Overview

Top Research Topics at Mycoses?

The journal focuses on Microbiology, Candida albicans, Dermatology, Mycosis and Internal medicine. The Microbiology study featured in it draws parallels with the field of Yeast. The works on Candida albicans deal in particular with Corpus albicans.

Tinea capitis is a focus of the presented Dermatology works and it dives deep in Tinea capitis. It features Mycosis research which is a component of studies in Surgery and Immunology. It focused on Surgery research but expanded to cover Gynecology.

The journal explores research in Aspergillosis and overlapping concepts in Aspergillus to expand the discourse in Internal medicine. In addition to Dermatophyte research, it aims to explore topics under Trichophyton, Trichophyton rubrum and Microsporum canis. The journal connects research in Amphotericin B with the related topic of Itraconazole.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Surgery

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal covers a variety of subjects, including Internal medicine, Microbiology, Epidemiology, Aspergillosis and Incidence (epidemiology). The overlapping concepts between Gastroenterology and Galactomannan are the key highlights of Internal medicine study. The journal facilitated presentations on Microbiology research, particularly Voriconazole, Itraconazole, Posaconazole, Terbinafine and Fluconazole.

The Itraconazole research presented in the journal explores the relationship between Amphotericin B and the closely related topic of Mucormycosis. Mycoses features Epidemiology research that overlaps with concepts in Dermatology. While the primary focus in it is Incidence (epidemiology), it also dissects topics surrounding Pediatrics and Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and Diabetes mellitus as a whole.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • The double-edged sword of systemic corticosteroid therapy in viral pneumonia: A case report and comparative review of influenza-associated mucormycosis versus COVID-19 associated mucormycosis. (32 citations)
  • Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in the COVID-19 era: An expected new entity. (29 citations)
  • Prevalence of opportunistic invasive aspergillosis in COVID-19 patients with severe pneumonia (20 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 Mycoses (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Oliver A. Cornely (81 papers) published 8 papers at the last edition, 3 less than at the previous edition,
  • G.S. de Hoog (73 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Jacques F. Meis (60 papers) published 8 papers at the last edition, 3 more than at the previous edition,

  • Hans Christian Korting (44 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 Mycoses (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (80 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (73 papers) published 12 papers at the last edition, 8 more than at the previous edition,

  • University of Würzburg (64 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • University of Freiburg (52 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 2021 edition, 3.76% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 10.61% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.38% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.67% of all publications and 60.34% 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.
