Overview

Top Research Topics at Industrial Biotechnology?

The discussions in Industrial Biotechnology mainly cover the fields of Biofuel, Biotechnology, Industrial biotechnology, Food science and Biomass. The journal connects research in Biofuel with the related topic of Natural resource economics. Attendees of it participated in discussions that delve into both Industrial biotechnology and Biochemical engineering.

The study on Food science featured in the journal expounds on the topic of Fermentation in particular. Ethanol fuel is a focus of the Fermentation works in it. The work tackled in Industrial Biotechnology goes beyond the discipline of Biomass as it also encompasses Pulp and paper industry.

  • Biofuel (10.77%)
  • Biotechnology (10.28%)
  • Industrial biotechnology (8.32%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Applications of oxidoreductases: Recent progress (198 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Industrial Biotechnology:

The most cited articles cover a variety of subjects, including Biotechnology, Biomass, Biofuel, Agriculture and Production (economics). While the published papers focused on Biomass, they were also able to explore topics like Waste management, Pyrolysis, Algae, Moisture and Pulp and paper industry. While Biofuel is the focus of the journal publications, it also provides insights into the studies of Renewable energy and Gasoline.

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

  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria
  • Organic chemistry

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Conversation, Psychoanalysis, Natural resource economics, Enzyme and Art history. Topics in Conversation explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Religious studies and Yair. Renewable energy and Biotechnology industry are some topics wherein Natural resource economics research discussed in Industrial Biotechnology have an impact.

The study of Biochemistry serves as the foundation of the Enzyme research discussed in it. Serine protease, Alkaline protease and Protease are all disciplines of Biochemistry that connect with topics in Archangium.

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 top authors publishing in Industrial Biotechnology (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Sandra P. Thompson (18 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Larry P. Walker (16 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Brent Erickson (15 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • J. Peter Fasse (9 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • FasseJ. Peter (8 papers) absent at the last edition.

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.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

  • Federal University of São Carlos (5 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 3 less than at the previous edition.

The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.

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, 57.14% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 13.33% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 26.67% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 26.67% of all publications and 33.33% 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.

Career Opportunities in the Field of Industrial Biotechnology

There are a plethora of career opportunities in the field of industrial biotechnology, catering to a diverse range of interests and skill sets. The vast scope of research topics covered by industrial biotechnology, such as Biofuel, Biotechnology, and Food science, also translates into a multitude of professional opportunities.
