Overview

Top Research Topics at International Reviews of Immunology?

The primary areas of discussion in the journal are Immunology, Immune system, Cell biology, Antigen and Antibody. The study on Immunology presented in the journal intersects with the topics under Disease. The research on Immune system featured in International Reviews of Immunology combines topics in other fields like Cancer and Virology.

While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Cell biology, it also covered topics in Receptor, Apoptosis and CD40. It connects research in Antigen with the related topic of Antigen presentation. International Reviews of Immunology holds forums on Antibody that merges themes from other disciplines such as Molecular biology and Gene.

Autoantibody and Autoimmune disease are some topics wherein Autoimmunity research discussed in International Reviews of Immunology have an impact. Most of the T cell studies addressed also intersect with Cytotoxic T cell. Immunotherapy research discussed connects with the study of Cancer research.

  • Interleukin 6 and its receptor: ten years later. (638 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at International Reviews of Immunology:

The most cited papers focus largely on the fields of Immunology, Immune system, Cell biology, Antigen and Receptor. The journal articles explore research in Immune system alongside concepts in Virology and other areas of study in Gene. While Cell biology is the key highlight in the most cited publications, thet also covered some subjects on Apoptosis and Viral replication.

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

  • Gene
  • Immune system
  • Internal medicine

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The main research concerns discussed in the journal are Immunology, Immune system, Inflammation, Innate immune system and Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). International Reviews of Immunology facilitates discussions on Immunology that incorporate concepts from other fields like Disease and Homeostasis. Topics in Immune system were tackled in line with various other fields like Cancer research and Pathogenesis.

The journal explores topics in Inflammation which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Psoriasis, Inflammatory bowel disease, Carbohydrate metabolism, Myocardial infarction and FOXP3. It explores issues in Innate immune system which can be linked to other research areas like First line and Cell biology. Topics in Antibody explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in RNA and Antigen.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Dendritic cells in COVID-19 immunopathogenesis: insights for a possible role in determining disease outcome. (14 citations)
  • Rapid diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 using potential point-of-care electrochemical immunosensor: Toward the future prospects. (11 citations)
  • Emerging Human Coronavirus Infections (SARS, MERS, and COVID-19): Where They Are Leading Us. (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.

The top authors publishing in International Reviews of Immunology (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Adrian Bot (53 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Himanshu Kumar (33 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • Maurizio Chiriva-Internati (20 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Everardo Cobos (12 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Nima Rezaei (12 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous 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

The top affiliations publishing in International Reviews of Immunology (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Indian Institute of Science (33 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (26 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • National Institutes of Health (24 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (21 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Harvard University (17 papers) absent at the last 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, 1.54% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 14.06% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.25% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 10.94% of all publications and 68.75% 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.
