The journal generally zeroes in on subjects such as Traditional medicine, Pharmacology, Internal medicine, Alternative medicine and Family medicine. BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine holds forums on Traditional medicine that merges themes from other disciplines such as Antimicrobial, Phytotherapy and Antioxidant. The presentations focused mostly on Antioxidant in an attempt to further explore topics in Biochemistry.
BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine facilitates discussions on Pharmacology that incorporate concepts from other fields like Oxidative stress, Inflammation, Apoptosis, Toxicity and In vivo. The Apoptosis works featured in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine incorporate elements from Cell culture, Cancer research, Cell growth, Cancer cell and Molecular biology. Topics in Internal medicine were tackled in line with various other fields like Diabetes mellitus, Endocrinology and Gastroenterology.
The studies in Alternative medicine featured incorporate elements of Cross-sectional study, Physical therapy and MEDLINE. Topics in Family medicine explored in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine were investigated in conjunction with research in Health care and Integrative medicine. While Randomized controlled trial is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Acupuncture, Placebo and Clinical trial.
The most cited publications aim to foster the development of research in Traditional medicine, Pharmacology, Internal medicine, Antioxidant and Alternative medicine. While work presented in the journal papers provide substantial information on Traditional medicine, it also covers topics in DPPH, Antimicrobial and Phytotherapy. Aside from discussions in Pharmacology, the most cited articles also deal with the subject of Apoptosis which intersects with Cell growth disciplines.
The topics of Pharmacology, Integrative medicine, Medical education, Psychological intervention and Systematic review are the focal point of discussions in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine. It tackles research works in Pharmacology as well as Umbelliferone. The journal explores issues in Integrative medicine which can be linked to other research areas like Qualitative research, Health care, Implementation research and Opinion leadership.
In it, Needs assessment, Relevance (information retrieval), Curriculum and General practice are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Medical education research. The concepts on Psychological intervention presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Meta-analysis, Enema, Disease, Evidence-based medicine and Traditional Chinese medicine. In addition to Systematic review research, the journal aims to explore topics under Secondary research and Intensive care medicine.
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 BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine (based on the number of publications) are:
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 BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine (based on the number of publications) are:
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.
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, 11.11% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 37.50% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.50% of all publications and 50.00% were from other institutions.
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.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
