Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of global antimicrobial resistance?

The journal primarily tackles Microbiology, Antibiotic resistance, Gene, Antibiotics and Genetics. It holds forums on Microbiology that merges themes from other disciplines such as Plasmid, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and Multilocus sequence typing. The journal addresses concerns in the field of Klebsiella pneumoniae by exploring it in line with topics in Colistin which intersect with Tigecycline subjects.

Typing and Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis are some topics wherein Multilocus sequence typing research discussed in the journal have an impact. Topics in Antibiotic resistance explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Veterinary medicine, Ciprofloxacin, Antimicrobial and Staphylococcus aureus. Virulence is a focus of the presented Gene works and it dives deep in Virulence.

It dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Antibiotics and Internal medicine. The majority of Genetics studies are focused on the issues of Genome. The studies on Drug resistance discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Virology and Tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Microbiology, Antibiotic resistance, Genetics, Internal medicine and Gene. Microbiology research presented in Journal of global antimicrobial resistance encompasses a variety of subjects, including Ceftazidime and Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli. The subject of Antimicrobial, which is connected to the field of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, serves as the foundation of the Antibiotic resistance research featured in the journal.

Journal of global antimicrobial resistance explores Genetics concepts, specifically Genome, Whole genome sequencing and Genomics but expands to research in Resistome. Journal of global antimicrobial resistance facilitates discussions on Internal medicine that incorporate concepts from other fields like Antibiotics and Drug resistance. Integron research are fields of study within Plasmid but they also intertwine with concepts in Context (language use).

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, 6.40% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 9.83% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.41% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.81% of all publications and 67.95% 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.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

For those interested in medicine but seeking flexible educational options, several online degree pathways offer valuable alternatives. Aspiring nurses can explore accelerated routes such as asn to np programs, which allow Registered Nurses (RNs) to advance directly to Nurse Practitioner roles, combining convenience with career growth.

Non-nurses with a passion for healthcare can consider direct entry msn programs online. These programs are designed to quickly transition students into advanced nursing without prior nursing experience, opening new opportunities in clinical leadership and patient care.

When choosing a program, it’s important to weigh your options carefully. For example, comparing capella university vs wgu rn to bsn programs reveals differences in curriculum, flexibility, and support services, helping you find the best fit for your needs.

Finally, cost is a major factor in education decisions. Many students choose affordable pathways like the rn to msn bridge programs that provide a cost-effective way to gain advanced nursing credentials while balancing work and study.
