Overview

Top Research Topics at Cell and Tissue Research?

Cell and Tissue Research primarily focuses on research topics in Anatomy, Cell biology, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Molecular biology. Topics in Anatomy explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Electron microscope, Vesicle, Biophysics and Pathology. While the journal focused on Cell biology, it was also able to explore topics like Epithelium and Cell.

Molecular medicine and Immunohistochemistry are some of the study areas of Internal medicine discussed. Cell and Tissue Research dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Molecular medicine and Human genetics. The in-depth study on Endocrinology also explores topics in the intersecting field of Neuropeptide.

  • Anatomy (25.74%)
  • Cell biology (23.99%)
  • Internal medicine (21.84%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Stages in the development of Parkinson’s disease-related pathology (1882 citations)
  • EVIDENCE FOR THE EXISTENCE OF MONOAMINE NEURONS IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. 3. THE MONOAMINE NERVE TERMINAL. (1460 citations)
  • Bone formation in vitro by stromal cells obtained from bone marrow of young adult rats. (1244 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Cell and Tissue Research:

The most cited publications focus on Anatomy, Cell biology, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Pathology. The journal publications explore issues in Anatomy which can be linked to other research areas like Electron microscope, Biophysics and Nucleus. The journal publications address concerns in Cell biology which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Cell and Cell type.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The aim of Cell and Tissue Research is to expand the discussion of research in Cell biology, Neuroscience, Molecular medicine, Olfactory system and Stem cell. Cell and Tissue Research explores topics in Cell biology which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Cell and In vitro. Aside from investigating topics in Sensory system, Olfactory bulb, Odor and Central nervous system under Neuroscience, Cell and Tissue Research also explores concepts in Context (language use).

In Cell and Tissue Research, Inflammation, Proteomics, Immune system, Andrology and Human genetics are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Molecular medicine research. Many of the studies tackled connect Human genetics with a similar field of study like Computational biology. The Olfactory system study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Olfaction.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Functional properties of insect olfactory receptors: ionotropic receptors and odorant receptors (9 citations)
  • The importance of the olfactory system in human well-being, through nutrition and social behavior (9 citations)
  • Plasticity and modulation of olfactory circuits in insects. (9 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.

The top authors publishing in Cell and Tissue Research (based on the number of publications) are:

  • John B. Furness (88 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Geoffrey Burnstock (83 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Frank Sundler (59 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Kris Dierickx (54 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Ulrich Welsch (49 papers) absent at the last edition.

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 Cell and Tissue Research (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University of Kiel (490 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Max Planck Society (319 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous edition,
  • Lund University (291 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Heidelberg University (264 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • University of Giessen (248 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition, 4 more than at the previous edition.

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, 2.81% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 12.81% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 3.31% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 9.50% of all publications and 74.38% 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.
