Overview

Top Research Topics at Current Infectious Disease Reports?

The primary areas of discussion in Current Infectious Disease Reports are Intensive care medicine, Immunology, Disease, Antibiotics and Epidemiology. While work presented in Current Infectious Disease Reports provided substantial information on Intensive care medicine, it also covered topics in Surgery, Sepsis, Health care, Pneumonia and Antimicrobial. The Sepsis works, particularly on Septic shock are tackled in it.

Community-acquired pneumonia is a major topic of Pneumonia research. The research on Immunology featured in the journal combines topics in other fields like Microbiology and Virology. In particular, the Antibiotics works presented emphasize discussions on Antibiotic resistance.

  • Intensive care medicine (37.66%)
  • Immunology (32.56%)
  • Disease (13.46%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Chikungunya Virus Infection (187 citations)
  • A rapid review of rapid HIV antibody tests (177 citations)
  • Diagnosis and treatment of implant-associated septic arthritis and osteomyelitis. (172 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Current Infectious Disease Reports:

The main points discussed in the most cited articles deal with Immunology, Intensive care medicine, Epidemiology, Microbiology and Disease. The most cited papers facilitate discussions on Immunology that incorporate concepts from other fields like Transmission (medicine), Virology and Candida albicans. The Intensive care medicine research presented in the most cited papers focuses mostly on Antimicrobial and, on occasion, topics in Antibiotic resistance.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Surgery

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Current Infectious Disease Reports primarily tackles Intensive care medicine, Antimicrobial stewardship, Pediatrics, Incidence (epidemiology) and Sepsis. In the journal, Off-label use, Lipoglycopeptides, Long acting, Drug and Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Intensive care medicine research. The Antimicrobial stewardship research presented in Current Infectious Disease Reports explores the relationship between Stewardship and the closely related topic of Antibiotic prescribing, Dental procedures, Adverse effect, Antibiotics and Antibiotic prophylaxis.

Some problems in Pediatrics that were presented in Current Infectious Disease Reports overlapped with concepts under Kawasaki disease and Osteomyelitis. The studies in Incidence (epidemiology) featured incorporate elements of Differential diagnosis, Erythema nodosum, Epidemiology and Lung. The concepts on Sepsis presented in Current Infectious Disease Reports can also apply to other research fields, including Intensive care unit and Diagnostic biomarker.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Status Report on COVID-19 Vaccines Development (19 citations)
  • What Is the Impact of Lockdowns on Dengue (7 citations)
  • Host Diagnostic Biomarkers of Infection in the ICU: Where Are We and Where Are We Going? (6 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 Infectious Disease Reports (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Jack D. Sobel (30 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Allan R. Tunkel (26 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Itzhak Brook (23 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Gonzalo Bearman (16 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • Mary E. Wilson (12 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 Infectious Disease Reports (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Harvard University (45 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Veterans Health Administration (38 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Wayne State University (37 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Drexel University (32 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (23 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, 23.81% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.25% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 31.25% of all publications and 37.50% 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.
