Functional and Integrative Genomics

Top Research Topics at Functional & Integrative Genomics?

The journal investigates areas of study like Gene, Genetics, Genome, Gene expression and Transcriptome. While it focused on Gene, it was also able to explore topics like Botany and Cell biology. The featured Botany studies mainly concentrate on Abiotic stress but also cover areas of interest in Abiotic component.

Genomics, Candidate gene, Quantitative trait locus, Gene family and Locus (genetics) are some of the study areas of Genetics discussed. Many of the studies tackled connect Gene family with a similar field of study like Arabidopsis. Genome research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Chromosome, Computational biology and DNA sequencing.

The research on Gene expression featured in it combines topics in other fields like Complementary DNA, Molecular biology and RNA. RNA-Seq and KEGG are some of the facets of Transcriptome tackled in it. While Gene expression profiling is the focus of Functional & Integrative Genomics, it also provided insights into the studies of Microarray analysis techniques and DNA microarray.

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The concepts of Gene, Cell biology, Transcriptome, Computational biology and Genetics are tackled in Functional & Integrative Genomics. It tackles issues in Gene, particularly in the topics of Candidate gene, KEGG, Gene expression, microRNA and Downregulation and upregulation. Functional & Integrative Genomics focuses on Cell biology but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Embryonic stem cell, Transcription factor, Transcriptional regulation and Messenger RNA.

The close relationship between Signal transduction and Haemophilus is one of the points of interest dissected in Transcriptome research. Genome and Frameshift mutation are all aspects of Genetics discussed in it. The research on Genome tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Decoding methods, Phenylpropanoid and Hordeum vulgare.

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, 9.43% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 22.92% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 12.50% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.50% of all publications and 52.08% 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.
