Genome

Top Research Topics at Genome?

Genome generally zeroes in on subjects such as Genetics, Botany, Gene, Genome and Chromosome. Research on Genetics presented in the journal focuses, in particular, on Genetic marker, Locus (genetics), Cytogenetics, Meiosis and Ploidy. Topics in Genetic marker explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in RAPD, Microsatellite, Genetic linkage, Restriction fragment length polymorphism and Gene mapping.

Genome focuses on Locus (genetics) research which is adjacent to topics in Allele. Chiasma is a major topic of Meiosis research. The journal explores issues in Botany which can be linked to other research areas like Genetic variation and Genetic diversity.

The study on Gene presented in the journal intersects with subjects under the field of Molecular biology. Genome research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including genomic DNA, DNA and DNA sequencing. Research on Chromosome addressed in Genome frequently intersections with the field of Chromosomal translocation.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Genome:

The most cited articles facilitate discussions on Genetics, Botany, Genome, Gene and Genetic marker. The published papers facilitate discussions on Genome that incorporate concepts from other fields like Meiosis, Ploidy and DNA, DNA sequencing. The published papers deal with Gene in conjunction with Molecular biology and similar fields in In situ hybridization.

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

• Gene
• Botany
• Ecology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Gene, Genetics, Genome, Evolutionary biology and DNA barcoding. The Gene study featured falls within the larger field of Biochemistry. Transcriptome, Epigenetics, DNA, Introgression and Transposable element are all topics related to Genetics research discussed.

The studies on Genome discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Cucumis, Chloroplast, Inbred strain and DNA sequencing. In addition to Evolutionary biology research, Genome aims to explore topics under Taxon, Mitochondrial DNA, Genus, Morphology (biology) and Wolbachia. In it, Taxonomy (biology), Biodiversity and Polymerase chain reaction are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in DNA barcoding research.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• BIOSCAN: DNA barcoding to accelerate taxonomy and biogeography for conservation and sustainability. (11 citations)
• Machine learning for precision medicine. (9 citations)
• Epigenetic regulation of ACE2, the receptor of the SARS-CoV-2 virus1. (9 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, 7.22% 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 4.44% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 6.67% of all publications and 55.56% 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.
