Overview

Top Research Topics at Cell & Bioscience?

The aim of Cell & Bioscience is to expand the discussion of research in Cell biology, Stem cell, Cancer research, Proteomics and Immunology. The research on Cell biology featured in Cell & Bioscience combines topics in other fields like Autophagy, Genetics and Transcription factor. The concepts on Stem cell presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Cell, Cell growth, Bioinformatics, Apoptosis and Mesenchymal stem cell.

The journal explores topics in Cancer research which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Cancer cell, Cancer, Metastasis, Carcinogenesis and Gene knockdown. Proteomics research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including microRNA, Computational biology and Function (biology). The works on Immunology deal in particular with Immune system.

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Cell & Bioscience was organized to reinforce research efforts on Cell biology, Stem cell, Cancer research, Proteomics and Cell. The study of Cell biology encompasses disciplines such as Gene knockdown, as well as fields such as Gene silencing, all of which overlap with one another. It holds forums on Stem cell that merges themes from other disciplines such as Cancer cell, Downregulation and upregulation, Induced pluripotent stem cell, Regeneration (biology) and Mesenchymal stem cell.

It explores issues in Cancer research which can be linked to other research areas like Cancer, Metastasis, Cell growth and Apoptosis, PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. Research in Computational biology and the interrelating topic of Gene were among the subjects of interest in the Proteomics studies discussed in it. While Cell is the focus of Cell & Bioscience, it also provided insights into the studies of Microvesicles, Cell culture and Cellular differentiation.

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.

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, 1.11% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 27.53% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 17.98% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.79% of all publications and 33.71% 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.
