Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Oral Microbiology?

Journal of Oral Microbiology mainly deals with areas of study such as Microbiology, Periodontitis, Biofilm, Immunology and Oral microbiology. Microbiology research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Porphyromonas gingivalis, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Streptococcus mutans, Bacteria and Virulence. Many of the research works in Porphyromonas gingivalis, specifically Fusobacterium nucleatum, closely connected to disciplines like Gingipain.

Virulence research discussed connects with the study of Genotype. The Periodontitis works featured in it incorporate elements from Microbiome and Disease. Journal of Oral Microbiology is focused mainly on Disease, particularly Oral Microbiome.

The concepts on Biofilm presented in Journal of Oral Microbiology can also apply to other research fields, including Dental plaque, Antimicrobial, In vivo and Candida albicans. The Immunology research presented in it explores the relationship between Saliva and the closely related topic of Physiology. Oral microbiology study tackled is connected to the field of Pathology.

  • Microbiology (45.33%)
  • Periodontitis (21.26%)
  • Biofilm (19.16%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Review of osteoimmunology and the host response in endodontic and periodontal lesions (223 citations)
  • Herpesviruses: latency and reactivation - viral strategies and host response (211 citations)
  • Pathogenesis and treatment of oral candidosis (209 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Journal of Oral Microbiology:

The journal articles are organized to address concerns in the fields of Oral microbiology, Microbiology, Periodontitis, Immunology and Porphyromonas gingivalis. The works on Microbiology tackled in the published papers bring together disciplines like Bacteria, Streptococcus mutans, Biofilm, Innate immune system and Dysbiosis. The most cited papers focus on Periodontitis but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Disease, Rheumatoid arthritis and Pathogenesis.

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

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • Internal medicine

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Microbiology, Saliva, Microbiome, Biofilm and Oral Microbiome are the subjects of interest in Journal of Oral Microbiology. While Journal of Oral Microbiology focused on Microbiology, it was also able to explore topics like Periodontitis, Recombinant DNA, Virulence and Bacteria. Topics in Saliva were tackled in line with various other fields like Gastroenterology, Cancer and 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak.

Some problems in Microbiome that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Metabolome, Metabolomics, Lung and Immunology. The journal explores research in Metabolite and overlapping concepts in Pathogenic bacteria to expand the discourse in Immunology. The journal addresses concerns in Biofilm which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Oral Microbiota, Oral health and Antimicrobial.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Potential implications of SARS-CoV-2 oral infection in the host microbiota. (15 citations)
  • Performance of at-home self-collected saliva and nasal-oropharyngeal swabs in the surveillance of COVID-19 (13 citations)
  • Periodontal tissues are targets for Sars-Cov-2: a post-mortem study (11 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.

The top authors publishing in Journal of Oral Microbiology (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Ingar Olsen (43 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Bruce J. Paster (17 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition,

The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.

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, 2.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 20.41% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.20% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 22.45% of all publications and 46.94% 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.
