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

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Gene

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The aim of Food Science and Human Wellness is to expand the discussion of research in Gut flora, Food science, Bacteria, Pharmacology and Prebiotic. While Gut flora is the focus of Food Science and Human Wellness, it also provided insights into the studies of Diabetes mellitus, Carbohydrate metabolism, Signal transduction and Resveratrol. Lactobacillus research are fields of study within Food science but they also intertwine with concepts in Human health and Health benefits.

In addition to Bacteria research, the journal aims to explore topics under Microbiome, Lipopolysaccharide, Butyrate and Microbiology. Aside from discussions in Pharmacology, the journal also deals with the subject of Streptozotocin which intersects with PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and Akt/PKB signaling pathway disciplines. Prebiotic research in it involves the investigation of Polysaccharide studies, all of which are linked to disciplines such as Proinflammatory cytokine, Liver injury and Dyslipidemia.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Verification of Lactobacillus brevis tolerance to simulated gastric juice and the potential effects of postbiotic gamma-aminobutyric acid in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice (1 citations)
  • Docosahexaenoic acid-rich fish oil prevented insulin resistance by modulating gut microbiome and promoting colonic peptide YY expression in diet-induced obesity mice (0 citations)
  • Milled flaxseed-added diets ameliorated hepatic inflammation by reducing gene expression of TLR4/NF-κB pathway and altered gut microbiota in STZ-induced type 1 diabetic mice (0 citations)

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 2022 edition, 5.26% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 33.33% 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 33.33% of all publications and 33.33% 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.

Career Opportunities in Food Science and Human Wellness Field

Alongside demonstrating the depth of research topics discussed in the journal, it is also beneficial to shed light on potential career prospects in related fields. For example, one non-traditional avenue for applying a background in food science is the medical field, specifically medical billing and coding. If your interest extends to both food science and human wellness, this can be a rewarding crossover, especially given the growing attention to the significance of nutrition in medical treatments. As an example, a career as a medical biller and coder in Alaska can be quite promising. Medical billers and coders play a crucial role in connecting health care providers, patients, and insurance companies. They ensure that medical procedures are accurately recorded, billed, and reimbursed. These roles allow professionals to contribute to healthcare while offering stability, respectable income, and opportunities for advancement. For those looking for a comprehensive guide on how to embark on this career path, you can find more details including requirements, job responsibilities and potential salary expectations in Alaska in this article about the average salary for medical biller in Alaska.
