European Journal of Microbiology and Immunology

Top Research Topics at European journal of microbiology and immunology?

The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Microbiology, Immunology, Immune system, Campylobacter jejuni and Virology. Microbiology research is the primary subject tackled in the journal with a focus on Antibiotics. The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Antibiotics, apply to Antimicrobial as well.

European journal of microbiology and immunology concentrates on Immunology topics that focus on Toxoplasma gondii, Antibody, T cell, Antigen and Immunity. The research on Toxoplasma gondii tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Toxoplasmosis and Seroprevalence. While Seroprevalence is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Cross-sectional study, Epidemiology and Case-control study.

The studies on Immune system discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Spleen and Apoptosis. Campylobacter Jejuni Infection is a major topic of Campylobacter jejuni research presented in the journal. Specifically, studies on Virus are prevalent in the Virology works discussed.

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

• Bacteria
• Internal medicine
• Gene

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal mainly tackles studies in Microbiology, Antibiotic resistance, Literature survey, Antimicrobial and Antibiotics. While work presented in it provided substantial information on Microbiology, it also covered topics in Abundance (ecology), Nucleic acid, Burkholderia pseudomallei, Innate immune system and Bacillus anthracis. The research on Antibiotic resistance featured in European journal of microbiology and immunology combines topics in other fields like Tinidazole, Metronidazole, Mebendazole, Bioinformatics and Nitazoxanide.

It facilitates the exploration of Literature survey in relation to the other disciplines, such as Immune system, Efflux and Capsinoids. Immune system research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Short-chain fatty acid, Gut flora, Propionate and In vivo. The research on Antibiotics tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Capsaicin, Acinetobacter baumannii, Butyrate and Antimicrobial peptides.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Antibacterial properties of capsaicin and its derivatives and their potential to fight antibiotic resistance - A literature survey. (2 citations)
• A literature survey on antimicrobial and immune-modulatory effects of butyrate revealing non-antibiotic approaches to tackle bacterial infections. (1 citations)
• Binary surrogate endpoints in clinical trials from the perspective of case definitions. (1 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, 12.50% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 85.71% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 14.29% 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.
