Overview

Top Research Topics at Metallomics?

The journal explores disciplines such as Biochemistry, Cell biology, Stereochemistry, Zinc and Metal. Metallomics connects the study in Biochemistry with the closely related area of Copper. The study on Cell biology featured in Metallomics expounds on the topic of Homeostasis in particular.

In addition to Stereochemistry research, it aims to explore topics under Ligand and Binding site. The majority of Metal studies presented zero in on Metal ions in aqueous solution. The work tackled in it goes beyond the discipline of Intracellular as it also encompasses Biophysics.

The study on Oxidative stress presented in the journal intersects with the topics under Reactive oxygen species.

  • Biochemistry (29.68%)
  • Cell biology (11.47%)
  • Stereochemistry (10.75%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Recent developments in ruthenium anticancer drugs. (454 citations)
  • Inhibition of transcription by platinum antitumor compounds (389 citations)
  • Selenium biochemistry and its role for human health (347 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Metallomics:

The published papers cover a variety of subjects, including Biochemistry, Zinc, Cell biology, Metal and Stereochemistry. The studies on Biochemistry discussed at the most cited publications can also contribute to research in the domains of Redox, Toxicity and Copper. While the published articles focused on Stereochemistry, they were also able to explore topics like Enzyme, Molecule, Cisplatin and Cytotoxicity.

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Internal medicine

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal primarily focuses on research topics in Cell biology, Biochemistry, Selenium, Oxidative stress and Metal. While Cell biology is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Chemical biology and Transcription factor, Gene, Downregulation and upregulation. Isothermal titration calorimetry, Glutathione, Enzyme, Binding site and In vitro are all aspects of Biochemistry discussed in it.

The concepts on Selenium presented in Metallomics can also apply to other research fields, including Food science, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Environmental chemistry, Assimilation (biology) and Metabolism. The research on Oxidative stress featured in the journal combines topics in other fields like Receptor, Methylmercury and Antioxidant. The journal addresses concerns in Metal which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Brassicaceae, Enzymatic synthesis, Oligonucleotide and Nickel.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • In silico analysis of selenoprotein N (Gallus gallus): absence of EF-hand motif and the role of CUGS-helix domain in antioxidant protection. (5 citations)

  • Zinc stable isotope analysis reveals Zn dyshomeostasis in benign tumours, breast cancer, and adjacent histologically normal tissue. (2 citations)

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 Metallomics (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Uwe Karst (24 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous 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, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 19.12% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.29% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.71% of all publications and 55.88% 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.
