Journal of Neurogenetics

Top Research Topics at Journal of Neurogenetics?

The journal primarily focuses on research topics in Genetics, Neuroscience, Drosophila melanogaster, Cell biology and Mutant. Gene, Allele, Mutation, Locus (genetics) and Phenotype are Genetics topics of special interest in Journal of Neurogenetics. The research on Gene discussed in the journal draws on the closely related field of Molecular biology.

The study on Neuroscience presented in it intersects with subjects under the field of Mushroom bodies. Drosophila melanogaster research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Period (gene), Courtship and Anatomy. While work presented in Journal of Neurogenetics provided substantial information on Cell biology, it also covered topics in Neuromuscular junction, Drosophila (subgenus) and Neurotransmission.

Wild type is a focus of the presented Mutant works and it dives deep in Wild type.

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

The most cited articles tackle a plethora of topics, such as Drosophila melanogaster, Genetics, Mutant, Neuroscience and Cell biology. The published articles hold forums on Drosophila melanogaster that merge themes from other disciplines such as Courtship display, Anatomy and Nervous system. The published articles explore issues in Neuroscience which can be linked to other research areas like Medulla and Neurogenetics.

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

• Gene
• Internal medicine
• Genetics

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Journal of Neurogenetics is organized to address concerns in the fields of Drosophila melanogaster, Foraging, Genetics, Evolutionary biology and Drosophila. In particular, the Drosophila melanogaster works presented emphasize discussions on Melanogaster. The work on Genetics addressed in it expands to the thematically related Oculogyric crisis.

While the primary focus in the journal is Metamorphosis, it also dissects topics surrounding Peptide expression and Cell biology as a whole. The Sleep in non-human animals research discussed is included in the broader subject of Neuroscience. Long-term potentiation and AMPA receptor are some topics wherein Neuroscience research discussed in it have an impact.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• A cGMP-dependent protein kinase, encoded by the Drosophila foraging gene, regulates neurotransmission through changes in synaptic structure and function. (4 citations)
• Neurodevelopmental and transcriptomic effects of CRISPR/Cas9-induced somatic orco mutation in honey bees. (4 citations)
• The Drosophila melanogaster foraging gene affects social networks. (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.

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, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 32.50% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 22.50% of all publications and 40.00% 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.
