Overview

Top Research Topics at Current HIV Research?

The main points discussed in the journal deals with Immunology, Virology, Internal medicine, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and Immune system. Most of the works presented in it deals with Immunology but it intersects with the subject of Disease. The journal holds forums on Virology that merges themes from other disciplines such as Antibody, Gene and Reverse transcriptase.

Internal medicine research featured in Current HIV Research incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Gastroenterology and Endocrinology. The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), apply to Transmission (medicine) as well.

  • Immunology (34.37%)
  • Virology (28.93%)
  • Internal medicine (17.86%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Cellular Reservoirs of HIV-1 and their Role in Viral Persistence (276 citations)
  • The Antimicrobial Peptide LL-37 Inhibits HIV-1 Replication (174 citations)
  • Astrocyte infection by HIV-1: Mechanisms of restricted virus replication, and role in the pathogenesis of HIV-1-associated dementia (162 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Current HIV Research:

The most cited papers aim to foster the development of research in Immunology, Virology, Immune system, Viral replication and Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The journal articles link adjacent topics like Immunology with Disease. Virus and Antigen are some topics wherein Immune system research discussed in the published articles has an impact.

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal covers a variety of subjects, including Internal medicine, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), Immunology, Viral load and Disease. Issues in Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Health care, Epidemiology and Pediatrics. The concepts on Immunology presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Peripheral blood mononuclear cell and microRNA.

Topics in Disease explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Incidence (epidemiology), Population study and Antiretroviral therapy. While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Restriction fragment length polymorphism, it also covered topics in Allele and Virology. The research topics discussed in it include Virology as well as Arenaviridae.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • The course of COVID-19 in four patients with HIV during the pandemic. (2 citations)
  • A case report of disseminated histoplasmosis in AIDS diagnosed through peripheral blood smear. (1 citations)
  • Assessing the Effectiveness of a Telemedicine Initiative in Clinical Management of Children Living with HIV/AIDS in Maharashtra, India (1 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 Current HIV Research (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Seyed Mehdi Sadat (10 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Yiming Shao (10 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Derek J Chan (9 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Phyllis J. Kanki (8 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Pere Domingo (8 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 Current HIV Research (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Sapienza University of Rome (17 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Pasteur Institute of Iran (17 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • National Institutes of Health (17 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Washington (16 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Pittsburgh (15 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, 20.31% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 13.73% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 1.96% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 23.53% of all publications and 60.78% 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.
