Molecular Medicine Reports

Top Research Topics at Molecular Medicine Reports?

The main points discussed in the journal deals with Cancer research, Cell cycle, Oncogene, Apoptosis and Cell. Molecular Medicine Reports facilitates discussions on Cancer research that incorporate concepts from other fields like Protein kinase B, Gene knockdown, Carcinogenesis, Cancer cell and Metastasis. The study of Cell biology and how it intertwines with concepts under Cellular differentiation were explored in the presented Cell cycle research.

The journal explores issues in Oncogene which can be linked to other research areas like microRNA, Downregulation and upregulation and Molecular medicine. The overlapping concepts between Regulation of gene expression and Gene expression profiling are the key highlights of microRNA study. In it, Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Endocrinology, Molecular biology and Pharmacology are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Apoptosis research.

The Pharmacology research presented in Molecular Medicine Reports explores the relationship between Oxidative stress and the closely related topic of Reactive oxygen species. The Cell study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Flow cytometry. It focuses on Internal medicine but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Immunology, Gastroenterology and Oncology.

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Molecular Medicine Reports mostly deals with topics like Oncogene, Cancer research, Cell cycle, Cell and Apoptosis. It covers Oncogene research under the subject of Internal medicine. Research in PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and the interrelating topic of Autophagy were among the subjects of interest in the Cancer research studies discussed in the journal.

Cell cycle research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Cell growth, Gene knockdown, Viability assay, Cell biology and Gene silencing. While work presented in Molecular Medicine Reports provided substantial information on Cell, it also covered topics in Cell culture, Transfection, Small interfering RNA and Flow cytometry. The studies in Apoptosis featured incorporate elements of Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Inflammation, Molecular biology, Signal transduction and Pharmacology.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

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, 19.52% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 22.76% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 16.98% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 26.12% of all publications and 34.14% 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.
