Genomics

Top Research Topics at Genomics?

Genomics focuses largely on the fields of Genetics, Gene, Molecular biology, Gene mapping and Locus (genetics). As a part of the journal, discussions in Genetics involve topics like Chromosome, Genome, Genetic marker, Genetic linkage and Nucleic acid sequence. The Genome study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Computational biology.

Some problems in Genetic marker that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Microsatellite and Restriction fragment length polymorphism. Genomics covers various topics on Gene such as Exon, Gene expression, Homology (biology), Intron and Regulation of gene expression. The majority of Exon studies in it are focused on the subject of Alternative splicing.

The Molecular biology works featured in Genomics incorporate elements from genomic DNA, Gene mutation and Complementary DNA, Molecular cloning, Peptide sequence. Genomics facilitates discussions on Gene mapping that incorporate concepts from other fields like Fluorescence in situ hybridization, X chromosome, Contig and Cosmid. Most of the Locus (genetics) studies addressed also intersect with Allele.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Genomics:

The most cited publications are mainly concerned with subjects like Genetics, Gene, Molecular biology, Gene mapping and Exon. In addition to Molecular biology research, the journal articles aim to explore topics under Complementary DNA, Molecular cloning, genomic DNA, DNA and Regulation of gene expression. The journal articles hold forums on Gene mapping that merge themes from other disciplines such as Contig, Genetic marker, Gene cluster, Microsatellite and Fluorescence in situ hybridization.

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

• Gene
• Enzyme
• Mutation

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal facilitates discussions on Gene, Genetics, Genome, Transcriptome and Computational biology. It dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Gene and Cell biology. Genomics primarily discusses Genetics topics, particularly Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genome-wide association study and Virulence.

It explores issues in Genome which can be linked to other research areas like Evolutionary biology, DNA sequencing and Phylogenetic tree. The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Computational biology, apply to Genomics as well. MicroRNA research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including RNA and Cancer research.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Genetics and genomics of SARS-CoV-2: A review of the literature with the special focus on genetic diversity and SARS-CoV-2 genome detection (35 citations)
• Vaccine-escape and fast-growing mutations in the United Kingdom, the United States, Singapore, Spain, India, and other COVID-19-devastated countries. (29 citations)
• Discovery and in silico evaluation of aminoarylbenzosuberene molecules as novel checkpoint kinase 1 inhibitor determinants. (27 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.

Top authors and change 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, 4.31% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 3.55% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 1.66% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 7.82% of all publications and 86.97% 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.
