Overview

Top Research Topics at Biochimie?

The objective of Biochimie is to combine knowledge in the areas of Biochemistry, Molecular biology, Enzyme, Cell biology and Stereochemistry. Biochemistry studies presented include Amino acid, Escherichia coli, Peptide sequence, RNA and Transfer RNA. Some problems in Molecular biology that were presented in Biochimie overlapped with concepts under Gene and DNA.

  • Biochemistry (36.33%)
  • Molecular biology (16.02%)
  • Enzyme (9.83%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Bacteriocins of lactic acid bacteria (1402 citations)
  • WWW-query: an on-line retrieval system for biological sequence banks. (1359 citations)
  • Toxic metal accumulation, responses to exposure and mechanisms of tolerance in plants (1347 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Biochimie:

The published articles aim to foster the development of research in Biochemistry, Cell biology, Genetics, Molecular biology and Internal medicine. The study on Biochemistry presented in the journal articles is investigated in conjunction with research in Stereochemistry. Most of the works presented in the journal publications deal with Cell biology but they intersect with the subject of Apoptosis.

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Internal medicine

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Biochimie generally zeroes in on subjects such as Cell biology, Biochemistry, Enzyme, Computational biology and Cancer research. In it, Messenger RNA, Transcription (biology), Gene and Gene knockdown are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Cell biology research. Recombinant DNA, Amino acid, Reductase and Cofactor are among the concentrations of Biochemistry that garnered much attention in the journal.

  • Protein structural heterogeneity: A hypothesis for the basis of proteolytic recognition by the main protease of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. (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.

The top authors publishing in Biochimie (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Jean-Pierre Ebel (36 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Jacques Polonovski (28 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Paul Mandel (25 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Guy Dirheimer (25 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Richard Giegé (24 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 top affiliations publishing in Biochimie (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Centre national de la recherche scientifique (800 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • French Institute of Health and Medical Research (549 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • University of Paris (307 papers) published 6 papers at the last edition, 3 less than at the previous edition,
  • Pasteur Institute (218 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Russian Academy of Sciences (186 papers) published 7 papers at the last edition, 10 less than 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, 3.30% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 9.76% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.83% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 10.24% of all publications and 73.17% 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.
