Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Basic Microbiology?

The concepts of Biochemistry, Microbiology, Bacteria, Botany and Humanities are tackled in the journal. Journal of Basic Microbiology tackles issues in Biochemistry, particularly in the topics of Enzyme, Yeast, Mutant, Biosynthesis and Escherichia coli. Most of the Microbiology studies addressed also intersect with Strain (chemistry).

Journal of Basic Microbiology focuses on Humanities research which is adjacent to topics in Environmental ethics.

  • Biochemistry (20.89%)
  • Microbiology (16.57%)
  • Bacteria (8.86%)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Journal of Basic Microbiology:

The published articles are organized to reinforce research efforts on Microbiology, Botany, Biochemistry, Bacteria and Food science. While Microbiology is the focus of the published papers, it also provides insights into the studies of Escherichia coli, Strain (chemistry), Virulence and Biofilm. The most cited papers investigate Biochemistry research which frequently intersects with Chromatography.

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

  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria
  • Gene

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Journal of Basic Microbiology mostly deals with topics like Bacteria, Food science, Gene, Biochemistry and Microbiology. It explores research in Escherichia coli and overlapping concepts in Nanoparticle to expand the discourse in Bacteria. The Food science research presented in Journal of Basic Microbiology explores the relationship between Fungus and the closely related topic of Mycelium.

It explores issues in Gene which can be linked to other research areas like Strain (chemistry) and Cell biology. The Strain (chemistry) works featured in it incorporate elements from Enzyme assay and Biodegradation. Issues in Microbiology were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Transformation (genetics) and Protoplast.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • SARS-CoV-2, the pandemic coronavirus: Molecular and structural insights. (6 citations)
  • State of the art of bacterial chemotaxis (4 citations)
  • Phycoremediation of nitrogen and phosphate from wastewater using Picochlorum sp.: A tenable approach. (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 Basic Microbiology (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Adelheid Schwartz (64 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Horst Malke (54 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Erika Kothe (49 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Hans-Peter Kleber (37 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • W. Schwartz (37 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

The top affiliations publishing in Journal of Basic Microbiology (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg (81 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Schiller International University (75 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Chinese Academy of Sciences (75 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as 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, 7.14% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 4.40% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 3.30% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.19% of all publications and 79.12% 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.
