Overview

Top Research Topics at Chromosoma?

Chromosoma investigates areas of study like Genetics, Molecular biology, Chromosome, Developmental biology and Cell biology. Genetics studies presented include Meiosis, Heterochromatin, Karyotype, Centromere and Genome. Meiosis research discussed connects with the study of Homologous chromosome.

Molecular biology research presented in Chromosoma encompasses a variety of subjects, including Metaphase, Polytene chromosome and Chromatin, Gene, DNA. The studies on Chromatin discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Biophysics and Histone. While the journal focused on DNA, it was also able to explore topics like RNA and Satellite DNA.

While Chromosome is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Ploidy and Chromosomal translocation. In addition to Developmental biology research, the journal aims to explore topics under Evolutionary biology, Salivary gland, Human genetics and Botany. Issues in Cell biology were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Spindle apparatus, Anaphase and Kinetochore.

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Chromosoma aims to foster the development of research in Cell biology, Chromosome, Heterochromatin, Meiosis and Developmental biology. In Chromosoma, Regulation of gene expression, Histone H3, Homologous recombination and Histone H2A are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Cell biology research. The presented Chromosome research is a component of the broader studies such as Gene and Genetics.

Genetics research featured in Chromosoma incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Vigna and Phaseolus. The research on Meiosis featured in it combines topics in other fields like Chromosome Positioning and Spermatid. Developmental biology research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including RAD51, Chromosome (genetic algorithm), Human genetics and Nucleosome.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Sex differences in the meiotic behavior of an XX sex chromosome pair in males and females of the mole vole Ellobius tancrei: turning an X into a Y chromosome? (4 citations)
  • BAC- and oligo-FISH mapping reveals chromosome evolution among Vigna angularis , V. unguiculata , and Phaseolus vulgaris (3 citations)
  • Limitation of current probe design for oligo-cross-FISH, exemplified by chromosome evolution studies in duckweeds. (3 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 Chromosoma (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Igor F. Zhimulev (46 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Elena S. Belyaeva (35 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Ingo Schubert (29 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Peter B. Moens (28 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Wolfgang Hennig (25 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 Chromosoma (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Max Planck Society (200 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Russian Academy of Sciences (98 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Australian National University (68 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Vienna (65 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Birmingham (63 papers) absent at the last 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, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 11.11% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.56% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.67% of all publications and 66.67% 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.
