Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology?

Journal of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is organized to address concerns in the fields of Biochemistry, Molecular biology, Cell biology, Enzyme and Gene. Amino acid, Enzyme assay, Escherichia coli, Peptide sequence and Mutant studies are all carried out as a component of the study in Biochemistry presented. The work on Molecular biology tackled in it brings together disciplines like Complementary DNA, Cell culture, Recombinant DNA and DNA.

In the journal, Apoptosis and Programmed cell death are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Cell biology research. Discussions in the journal are anchored in the subject of Apoptosis and the similar topic of Cancer research. The studies in Cancer research featured incorporate elements of Cancer cell and Cancer.

The discussions in Journal of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology mainly cover the fields of Cell biology, Cancer research, Cancer, Signal transduction and Internal medicine. The work on Cell biology presented in the journal focuses on Stem cell in particular. While the journal focused on Cancer research, it was also able to explore topics like Cancer cell, Apoptosis, Mesenchymal stem cell and Immune system.

Journal of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology focuses on Signal transduction but sometimes tackles the closely related topic of Phosphorylation which is concerned with Inflammation. Topics in Internal medicine explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Endocrinology and Gene expression.

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 Journal of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Soo Young Choi (93 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • Sung-Woo Cho (54 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,

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, 1.14% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 51.72% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 14.94% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 28.74% of all publications and 4.60% 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.
