Overview

Top Research Topics at Korean Journal of Parasitology?

The journal mostly deals with topics like Veterinary medicine, Helminths, Zoology, Immunology and Microbiology. Veterinary medicine research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Clonorchis sinensis, Feces, Prevalence, Epidemiology and Ascaris lumbricoides. The studies on Clonorchis sinensis discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Clonorchiasis and Pathology.

The research on Zoology tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Ecology, Larva, Anatomy and Intermediate host. Immunology studies presented include Antigen, Antibody and Immune system. Korean Journal of Parasitology focuses on Antigen research which is adjacent to topics in Molecular biology.

The Antibody study featured in Korean Journal of Parasitology draws connections with the study of Virology. While Virology is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Malaria and Toxoplasma gondii. Korean Journal of Parasitology emphasizes research on Microbiology, which includes concerns such as Acanthamoeba.

  • Gene

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The main research concerns discussed in the journal are Veterinary medicine, Helminths, Zoology, Clonorchis sinensis and Metagonimus. The studies in Veterinary medicine featured incorporate elements of Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus and Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome. Helminths research in the journal involves the investigation of Aquatic animal studies, all of which are linked to disciplines such as Prevalence.

Some problems in Zoology that were presented in Korean Journal of Parasitology overlapped with concepts under Clade, Phylogenetic tree and Intermediate host. It holds forums on Clonorchis sinensis that merges themes from other disciplines such as Trichuris trichiura and Ascaris lumbricoides. While Metagonimus is the key highlight in the journal, it also covered some subjects on Artificial digestion and Echinostoma, Zacco platypus, Pseudorasbora parva, Clinostomum complanatum and Metorchis orientalis.

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, 7.84% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 55.32% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.38% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.02% of all publications and 21.28% 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.
