Genetics

Top Research Topics at Genetics?

The discussions in Genetics mainly cover the fields of Genetics, Gene, Mutant, Drosophila melanogaster and Allele. Genetics addresses concerns in Genetics which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Evolutionary biology and Molecular biology. The study on Molecular biology presented is investigated in conjunction with research in DNA.

Genetics facilitated presentations on Gene research, particularly Phenotype, Genome, Gene expression, Regulation of gene expression and Complementation. Mutant studies tackled cover an aspect of the field of Biochemistry. Most of the works presented in the journal deals with Drosophila melanogaster but it intersects with the subject of Chromosome.

Genetic variation and Genotype are some topics wherein Allele research discussed in it have an impact.

• Genetics (98.04%)
• Gene (24.17%)
• Mutant (14.57%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

Research areas of the most cited articles at Genetics:

The main points discussed in the published papers deal with Genetics, Gene, Mutant, Allele and Locus (genetics). The published articles link adjacent topics like Genetics with Molecular biology. Aside from discussions in Genetic variation, the most cited papers also deal with the subject of Evolutionary biology which intersects with Population genetics disciplines.

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

• Gene
• Enzyme
• Genetics

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The objective of the journal is to combine knowledge in the areas of Genetics, Cell biology, Gene, Caenorhabditis elegans and Mutant. The journal holds forums on Genetics that merges themes from other disciplines such as Computational biology and Selection (genetic algorithm). The studies on Cell biology discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Histone, Cell type and DNA replication.

The journal aims to address concerns in Gene, specifically in the areas of Gene expression, Transcription factor, Phenotype, Enhancer and Mutation. Transposable element is a major topic of Genome research. Genetics focuses on Allele as well as the interrelated topic of Quantitative trait locus.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Regulation of growth and cell fate during tissue regeneration by the two SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complexes of Drosophila. (14 citations)
• The impacts of cytoplasmic incompatibility factor (cifA and cifB) genetic variation on phenotypes. (11 citations)
• Assessing the Performance of qpAdm: A Statistical Tool for Studying Population Admixture (10 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 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.

Top affiliations and change over time

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing in Genetics (based on the number of publications) are:

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, 4.31% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 23.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 9.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.50% of all publications and 47.50% 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.
