute (53 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition,
  • Johns Hopkins University (46 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition.

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

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, 13.04% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 30.00% of all publications and 40.00% 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.
