Molecular Biology Reports

Top Research Topics at Molecular Biology Reports?

The journal investigates studies in Gene, Genetics, Molecular biology, Internal medicine and Biochemistry. Gene studies presented include Gene expression, Regulation of gene expression, Exon, Gene expression profiling and Sequence analysis. Genetics, which encompasses Genotype, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Haplotype, Genome and Candidate gene, is the main subject of the journal.

It explores topics in Genotype which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Immunology, Case-control study and Allele. The main emphasis of Molecular Biology Reports is the subject of Single-nucleotide polymorphism, focusing on SNP. The presented Molecular biology research focuses mostly on Complementary DNA and, on occasion, topics in Open reading frame.

The Internal medicine works featured in Molecular Biology Reports incorporate elements from Gastroenterology, Endocrinology and Oncology. The work on Biochemistry presented in Molecular Biology Reports focuses on Enzyme in particular. Molecular Biology Reports connects the study in Meta-analysis with the closely related area of Bioinformatics.

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:

Gene, Cancer research, Internal medicine, Cell biology and Genetics are the subjects of interest in the journal. Gene expression and Transcriptome are some of the facets of Gene tackled in the journal. Topics in Cancer research explored in Molecular Biology Reports were investigated in conjunction with research in Cancer cell, Cancer, Metastasis, Apoptosis and microRNA.

The research on Internal medicine featured in it combines topics in other fields like Endocrinology, Oncology, Gastroenterology, Real-time polymerase chain reaction and Genotype. The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Genotype, apply to Allele as well. Genome is a major topic of Genetics research.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• A review on mechanism of inhibition of advanced glycation end products formation by plant derived polyphenolic compounds (9 citations)
• Mobilized colistin resistance (mcr) genes from 1 to 10: a comprehensive review. (7 citations)
• Silent hypoxia in COVID-19: pathomechanism and possible management strategy. (6 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, 4.58% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 4.27% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.40% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 9.47% of all publications and 77.87% 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.
