Current Opinion in Cell Biology explores disciplines such as Cell biology, Genetics, Signal transduction, Biochemistry and Cell. While it focused on Cell biology, it was also able to explore topics like Cell adhesion and Cytoskeleton. The studies on Cell adhesion discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Integrin and Cell adhesion molecule.
The study on Cytoskeleton presented in the journal intersects with the topics under Actin. Current Opinion in Cell Biology features Genetics research that overlaps with concepts in Computational biology. The study on Signal transduction presented in Current Opinion in Cell Biology intersects with subjects under the field of Receptor.
The published papers primarily focus on research topics in Cell biology, Signal transduction, Biochemistry, Genetics and Cell adhesion. Cell biology research is the primary subject tackled in the most cited papers with a focus in Extracellular matrix. The journal articles are focused mainly on Signal transduction, particularly Cell signaling.
Current Opinion in Cell Biology tackles a plethora of topics, such as Cell biology, Neuroscience, Cell, Chromatin and Biophysics. While work presented in it provided substantial information on Cell biology, it also covered topics in DNA and Cytoskeleton. The Neuroscience studies discussed in it incorporate research from disciplines like
It focuses on Cell but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Epithelium and Motility. Chromatin research featured in Current Opinion in Cell Biology incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Genome, Computational biology, Transcription (biology), Transcriptional regulation and Epigenetics. The overlapping concepts between Endocytic cycle and Clathrin are the key highlights of Biophysics study.
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 Opinion in Cell Biology (based on the number of publications) are:
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 Opinion in Cell Biology (based on the number of publications) are:
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.
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, 5.26% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 21.30% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.33% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 25.00% of all publications and 45.37% were from other institutions.
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.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2021)Pursuing a degree in Biology or Biochemistry opens diverse career pathways, including healthcare, research, and education. For those interested in mental health and counseling professions, transitioning to related fields through specialized online programs is a practical option.
Many students explore online counseling degrees to build foundational skills in psychology and human behavior. These programs offer flexibility while preparing candidates for licensure and professional practice.
For focused clinical expertise, enrolling in online clinical mental health counseling programs provides accelerated paths to certification. Such programs emphasize practical training and often incorporate specialized topics, balancing speed and quality education.
Students aiming to work with younger populations may benefit from a masters in child psychology. This degree focuses on developmental mental health and therapeutic interventions tailored for children and adolescents.
Additionally, those seeking cost-effective routes might consider the cheapest online LPC programs, which provide affordable licensure preparation in counseling professions without sacrificing essential curriculum quality.
Exploring these online options can complement a science background, enhancing career flexibility and opportunities within mental health and counseling fields.
