Overview

Top Research Topics at Biochemical Genetics?

Biochemical Genetics mainly tackles studies in Genetics, Molecular biology, Biochemistry, Gene and Allele. Locus (genetics), Human genetics, Genetic variation, Genotype and Allele frequency are among the concentrations of Genetics that garnered much attention in the journal. Biochemical Genetics explores research in Locus (genetics) and the adjacent study of Genetic linkage.

The journal explores research in Zoology and overlapping concepts in Ecology to expand the discourse in Genetic variation. Topics in Molecular biology were tackled in line with various other fields like Phenotype, Isoelectric focusing, Esterase, Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Inbred strain. Biochemistry studies presented in the journal focus on topics such as Enzyme, Isozyme, Mutant, Drosophila melanogaster and Alcohol dehydrogenase.

The Enzyme research presented places emphasis on topics like Enzyme assay and Dehydrogenase. Biochemical Genetics focuses on different Gene studies like Chromosome, Exon, Gene mapping, Structural gene and Gene expression. Allele research presented is mostly focused on the subject of Polymorphism (computer science).

  • Genome size and the proportion of repeated nucleotide sequence DNA in plants. (496 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Biochemical Genetics:

The published articles generally zeroe in on subjects such as Genetics, Biochemistry, Molecular biology, Gene and Allele. While work presented in the published papers provide substantial information on Molecular biology, it also covers topics in Lactate dehydrogenase, Heterozygote advantage, Starch gel electrophoresis, Esterase and Embryo. While the journal publications focused on Allele, they were also able to explore topics like Inbred strain and Genotype.

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The aim of the journal is to expand the discussion of research in Cancer research, Gene, Apoptosis, Genetics and Downregulation and upregulation. Biochemical Genetics primarily dealt with subjects of interest in Cancer research but also expanded the discussion to include studies in

  • Cell growth which intersects with area such as Cancer,
  • Gene knockdown that connect with fields like Viability assay and Cell migration,
  • microRNA that intertwine with fields like Cell biology, Messenger RNA and RNA.. The studies in Apoptosis featured incorporate elements of Luciferase, Molecular biology, Flow cytometry and Cell culture.

Genome, Phylogenetic tree and Single-nucleotide polymorphism are all aspects of Genetics discussed in Biochemical Genetics. The journal explores topics in Human genetics which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Computational biology and Allele. The study of Allele encompasses disciplines such as Genetic model, as well as fields such as Odds ratio, all of which overlap with one another.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Vitamin D and Genetic Susceptibility to Multiple Sclerosis (12 citations)
  • Naringin Combined with NF-κB Inhibition and Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Induces Apoptotic Cell Death via Oxidative Stress and the PERK/eIF2α/ATF4/CHOP Axis in HT29 Colon Cancer Cells. (6 citations)
  • Identification and Transcriptional Analysis of Zinc Finger-Homeodomain (ZF-HD) Family Genes in Cucumber (3 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 Biochemical Genetics (based on the number of publications) are:

  • John L. VandeBerg (27 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Sezai Ercisli (21 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Ya-Ping Zhang (20 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • James E. Womack (18 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Frank H. Ruddle (17 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 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, 14.09% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 3.12% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 3.12% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 1.56% of all publications and 92.19% 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.
