Overview

Top Research Topics at Asian Pacific Journal of Allergy and Immunology?

The main research concerns discussed in Asian Pacific Journal of Allergy and Immunology are Immunology, Internal medicine, Asthma, Allergy and Antibody. The journal facilitated presentations on Immunology research, particularly Immunoglobulin E, Antigen, Immune system, Allergen and Sensitization. It focuses on Antigen as well as the interrelated topic of Microbiology.

The Retrospective cohort study studies presented in the journal fall under the field of Internal medicine, but it also has connections to other fields such as In patient. The concepts on Asthma presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Anesthesia, Disease and Pediatrics. The research on Allergy discussed in Asian Pacific Journal of Allergy and Immunology draws on the closely related field of Dermatology.

The journal addresses concerns in Antibody which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Molecular biology and Virology. The Virology research dealing mostly with Virus is the focus of the journal.

The study of Population study and how it intertwines with concepts under Cohort, Clinical effectiveness, Elimination diet, Multivariate statistics and Calprotectin were explored in the presented Internal medicine research. Some problems in Allergy that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Immunoglobulin E and Sensitization.

Asthma research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Respiratory disease, Genotype, Atopic dermatitis, Prospective cohort study and Risk factor. It holds forums on Gastroenterology that merges themes from other disciplines such as Hepatitis B, Desensitization (medicine), Viral hepatitis, CXCL10 and Treatment adherence.

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, 7.94% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 34.48% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 3.45% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.24% of all publications and 44.83% 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.
