Molecular Cytogenetics

Top Research Topics at Molecular Cytogenetics?

The aim of the journal is to expand the discussion of research in Cytogenetics, Genetics, Human genetics, Bioinformatics and Karyotype. Cytogenetics research discussed in the journal aim to provide more information in the subject of Chromosome. The journal facilitated presentations on Genetics research, particularly Gene duplication, Gene, Breakpoint, Trisomy and Aneuploidy.

The journal explores issues in Human genetics which can be linked to other research areas like Molecular medicine, Phenotype, Genome, Intellectual disability and Computational biology. The journal focuses on Bioinformatics but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Cancer research and Internal medicine. Myeloid leukemia is part of Cancer research studies tackled in Molecular Cytogenetics.

The journal links adjacent topics like Internal medicine with Oncology. While the journal focused on Karyotype, it was also able to explore topics like Prenatal diagnosis, Molecular biology and Pathology. It facilitates discussions on Prenatal diagnosis that incorporate concepts from other fields like Genetic counseling and Obstetrics.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Molecular Cytogenetics:

The main points discussed in the published papers deal with Cytogenetics, Genetics, Human genetics, Chromosome and Karyotype. While work presented in the published articles provide substantial information on Cytogenetics, it also covers topics in Aneuploidy, Bioinformatics, Gene duplication, Fluorescence in situ hybridization and Comparative genomic hybridization. The journal publications focus on Human genetics but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Cancer, Phenotype, Microdeletion syndrome, Genome instability and Computational biology.

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

• Gene
• Mutation
• Internal medicine

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal generally zeroes in on subjects such as Cytogenetics, Genetics, Chromosome, Human genetics and Karyotype. Some problems in Cytogenetics that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Chromosomal translocation, Trisomy, Molecular biology, Fluorescence in situ hybridization and Uniparental disomy. The study on Genetics presented in the journal intersects with the topics under Wheat diseases.

While work presented in Molecular Cytogenetics provided substantial information on Chromosome, it also covered topics in Hypoparathyroidism, DiGeorge syndrome and GATA3. The studies in Human genetics featured incorporate elements of Bioinformatics, Molecular medicine, Genome, Intellectual disability and Myeloid leukemia. The Karyotype works featured in it incorporate elements from Chromosome 22, Aneuploidy and Copy-number variation.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic myeloid leukemia with 5q deletion at diagnosis (1 citations)
• Chinese hamster ovary cell line DXB-11: chromosomal instability and karyotype heterogeneity (1 citations)
• Turner's syndrome mosaicism in girls with neurodevelopmental disorders: a cohort study and hypothesis. (1 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, 12.50% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 21.43% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 4.76% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 26.19% of all publications and 47.62% 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.
