Environmental Microbiology Reports

Top Research Topics at Environmental Microbiology Reports?

The journal facilitates discussions on Ecology, Microbiology, Bacteria, Biochemistry and Botany. The journal links adjacent topics like Ecology with Microbial population biology. Issues in Microbiology were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Biofilm and Escherichia coli, Mutant, Gene, Virulence.

The majority of Gene studies are focused on the issues of Genome. The discussions emphasized the topic of Genome in an attempt to further explore the field of Genetics. The Bacteria research dealing mostly with Microorganism is the focus of it.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Environmental Microbiology Reports:

The most cited papers generally zeroe in on subjects such as Ecology, Microbiology, Bacteria, Botany and Biochemistry. The published articles connects research in Ecology with the related topics of Gammaproteobacteria. While work presented in the most cited publications provide substantial information on Microbiology, it also covers topics in Quorum sensing, Virulence, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas.

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

• Bacteria
• Gene
• Enzyme

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Environmental Microbiology Reports primarily tackles Ecology, Bacteria, Microbiology, Environmental chemistry and Genetics. Environmental Microbiology Reports explores research in Microbiome and overlapping concepts in Microbial diversity to expand the discourse in Ecology. Bacteria study tackled is connected to the field of Zoology.

Some problems in Microbiology that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Multidrug tolerance, Bacterial growth and Virulence. While Environmental Microbiology Reports mainly focused on Environmental chemistry studies, it also tackled the scientific discipline of interrelated fields such as

• Sulfate which is related to area like Archaea, Anaerobic oxidation of methane and Biogeochemical cycle,
• Oxidizing agent and Anoxic waters most often made with reference to Sulfur.. The journal focuses on Gene research as part of the broader topic of Biochemistry.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Are we really studying persister cells (10 citations)
• ANME-1 archaea may drive methane accumulation and removal in estuarine sediments. (5 citations)
• Physical connections: prokaryotes parasitizing their kin. (5 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, 1.80% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 15.60% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 2.75% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.60% of all publications and 66.06% 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.
