Journal of Genetics

Top Research Topics at Journal of Genetics?

The journal mainly deals with areas of study such as Genetics, Evolutionary biology, Gene, Botany and Allele. Genotype, Chromosome, Genome, Locus (genetics) and Mutant are all aspects of Genetics discussed in the journal. While it primarily focused on Evolutionary biology, it also opened dialogues on the discipline of Inheritance (object-oriented programming).

The work tackled in the journal goes beyond the discipline of Gene as it also encompasses Molecular biology. Pollen and Hybrid are among the areas of Botany tackled.

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

• Sex ratio and unisexual sterility in hybrid animals (1442 citations)
• The distribution of the numbers of mutants in bacterial populations. (1312 citations)
• Genetical studies on the skeleton of the mouse (565 citations)

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

The journal publications tackle a plethora of topics, such as Genetics, Evolutionary biology, Botany, Gene and Chromosome. The journal papers encompass presentations on Genetics, specifically Ploidy, Meiosis, Mutant, Melanogaster and Sterility. The published papers aim to bridge the gap between the study of Evolutionary biology and Inheritance (object-oriented programming).

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

• Gene
• Ecology
• Genetics

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The aim of Journal of Genetics is to expand the discussion of research in Genetics, Gene, Genotype, Horticulture and Allele. The in-depth study on Genetics also explores topics in the intersecting field of Disease. Discussions in it are anchored in the subject of Gene and the similar topic of Intellectual disability.

In particular, the Genotype works presented emphasize discussions on Polymorphism (computer science). Horticulture research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Candidate gene and Introgression. The studies in Genome featured incorporate elements of Genetic diversity, Genetic marker, Quantitative trait locus, Microsatellite and Computational biology.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Contributions of human ACE2 and TMPRSS2 in determining host-pathogen interaction of COVID-19 (5 citations)
• Eighty years of gene-for-gene relationship and its applications in identification and utilization of R genes (3 citations)
• Introgression and genetic mapping of leaf rust and stripe rust resistance in Aegilops triuncialis (2 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.

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, 14.67% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 6.25% 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 25.00% of all publications and 62.50% 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.
