Overview

Top Research Topics at European Journal of Cell Biology?

European Journal of Cell Biology investigates areas of study like Cell biology, Biochemistry, Molecular biology, Biophysics and Cytoplasm. While it focused on Cell biology, it was also able to explore topics like Cell culture and Cytoskeleton. The study on Molecular biology presented in it intersects with the topics under Cell.

The concepts on Biophysics presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Electron microscope, Vesicle, Membrane and Anatomy. More specifically, the research on Microtubule in European Journal of Cell Biology is related to Tubulin. The featured Golgi apparatus study falls within the wider topic of Endoplasmic reticulum.

Research areas of the most cited articles at European Journal of Cell Biology:

The published articles primarily tackle Cell biology, Biochemistry, Molecular biology, Biophysics and Cytoplasm. While Cell biology is the focus of the most cited papers, it also provides insights into the studies of Actin cytoskeleton and Cytoskeleton. The published papers explore topics in Molecular biology which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Vimentin and Cell culture.

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The discussions in European Journal of Cell Biology mainly cover the fields of Cell biology, Cancer cell, Cancer research, Computational biology and E2F1. Cell biology research is the primary subject tackled in it with a focus on Actin. Topics in Actin explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Live cell imaging, ATP hydrolysis, Golgi apparatus, Vacuole and Cellular homeostasis.

Topics in Cancer research were tackled in line with various other fields like Epithelial–mesenchymal transition, Oxidative stress, Hypoxia (medical), Survivin and Reprogramming. The journal addresses concerns in Computational biology which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Transcriptional Regulatory Elements, Promoter, Enhancer and Gene expression. In addition to E2F1 research, European Journal of Cell Biology aims to explore topics under Hsp90, Human breast and Chaperone (protein).

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • DIAPH1 regulates chromosomal instability of cancer cells by controlling microtubule dynamics. (2 citations)
  • Pathophysiological relationship between hypoxia associated oxidative stress, Epithelial-mesenchymal transition, stemness acquisition and alteration of Shh/ Gli-1 axis during oral sub-mucous fibrosis and oral squamous cell carcinoma. (2 citations)
  • Hsp90 chaperone facilitates E2F1/2-dependent gene transcription in human breast cancer cells (2 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 European Journal of Cell Biology (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Werner W. Franke (61 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Klaus Weber (51 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Mary Osborn (21 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Georg Krohne (20 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Horst Robenek (19 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 European Journal of Cell Biology (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Max Planck Society (192 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Centre national de la recherche scientifique (88 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • German Cancer Research Center (85 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • French Institute of Health and Medical Research (81 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Marburg (75 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, 19.05% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 0.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.88% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 11.76% of all publications and 82.35% 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.
