Overview

Top Research Topics at Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology?

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology mainly deals with areas of study such as Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Receptor, Molecular biology and Cell biology. Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology focused on Internal medicine research but expanded to cover Messenger RNA. In the journal, Cell culture and Gene expression are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Endocrinology research.

Research in the field of Biochemistry was used to conduct the presented Receptor study. The majority of Biochemistry studies presented zero in on Enzyme. It facilitates discussions on Molecular biology that incorporate concepts from other fields like Complementary DNA, Transcription (biology), Regulation of gene expression, Gene and Promoter.

Cell biology research presented is mostly focused on the subject of Signal transduction. The work tackled in the journal goes beyond the discipline of Hormone as it also encompasses Thyroid. The research on Estrogen discussed in it draws on the closely related field of Estrogen receptor.

  • Internal medicine (59.07%)
  • Endocrinology (58.79%)
  • Receptor (18.79%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Preface to the IssueMolecular and Cellular Endocrinology: Special Issue: Endocrine Cell Lines (1247 citations)
  • Adipose tissue as an endocrine organ. (1184 citations)
  • The anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects of glucocorticoids, recent developments and mechanistic insights (804 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology:

The most cited publications are organized to reinforce research efforts on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Receptor, Cell biology and Molecular biology. The works on Cell biology tackled in the journal papers bring together disciplines like Genetics, Regulation of gene expression and Transcription factor. While work presented in the most cited papers provide substantial information on Molecular biology, it also covers topics in Gene expression, Complementary DNA, Messenger RNA, Gene and Exon.

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The discussions in Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology mainly cover the fields of Nuclear receptor, Cell biology, Receptor, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. The studies on Nuclear receptor discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Genetically modified organism, SUPERFAMILY, Estrogen receptor, Neuroscience and Mechanism (biology). Cell biology research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Adipocyte, Acetylation, Phenotype, Transcription factor and Messenger RNA.

Receptor research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Androgen receptor, Calcium and Ecdysone receptor. Specifically, studies on Insulin are prevalent in the Internal medicine works discussed. The research on Endocrinology tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Ceramide synthase, Cell damage and TLR4.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • OXER1 mediates testosterone-induced calcium responses in prostate cancer cells. (0 citations)
  • Cellular junction and mesenchymal factors delineate an endometriosis-specific response of endometrial stromal cells to the mesothelium. (0 citations)
  • Evolution of non-genomic nuclear receptor function. (0 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 Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Jacques Emile Dumont (50 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Ilpo Huhtaniemi (48 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Fernand Labrie (45 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Hironobu Sasano (38 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Peter C.K. Leung (33 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

The top affiliations publishing in Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology (based on the number of publications) are:

  • French Institute of Health and Medical Research (400 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 4 less than at the previous edition,
  • National Institutes of Health (204 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 5 less than at the previous edition,
  • Erasmus University Rotterdam (129 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Centre national de la recherche scientifique (128 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (115 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 2022 edition, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 20.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 70.00% 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.
