Overview

Top Research Topics at Biological Rhythm Research?

The concepts of Circadian rhythm, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Rhythm and Animal science are tackled in Biological Rhythm Research. Topics in Circadian rhythm were tackled in line with various other fields like Zoology, Ecology, Locomotor activity, Period (gene) and photoperiodism. Internal medicine, which encompasses Melatonin, Hormone, Chronobiology, Circadian clock and Morning, is the main subject of Biological Rhythm Research.

It dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Endocrinology and Nocturnal. Some problems in Rhythm that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Entrainment (chronobiology), Anatomy and Darkness.

  • Circadian rhythm (41.91%)
  • Internal medicine (33.88%)
  • Endocrinology (31.83%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Procedures for numerical analysis of circadian rhythms. (459 citations)
  • The Lomb-Scargle Periodogram in Biological Rhythm Research: Analysis of Incomplete and Unequally Spaced Time-Series (256 citations)
  • The Relationships between Sleep-Wake Cycle and Academic Performance in Medical Students (160 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Biological Rhythm Research:

The journal articles primarily tackle Circadian rhythm, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Rhythm and Ecology. The most cited papers focus on Circadian rhythm but sometimes tackle the closely related topic of Nocturnal which is concerned with Circadian clock. Physiology and Serotonin are some topics wherein Endocrinology research discussed in the journal papers has an impact.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Ecology
  • Gene

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The main research concerns discussed in the journal are Animal science, Circadian rhythm, Veterinary medicine, Zoology and Chronotype. Biological Rhythm Research holds forums on Animal science that merges themes from other disciplines such as Thermoregulation, Feed conversion ratio, Calcium and Feeding behavior. Topics in Circadian rhythm explored in Biological Rhythm Research were investigated in conjunction with research in Melatonin, Rhythm and Cell biology.

Biological Rhythm Research focuses on Rhythm as well as the interrelated topic of Locomotor activity. Chronotype research presented in Biological Rhythm Research encompasses a variety of subjects, including Sleep quality and Clinical psychology. The Sleep quality study featured falls within the wider field of Sleep in non-human animals.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Does organic selenium supplement affect the thermoregulatory responses of dairy goats (8 citations)
  • Backyard poultry farming in India: A tool for nutritional security and women empowerment (7 citations)
  • Thermoregulatory behavior of dairy cows submitted to bedding temperature variations in Compost barn systems (7 citations)

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, 9.55% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 33.54% 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 19.88% of all publications and 39.75% 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.
