Archives of Toxicology

Top Research Topics at Archives of Toxicology?

Archives of Toxicology focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Biochemistry, Toxicity and Pharmacology. Kidney, Excretion, Oral administration, Urine and Oxidative stress are among the areas of Internal medicine tackled. The Kidney works, particularly on Nephrotoxicity are tackled in it.

It focused on Oxidative stress research but expanded to cover Reactive oxygen species. Studies on Biochemistry discussed in it link to the field of Molecular biology. The study on Toxicity presented in Archives of Toxicology intersects with the topics under Toxicology.

Some problems in Pharmacology that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under In vitro and In vivo. The study on Metabolism presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Metabolite. Metabolite research discussed connects with the study of Chromatography.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Archives of Toxicology:

The published papers primarily focus on research topics in Internal medicine, Biochemistry, Endocrinology, Toxicity and Pharmacology. The published articles explore issues in Toxicity which can be linked to other research areas like Toxicology and Carcinogen. The published papers focus on Pharmacology but sometimes tackle the closely related topic of In vivo which is concerned with In vitro.

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

• Internal medicine
• Enzyme
• Gene

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The concepts of Pharmacology, Toxicity, In vivo, Pharmacology toxicology and Cell biology are tackled in Archives of Toxicology. The studies in Pharmacology featured incorporate elements of Metabolite and Urine. The research on In vivo discussed in Archives of Toxicology draws on the closely related field of In vitro.

Discussions in Archives of Toxicology are anchored in the subject of In vitro and the similar topic of Cell culture. It explores research in Cell biology and the adjacent study of Oxidative stress. The study of Oxidative stress encompasses disciplines such as Apoptosis, as well as fields such as Cancer research, all of which overlap with one another.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Current EU regulatory requirements for the assessment of chemicals and cosmetic products: challenges and opportunities for introducing new approach methodologies. (8 citations)
• Organophosphorus flame retardants are developmental neurotoxicants in a rat primary brainsphere in vitro model (8 citations)
• In vitro human cell-based TTR-TRβ CALUX assay indicates thyroid hormone transport disruption of short-chain, medium-chain, and long-chain chlorinated paraffins. (7 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, 7.60% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 17.28% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.64% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.52% of all publications and 55.56% 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.
