Mitochondrion

Top Research Topics at Mitochondrion?

The journal focuses largely on the fields of Mitochondrion, Mitochondrial DNA, Genetics, Cell biology and Biochemistry. Topics in Mitochondrion were tackled in line with various other fields like Oxidative stress, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Apoptosis and Oxidative phosphorylation. Some problems in Mitochondrial DNA that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Mutation, Molecular biology and Genome.

Gene, Mitochondrial disease, Haplogroup, Mutation (genetic algorithm) and Phenotype are some of the study areas of Genetics discussed. mitochondrial fusion and Programmed cell death are some topics wherein Cell biology research discussed in it have an impact. Reactive oxygen species and Respiratory chain are all areas of Biochemistry tackled in it.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Mitochondrion:

Mitochondrion, Cell biology, Biochemistry, Mitochondrial DNA and Genetics are the main subjects of interest in the published papers. The most cited articles go beyond the discussion of Mitochondrion and connect it with closely related disciplines like

• Oxidative phosphorylation, which have a strong connection to Internal medicine,
• Reactive oxygen species that intertwine with fields like Cell signaling.. The studies on Mitochondrial DNA discussed at the published articles can also contribute to research in the domains of Molecular biology, DNA and Mitochondrial biogenesis.

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

• Gene
• Internal medicine
• Enzyme

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal primarily focuses on research topics in Mitochondrion, Cell biology, Mitochondrial DNA, Oxidative phosphorylation and Oxidative stress. Mitochondrion research presented is mostly focused on the subject of Mitochondrial biogenesis. While the primary focus in Mitochondrion is Cell biology, it also dissects topics surrounding Mitophagy and Cellular homeostasis as a whole.

Mitochondrial DNA research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Genome and Haplogroup. The Oxidative phosphorylation works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Biogenesis and Mitochondrial disease. Topics in Oxidative stress explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Reactive oxygen species, Pharmacology and Pathogenesis.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Complex IV - The regulatory center of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. (10 citations)
• Stressed mitochondria: A target to intrude alzheimer's disease. (9 citations)
• Stress and circulating cell-free mitochondrial DNA: A systematic review of human studies, physiological considerations, and technical recommendations. (7 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.

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, 2.10% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 6.43% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.43% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 21.43% of all publications and 65.71% 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.
