Overview

Top Research Topics at Mammalian Genome?

The primary areas of discussion in Mammalian Genome are Genetics, Gene, Human genetics, Molecular biology and Locus (genetics). Chromosome, Genome, Quantitative trait locus, Allele and Genetic linkage are all subfields of Genetics research that were featured in Mammalian Genome. Genome works presented in it have a specific focus on Human genome.

It addresses concerns in Quantitative trait locus which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Congenic, Inbred strain and Genotype. Genetic linkage research featured in Mammalian Genome incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Genetic marker and Microsatellite. Gene studies presented in the journal focus on topics such as Exon, Complementary DNA, Phenotype, Gene mapping and Intron.

It explores topics in Human genetics which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Computational biology and Gene map. Some problems in Molecular biology that were presented in Mammalian Genome overlapped with concepts under genomic DNA, DNA, Mutation, Mutant and Peptide sequence. Mammalian Genome features Locus (genetics) research that overlaps with concepts in Candidate gene.

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Human genetics, Gene, Computational biology, Cancer research and Genetics are the subjects of interest in the journal. Topics in Human genetics explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Microbiome, Bioinformatics, Phenotype, Genome and Disease. Allele, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Exon, Chromosome and Genetic marker studies are all carried out as a component of the study in Gene presented.

Topics in Computational biology were tackled in line with various other fields like Translational research, Functional studies, Gene expression and Function (biology). The studies on Cancer research discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Apoptosis, Cell culture, Circular RNA and Cell growth. Many of the studies tackled connect Genetics with a similar field of study like Acute kidney injury.

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 Mammalian Genome (based on the number of publications) are:

  • James E. Womack (49 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Steve D.M. Brown (42 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Jean-Louis Guénet (42 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Claude Szpirer (40 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Martine Yerle (38 papers) absent at the last edition.

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

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

  • University of Michigan (108 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Pasteur Institute (88 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Texas A&M University (81 papers) absent 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, 15.94% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 8.62% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 1.72% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.24% of all publications and 72.41% 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.
