Influenza and other Respiratory Viruses

Top Research Topics at Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses?

The main points discussed in the journal deals with Virology, Virus, Pandemic, Influenza A virus and Immunology. The Virology study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Microbiology. Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses focuses on Virus but sometimes tackles the closely related topic of Internal medicine which is concerned with Intensive care medicine.

Issues in Pandemic were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Epidemiology, Demography, Human mortality from H5N1, Public health and Pediatrics. It addresses concerns in Pediatrics which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Young adult and Incidence (epidemiology). While Influenza A virus is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Veterinary medicine, Influenza a and Viral shedding.

Vaccination, Immune system and Immunogenicity are all aspects of Immunology discussed in it. The Vaccination works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Immunization, Health care and Environmental health. Neuraminidase research in it involves the investigation of Oseltamivir studies, all of which are linked to disciplines such as Zanamivir.

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

• Internal medicine
• Virus
• Disease

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The discussions in the journal mainly cover the fields of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), Internal medicine, Vaccination and Epidemiology. The study of Virology and how it intertwines with concepts under Genotype were explored in the presented Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) research. In addition to Vaccination research, it aims to explore topics under Seasonal influenza, Systematic review, Primary care and Environmental health.

While the journal focused on Epidemiology, it was also able to explore topics like Severe acute respiratory infection, Demography, Outbreak, Seasonality and Respiratory system. While work presented in Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses provided substantial information on Pandemic, it also covered topics in Health care, Emergency medicine, Virus, Public health and Pandemic influenza. Virus research presented is mostly focused on the subject of Influenza A virus.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Evidence for pre-symptomatic transmission of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in China. (25 citations)
• Differential COVID-19 case positivity in New York City neighborhoods: socioeconomic factors and mobility (22 citations)
• COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and attitudes in Qatar: A national cross-sectional survey of a migrant-majority population. (16 citations)

Papers citation 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, 2.42% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 31.40% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 14.88% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.70% of all publications and 38.02% 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.
