Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Applied Genetics?

The aim of the journal is to expand the discussion of research in Genetics, Gene, Botany, Molecular biology and Genotype. Research on Genetics presented in it focuses, in particular, on Human genetics, Genome, Chromosome, Quantitative trait locus and Allele. Chromosome research is the primary subject tackled in it with a focus on Karyotype.

Topics in Quantitative trait locus were tackled in line with various other fields like Genetic marker and Genetic linkage. The journal primarily discusses Gene topics, particularly Gene expression, Exon, Mutation, Phenotype and Single-nucleotide polymorphism. It centers on topics in Single-nucleotide polymorphism, with a focus on SNP.

The study on Botany presented in Journal of Applied Genetics intersects with subjects under the field of Ploidy. The majority of Genotype studies presented zero in on Polymorphism (computer science).

  • Genetics (46.40%)
  • Gene (23.44%)
  • Botany (16.38%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • The multigene family of fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs): function, structure and polymorphism. (525 citations)
  • Reference genes in real-time PCR. (523 citations)
  • Sequencing technologies and genome sequencing (482 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Journal of Applied Genetics:

The most cited publications are organized to reinforce research efforts on Genetics, Gene, Botany, Human genetics and Genotype. The study of Gene in the journal papers encompasses disciplines such as Molecular biology, as well as fields such as Gene expression, all of which overlap with one another. The most cited articles address concerns in Genotype which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Microsatellite and Animal science.

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

  • Gene
  • Mutation
  • Genetics

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The topics of Genetics, Gene, Human genetics, Genome and Quantitative trait locus are the focal point of discussions in the journal. It focused on Genetics research but expanded to cover Secale. Studies on Gene discussed in it link to the field of DNA.

The studies on Human genetics discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of DNA methylation, Mutation, Computational biology, Immune system and Epigenetics. The close relationship between Phylogenetic tree and Evolutionary biology is one of the points of interest dissected in Genome research. Some problems in Quantitative trait locus that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Association mapping, Inbred strain and Gene mapping.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • A GBS-based GWAS analysis of adaptability and yield traits in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (5 citations)
  • Mutation profiling of a limbless pig reveals genome-wide regulation of RNA processing related to bone development. (3 citations)
  • Genome-wide identification and function characterization of GATA transcription factors during development and in response to abiotic stresses and hormone treatments in pepper (3 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 Journal of Applied Genetics (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Stefan Malepszy (18 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Jerzy Chełkowski (17 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Stanisław Kamiński (17 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Robert P. Erickson (17 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Michał Witt (17 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than 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 Journal of Applied Genetics (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Polish Academy of Sciences (221 papers) published 9 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • Poznan University of Medical Sciences (41 papers) published 4 papers 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, 16.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 26.98% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.11% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 7.94% of all publications and 53.97% 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.
