Gut Microbes

Top Research Topics at Gut microbes?

The journal generally zeroes in on subjects such as Microbiology, Gut flora, Immunology, Microbiome and Immune system. Some problems in Microbiology that were presented in Gut microbes overlapped with concepts under Probiotic, Bacteria, Escherichia coli and Virulence. The study on Virulence presented in Gut microbes intersects with the topics under Virology.

Gut flora works presented in it have a specific focus on Dysbiosis. While the journal focused on Immunology, it was also able to explore topics like Disease and Inflammatory bowel disease. The studies on Microbiome discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Feces and Metagenomics.

The journal focused on Internal medicine research but expanded to cover Endocrinology.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Gut microbes:

The published papers investigate areas of study like Microbiology, Gut flora, Immunology, Immune system and Microbiome. The most cited articles explore topics in Gut flora which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Internal medicine and Obesity. In addition to Immunology research, the journal publications aim to explore topics under Probiotic and Inflammatory bowel disease.

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

• Gene
• Internal medicine
• Bacteria

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Gut microbes primarily tackles Gut flora, Microbiology, Microbiome, Immunology and Gut microbiome. Gut microbes holds forums on Gut flora that merges themes from other disciplines such as Inflammatory bowel disease, Inflammation, Internal medicine and Physiology. The concepts on Microbiology presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Probiotic, Bacteria, Colitis and Gene.

The research on Microbiome featured in the journal combines topics in other fields like Metabolome, Cancer, Metabolic syndrome and Environmental health. In the journal, Disease and Clostridioides are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Immunology research. While work presented in Gut microbes provided substantial information on Gut microbiome, it also covered topics in Human gut, Food science and Metagenomics.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Blautia-a new functional genus with potential probiotic properties? (17 citations)
• Probiotics reduce self-reported symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection in overweight and obese adults: should we be considering probiotics during viral pandemics? (15 citations)
• Gut Akkermansia muciniphila ameliorates metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease by regulating the metabolism of L-aspartate via gut-liver axis. (14 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, 2.21% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 18.08% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 15.25% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.51% of all publications and 49.15% 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.
