Overview

Top Research Topics at Forensic Science International: Genetics Supplement Series?

The journal focuses on Genetics, DNA, Microsatellite, Molecular biology and Allele. Genetics studies presented in Forensic Science International: Genetics Supplement Series focus on topics such as Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Haplotype, Allele frequency, Mitochondrial DNA and Locus (genetics). Topics in Mitochondrial DNA were tackled in line with various other fields like Evolutionary biology and mtDNA control region.

It focuses on DNA but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as DNA extraction, Computational biology and Typing. The DNA extraction study featured in the journal draws parallels with the field of Chromatography. The journal focuses on Computational biology research which is adjacent to topics in Massive parallel sequencing.

Microsatellite research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Genotyping and Multiplex. The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Molecular biology, apply to Polymerase chain reaction as well. The work on Allele addressed in it expands to the thematically related Genotype.

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Forensic Science International: Genetics Supplement Series mainly tackles studies in Genetics, Computational biology, DNA, Microsatellite and Evolutionary biology. As a part of the journal, discussions in Genetics involve topics like Allele, Allele frequency, Locus (genetics), Y chromosome and Str loci. The journal facilitates discussions on Computational biology that incorporate concepts from other fields like Multiplex, Genotyping, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Typing and Massive parallel sequencing.

The subject of Chromatography, which is connected to the field of DNA profiling, serves as the foundation of the DNA research featured in Forensic Science International: Genetics Supplement Series. The journal explores topics in Evolutionary biology which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Genetic diversity, Haplotype, Haplogroup, Mitochondrial DNA and Ethnic group. In the journal, mtDNA control region and Genome are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Mitochondrial DNA research.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Visualising latent DNA on tapes (7 citations)
  • relMix: An open source software for DNA mixtures with related contributors (6 citations)
  • Are reported likelihood ratios well calibrated (6 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 Forensic Science International: Genetics Supplement Series (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Leonor Gusmão (81 papers) published 8 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Niels Morling (65 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 3 less than at the previous edition,
  • António Amorim (65 papers) published 10 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,

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 2019 edition, 16.09% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 35.96% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.90% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 19.18% of all publications and 35.96% 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.
