Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology

Top Research Topics at Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology?

Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology facilitates discussions on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Biochemistry, Pharmacology and Toxicity. Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology is mostly focused on Internal medicine, specifically Kidney. Endocrinology research presented is mostly focused on the subject of Hormone.

Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Biochemistry and Molecular biology. The Molecular biology study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Cytotoxicity. The study on Pharmacology presented is investigated in conjunction with research in In vivo.

The work on Toxicity addressed in Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology expands to the thematically related Toxicology. Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology connects the study in Oxidative stress with the closely related area of Reactive oxygen species. The journal focuses on Superoxide dismutase research which is adjacent to topics in Catalase.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology:

Biochemistry, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Oxidative stress and Pharmacology are the main subjects of interest in the most cited publications. The journal publications explore research in Apoptosis and overlapping concepts in Cell biology to expand the discourse in Oxidative stress. The most cited publications explore research in Pharmacology alongside concepts in Toxicity and other areas of study in Toxicology.

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

• Internal medicine
• Enzyme
• Gene

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology investigates studies in Oxidative stress, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Toxicity and Apoptosis. Some problems in Oxidative stress that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Reactive oxygen species, Glutathione and Pharmacology. Inflammation and Urinary system are some of the facets of Internal medicine tackled in it.

Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology connects the study in Endocrinology with the closely related area of Neurotoxicity. In addition to Toxicity research, the journal aims to explore topics under EC50, Food science, Antioxidant and Embryo. It explores topics in Apoptosis which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Cancer research, Downregulation and upregulation and Cell biology.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Evaluating heavy metals contamination in soil and vegetables in the region of North India: Levels, transfer and potential human health risk analysis. (15 citations)
• Effects of inhaled combined Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, and Xylenes (BTEX): Toward an environmental exposure model. (11 citations)
• Acute toxicity of textile dye Methylene blue on growth and metabolism of selected freshwater microalgae. (8 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, 3.41% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 11.18% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.06% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.71% of all publications and 67.06% 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.
