DNA Repair

Top Research Topics at DNA Repair?

The objective of the journal is to combine knowledge in the areas of DNA repair, DNA, Molecular biology, DNA damage and Genetics. Topics in DNA repair were tackled in line with various other fields like DNA replication, Homologous recombination and Cell biology. Concepts in Chromatin, as well as related topics in Histone, are covered in the Cell biology research presented in the journal.

DNA research discussed in it aim to provide more information in the subject of Biochemistry. The concepts on Molecular biology presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including DNA repair protein XRCC4, Mutant, DNA polymerase, DNA ligase and Proliferating cell nuclear antigen. It explores issues in DNA polymerase which can be linked to other research areas like DNA polymerase delta, DNA polymerase II and Polymerase.

DNA Repair focuses on DNA damage but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as G2-M DNA damage checkpoint, Cell cycle checkpoint, Cell cycle and Cancer research. In the Genetics research discussed, Mutation, DNA mismatch repair, Genome instability, Replication protein A and Helicase are all tackled. DNA Repair facilitates discussions on Base excision repair that incorporate concepts from other fields like DNA glycosylase and AP site.

Research areas of the most cited articles at DNA Repair:

The journal papers aim to foster the development of research in DNA repair, DNA damage, DNA, Genetics and Molecular biology. The most cited articles facilitate discussions on DNA repair that incorporate concepts from other fields like Homologous recombination and Cell biology. While DNA is the focus of the journal publications, it also provides insights into the studies of Genome, Transcription (biology) and Gene.

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

• Gene
• DNA
• Enzyme

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Cell biology, DNA repair, DNA damage, DNA and Chromatin. The Cell biology research discussed in DNA Repair can contribute to the expansion of the discourse in closely related subjects like

• Transcription (biology) which is related to area like RNA polymerase II,
• DNA replication which intersects with area such as Replication (computing).. Research on DNA repair presented in it concerns the broader topic of Gene.

The subject of Cancer research, which is connected to the field of Cell and Poly ADP ribose polymerase, serves as the foundation of the DNA damage research featured in DNA Repair. It focused on DNA research but expanded to cover Genome. The study of Polymerase encompasses disciplines such as Molecular biology, as well as fields such as AP site and DNA polymerase, all of which overlap with one another.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Signaling pathways involved in cell cycle arrest during the DNA breaks. (6 citations)
• Towards a comprehensive view of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine: Highlighting the intertwined roles of DNA damage and epigenetics in genomic instability. (5 citations)
• Alternative complexes formed by the Escherichia coli clamp loader accessory protein HolC (x) with replication protein HolD (ψ) and repair protein YoaA. (4 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.

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, 5.15% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 10.85% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.98% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 26.36% of all publications and 55.81% 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.
