Journal of Reproductive Immunology focuses on Immunology, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Pregnancy and Andrology. The studies in Immunology featured incorporate elements of Fetus and Trophoblast. The Internal medicine study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Gastroenterology.

Endocrinology research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Placenta, Receptor and Cell biology. The concepts on Pregnancy presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Gynecology and Obstetrics. Journal of Reproductive Immunology dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Andrology and Embryo.

The journal explores issues in Antibody which can be linked to other research areas like Sperm and Molecular biology. The journal explores research in Sperm and the adjacent study of Semen. The study on Molecular biology presented in the journal intersects with the topics under Monoclonal antibody.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Journal of Reproductive Immunology:

The main points discussed in the journal articles deal with Immunology, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Pregnancy and Immune system. While the journal publications focused on Immunology, they were also able to explore topics like Andrology and Trophoblast. While Endocrinology is the focus of the published articles, it also provides insights into the studies of Decidua and Cell biology.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Immune system

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Journal of Reproductive Immunology mainly deals with areas of study such as Pregnancy, Andrology, Immune system, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. The presented Pregnancy research focuses mostly on Obstetrics and, on occasion, topics in Intrauterine growth restriction, Gestational diabetes and Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Placenta, Decidua, Cytokine and Recurrent miscarriage are some topics wherein Andrology research discussed in the journal have an impact.

It tackles topics on Immune system, which can potentially contribute to the wider field of Immunology. The close relationship between Gastroenterology and Angiogenesis, Peritoneal fluid and Biomarker (medicine) is one of the points of interest dissected in Internal medicine research. It facilitates discussions on Endocrinology that incorporate concepts from other fields like Proinflammatory cytokine and Agonist.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Maternal immune responses and obstetrical outcomes of pregnant women with COVID-19 and possible health risks of offspring. (12 citations)
  • A randomized exploratory trial to assess the effects of resveratrol on VEGF and TNF-α 2 expression in endometriosis women. (7 citations)
  • Probiotic intervention as a potential therapeutic for managing gestational disorders and improving pregnancy outcomes. (5 citations)

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, 3.51% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 18.18% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.91% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.73% of all publications and 68.18% 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.
