Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry?

Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry primarily tackles Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Biochemistry, Oxidative stress and Cholesterol. Studies on Internal medicine discussed in it link to the field of Polyunsaturated fatty acid. It encompasses presentations on Polyunsaturated fatty acid, specifically Docosahexaenoic acid and Eicosapentaenoic acid.

The work on Endocrinology addressed in Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry expands to the thematically related Offspring. Some problems in Biochemistry that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Molecular biology, Food science and Pharmacology. The majority of Cholesterol studies are focused on the issues of Lipoprotein.

Proinflammatory cytokine is a major topic of Inflammation research presented in the journal. Lipid peroxidation is the primary subject of Antioxidant works presented in the journal. White adipose tissue and Adipocyte are some of the facets of Adipose tissue tackled in Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry.

  • Internal medicine (57.08%)

  • Internal medicine

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal focuses on Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Cancer research, Inflammation and Gut flora. Issues in Endocrinology were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Offspring, Lactation and In vivo. Interdisciplinary research on topics like Internal medicine and Context (language use) are the foci of it.

Aside from discussions in Cancer research, Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry also deals with the subject of Signal transduction which intersects with Curcumin, Downregulation and upregulation, Osteolysis and Gene expression disciplines. While the journal focused on Inflammation, it was also able to explore topics like Adipose tissue, Oxidative stress and Secretion. The studies in Gut flora featured incorporate elements of Food science and Prebiotic.

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 2022 edition, 5.26% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 11.11% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.56% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 27.78% of all publications and 55.56% 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.

College Collaborations with Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry

A significant aspect of the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry's research contributions comes from collaborations with academic institutions. Many colleges and universities have recognized programs connected to the research subjects presented in the journal. For instance, to study biochemistry, internal medicine, endocrinology, or other related topics, several universities offer specialized programs that prepare students for these robust research areas. Primarily, students studying topics like Polyunsaturated fatty acid, Antioxidants, Oxidative stress, etc., often contribute to research papers published in this journal. Selected studies become a part of the journal's editions, further expanding the academic reach and contributing to the body of knowledge in these fields. It's also noteworthy that some universities have specific programs geared towards the subjects explored in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry. For instance, the medical assistant programs in South Dakota provide comprehensive courses on internal medicine and endocrinology, which are primary topics discussed in this journal. The continuous collaboration between academic institutions and the journal stimulates a research-friendly environment, fosters innovative thinking, and ensures a steady flow of high-quality, well-researched articles for publication. This symbiotic relationship thus significantly enhances the journal's depth and breadth of scientific research and knowledge dissemination.
