The studies on Tissue engineering discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Biomaterial, Nanotechnology, Electrospinning, Biophysics and Extracellular matrix.

Topics in Biophysics explored in Biomedical Materials were investigated in conjunction with research in Cell culture and Cell adhesion. While Biocompatibility is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Chitosan and Composite material. Research on Composite material presented in Biomedical Materials focuses, in particular, on Porosity, Coating and Simulated body fluid.

Biomedical Materials focuses on Chemical engineering but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Scanning electron microscope, Composite number, Polymer chemistry and Polymer. Research on Mesenchymal stem cell presented in Biomedical Materials concerns the broader topic of Cell biology. The in-depth study on Bone regeneration also explores topics in the intersecting field of Bone tissue.

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

• Composite material
• Internal medicine
• Organic chemistry

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal mostly deals with topics like Biomedical engineering, Biocompatibility, Tissue engineering, Scaffold and Regeneration (biology). Topics in Biomedical engineering were tackled in line with various other fields like Wound healing, Osseointegration and Cartilage. The study of Biocompatibility encompasses disciplines such as In vivo, as well as fields such as In vitro and Pharmacology, all of which overlap with one another.

Biomedical Materials explores topics in Tissue engineering which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Adhesion, Biophysics, Self-healing hydrogels and Gelatin. The research on Scaffold tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Nanofiber, Matrix (biology) and Hyaluronic acid. While it focused on Chemical engineering, it was also able to explore topics like Ultimate tensile strength, Composite number and Microstructure.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Nanofibrous scaffolds of ε-polycaprolactone containing Sr/Se-hydroxyapatite/ graphene oxide for tissue engineering applications (32 citations)
• Biocompatibility of nanomaterials and their immunological properties (8 citations)
• Ionic dissolution products of Cerium-doped bioactive glass nanoparticles promote cellular osteogenic differentiation and extracellular matrix formation of human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stromal cells. (6 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, 4.33% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 18.10% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.69% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.57% of all publications and 60.63% 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.
