Overview

Top Research Topics at Mediators of Inflammation?

The concepts of Immunology, Internal medicine, Inflammation, Endocrinology and Proinflammatory cytokine are tackled in the journal. The Immunology study featured in it draws connections with the study of Pharmacology. The journal links adjacent topics like Pharmacology with In vivo.

The studies on Internal medicine discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Gastroenterology and Diabetes mellitus. The journal focuses on Inflammation but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Cancer research, Pathology, Receptor and Signal transduction, Cell biology. Research on Endocrinology addressed in Mediators of Inflammation frequently intersections with the field of Downregulation and upregulation.

Mediators of Inflammation connects the study in Tumor necrosis factor alpha with the closely related area of Interleukin.

  • Immunology (41.89%)
  • Internal medicine (31.18%)
  • Inflammation (29.16%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

Research areas of the most cited articles at Mediators of Inflammation:

The published articles investigate areas of study like Immunology, Inflammation, Internal medicine, Proinflammatory cytokine and Endocrinology. Most of the works presented in the journal publications deal with Immunology but they intersect with the subject of Disease. Aside from discussions in Inflammation, the journal articles also deal with the subject of Pharmacology which intersects with Biochemistry disciplines.

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

  • Internal medicine

  • Enzyme

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The topics of Internal medicine, Inflammation, Proinflammatory cytokine, Cancer research and Pharmacology are the focal point of discussions in Mediators of Inflammation. The journal holds forums on Internal medicine that merges themes from other disciplines such as Gastroenterology and Endocrinology. The Inflammation study featured falls within the wider field of Immunology.

Topics in Proinflammatory cytokine explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Neuroinflammation and Cytokine. The research on Cancer research tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Tumor necrosis factor alpha and Downregulation and upregulation. It goes beyond the discussion of Pharmacology as it connects it with closely related disciplines like

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, 5.85% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 15.03% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 9.33% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.10% of all publications and 58.55% 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.
