Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics?

Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Pharmacology, Biochemistry and Receptor are the subjects of interest in Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics. Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics covers various topics on Internal medicine such as Agonist, Stimulation, Norepinephrine (medication), Dopamine and Adrenergic receptor. While Endocrinology is the focus of Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, it also provided insights into the studies of Calcium and Serotonin.

The concepts on Pharmacology presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Anesthesia, Antagonist and In vivo. Anesthesia and Blood pressure are closely related fields of research discussed in the journal. In vivo research discussed connects with the study of In vitro.

Biochemistry research featured in Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Molecular biology and Biophysics.

  • Internal medicine (45.06%)
  • Endocrinology (43.03%)
  • Pharmacology (34.00%)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics:

The published articles mostly deal with topics like Pharmacology, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Receptor and Biochemistry. The journal papers focus on Pharmacology but sometimes tackle the closely related topic of In vivo which is concerned with In vitro. The majority of Endocrinology studies in the most cited papers are focused on the issues of Dopamine.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme
  • Pharmacology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The aim of Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics is to expand the discussion of research in Pharmacology, In vivo, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Pharmacokinetics. While Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics focused on Pharmacology, it was also able to explore topics like Agonist, Receptor, Opioid and Inflammation. The research on Receptor featured in it combines topics in other fields like Cancer research and Cell biology.

The journal addresses concerns in In vivo which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Organic anion-transporting polypeptide and In vitro. Many of the studies tackled connect Internal medicine with a similar field of study like Cardiology. Angiotensin II and Kidney are all topics related to Endocrinology research discussed.

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, 8.97% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 10.56% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 3.52% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 25.35% of all publications and 60.56% 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.
