Overview

Top Research Topics at new microbes and new infections?

New microbes and new infections investigates areas of study like Microbiology, Culturomics, Bacteria, Gene and Virology. While work presented in new microbes and new infections provided substantial information on Microbiology, it also covered topics in Gut flora, Human gut, 16S ribosomal RNA and Genome, Strain (biology). Genome research presented is mostly focused on the subject of Whole genome sequencing.

Some problems in Culturomics that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Taxonomy (biology), Stool sample, Genus and Human microbiome. In particular, the Gene works presented emphasize discussions on Plasmid. The studies in Virology featured incorporate elements of Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Most of the works presented in new microbes and new infections deals with Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) but it intersects with the subject of Pandemic.

  • Microbiology (49.85%)
  • Culturomics (23.25%)

Research areas of the most cited articles at new microbes and new infections:

The most cited papers facilitate discussions on Microbiology, Virology, Outbreak, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and Antibiotics. Issues in Microbiology were discussed in the published papers, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Gene and Multilocus sequence typing. The most cited papers with studies in Virology featured incorporate elements of Serology and Disease.

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

  • Bacteria
  • Internal medicine
  • Disease

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal is mainly concerned with subjects like Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Microbiology, Internal medicine, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak. The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) study presented in the journal encompasses related topics like Pandemic and also examines its connection to subjects such as In patient. Pandemic research in new microbes and new infections involves the investigation of Environmental health studies, all of which are linked to disciplines such as Outbreak.

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, 8.80% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 30.70% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.02% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.54% of all publications and 44.74% 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.
