BMC Plant Biology mostly deals with topics like Gene, Genetics, Botany, Arabidopsis and Cell biology. BMC Plant Biology focuses on different Gene studies like Transcriptome, Gene expression, Gene family, Regulation of gene expression and Gene expression profiling. RNA-Seq is a focus of the presented Transcriptome works and it dives deep in RNA-Seq.
BMC Plant Biology primarily discusses Genetics topics, particularly Genome, Quantitative trait locus, Candidate gene, Locus (genetics) and Single-nucleotide polymorphism. BMC Plant Biology links adjacent topics like Genome with Phylogenetic tree. BMC Plant Biology addresses concerns in Botany which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Plant disease resistance, Abscisic acid and Abiotic stress.
The work on Arabidopsis presented is anchored in Mutant and Biochemistry. Biosynthesis is the primary subject of Biochemistry works presented in it. In addition to Cell biology research, it aims to explore topics under Transcription factor and Auxin.
The journal articles facilitate discussions on Genetics, Botany, Gene, Arabidopsis and Biochemistry. The published articles facilitate discussions on Botany that incorporate concepts from other fields like Transcriptome, Abscisic acid, Abiotic stress and Cell biology. The most cited articles cover various topics on Gene such as Regulation of gene expression, Gene expression profiling, Gene expression, Gene family and Transcription factor.
The journal focuses on Gene, Genetics, Transcriptome, Horticulture and Genome. It focuses on Gene research as part of the broader topic of Biochemistry. While Transcriptome is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Plant hormone, Metabolome and Botany.
BMC Plant Biology explores research in Photosynthesis and overlapping concepts in Chlorophyll to expand the discourse in Horticulture. The journal focuses on Genome but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Computational biology and Phylogenetic tree. Topics in Cell biology explored in BMC Plant Biology were investigated in conjunction with research in Transcription factor and Drought tolerance.
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 Plant Biology (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 Plant Biology (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, 5.24% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 24.78% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 12.83% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.81% of all publications and 45.58% 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.
