Cancer Letters

Top Research Topics at Cancer Letters?

Cancer Letters facilitates discussions on Cancer research, Internal medicine, Molecular biology, Endocrinology and Cancer. While Cancer Letters focused on Cancer research, it was also able to explore topics like Cell growth, Cancer cell, Apoptosis, Carcinogenesis and Metastasis. It links adjacent topics like Cell growth with Cell cycle.

Discussions in the journal are anchored in the subject of Apoptosis and the similar topic of Cell biology. The studies on Internal medicine discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Gastroenterology, Oncology and Carcinogen. The concepts on Molecular biology presented in Cancer Letters can also apply to other research fields, including Cell culture and Gene expression, In vitro, Gene, Biochemistry.

The work tackled in Cancer Letters goes beyond the discipline of Cell culture as it also encompasses Cell. The tackled Biochemistry research is interrelated with Pharmacology which concerns subjects like In vivo. Issues in Cancer were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Immunology and Pathology.

The objective of Cancer Letters is to combine knowledge in the areas of Cancer research, Cancer, Cell migration, Metastasis and In vivo. Topics in Cancer research explored in Cancer Letters were investigated in conjunction with research in Cancer stem cell, Messenger RNA, Estrogen receptor, Long non-coding RNA and Sunitinib. Cancer cell is a primary topic of Cancer research in it.

Topics in Cancer cell were tackled in line with various other fields like Apoptosis, Cell cycle, AGR2 and MAPK/ERK pathway, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases. The work on In vivo tackled in Cancer Letters brings together disciplines like In vitro, Gene knockdown, CXCL13, Survival rate and CXCR5. The study of Cell and how it intertwines with concepts under Carcinogenesis were explored in the presented Cell biology research.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Linking cell-surface GRP78 to cancer: From basic research to clinical value of GRP78 antibodies. (0 citations)
• 125I seeds inhibit proliferation and promote apoptosis in cholangiocarcinoma cells by regulating the AGR2-mediated p38 MAPK pathway. (0 citations)
• TEC kinase stabilizes PLK4 to promote liver cancer metastasis. (0 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 2022 edition, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 0.00% 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 57.14% of all publications and 42.86% 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.

Further Statistical Analysis on Cancer Letters

Cancer Letters is not only rich in profound and insightful medical research, but also significantly contributes to the overarching understanding and treatment of various types of cancers. The journal's impact on the research community can be better appreciated through an analysis of its article citation count, repeated author contribution, and geographical location of contributing institutions.

Additionally, its influence extends beyond the scientific community, having also impacted the fields of nursing and medical practice. For instance, Cancer Letters statistics and cited research often provide educational materials for nursing students, particularly those enrolled in advanced degree programs, such as np programs in maine. These programs utilize such resources to improve their curriculum, develop more effective teaching methodologies, and ultimately better prepare their students for their subsequent careers.
