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, 13.64% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 31.58% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.26% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 5.26% of all publications and 57.89% 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.

Effective Educated Practices in Computational Biology

The Journal of Integrative Bioinformatics is indeed a valuable resource for anyone interested in the fields of Computational biology, Data mining, Artificial intelligence, and Genetics. However, its utilization is not solely confined to those in research and academia. Practical applications of the knowledge and insights presented within these studies could also be indispensable for educators in fields related to computational sciences. It's fundamentally important for those engaged in education to be cognizant and well-experienced in the use of innovative technologies within their teaching methodology. Especially for subjects like math and science where the integration of computational techniques can significantly enhance learning outcomes. Teachers who stay updated with current research in Computational Biology, for example, are in a better position to create engaging, relevant curriculum and effectively impart it to their students. For aspiring teachers in computational or mathematical sciences, it becomes especially critical to acquaint themselves with latest research and applications. A basic understanding of computational biology could be a valuable asset for those considering careers in education. For instance, a comprehensive guide on how to become a middle school math teacher in Arkansas emphasizes the importance of being equipped with the latest educational and technological tools pertaining to computational sciences. In conclusion, having access to cutting-edge research such as the kind presented in the Journal of Integrative Bioinformatics is of paramount importance. It equips educators with the knowledge needed to prepare the future generation of scientists and teachers who will go on to make transformative contributions to fields like Computational Biology, Artificial Intelligence and more.
