Journal of Pediatric Genetics

Top Research Topics at Journal of pediatric genetics?

Genetics, Pediatrics, Pathology, Gene and Internal medicine are the subjects of interest in Journal of pediatric genetics. Genetics, which encompasses Phenotype, Mutation, Intellectual disability, Exome sequencing and Missense mutation, is the main subject of it. The research on Intellectual disability discussed in it draws on the closely related field of Epilepsy.

Many of the studies tackled connect Exome sequencing with a similar field of study like Exon. The concepts on Pediatrics presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Disease, Etiology and Genetic testing. It focused on Disease research but expanded to cover Bioinformatics.

Journal of pediatric genetics facilitates discussions on Internal medicine that incorporate concepts from other fields like Gastroenterology and Endocrinology.

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

• Gene
• Mutation
• Internal medicine

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Journal of pediatric genetics is organized to address concerns in the fields of Pediatrics, Gene, Internal medicine, Pathology and Disease. The Pediatrics works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Intellectual disability, 1p36 deletion syndrome, Etiology, Genetic testing and Rare disease. The studies on Intellectual disability discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Craniofacial and Epilepsy.

The Gene study featured falls within the wider field of Genetics. In the journal, Gastroenterology, Endocrinology and Polymorphism (computer science), Genotype are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Internal medicine research. In addition to Pathology research, it aims to explore topics under Hypotonia, Penetrance and Short stature.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Complex Neurological Phenotype Associated with a De Novo DHDDS Mutation in a Boy with Intellectual Disability, Refractory Epilepsy, and Movement Disorder (2 citations)
• Next-Generation Sequencing in a Cohort of Asian Indian Patients with the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Phenotype: Diagnostic Yield and Mutation Spectrum. (2 citations)
• Pseudohypoparathyroidism with Ectopic Calcification and 22q11 Deletion Syndrome: A Rare Case. (2 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.

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, 16.30% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 28.57% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.79% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.78% of all publications and 42.86% 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.
