Research areas of the most cited articles at Nucleus:

The published articles generally zeroe in on subjects such as Cell biology, Genetics, Chromatin, Lamin and Nuclear lamina. Aside from discussions in Cell biology, the journal papers also deal with the subject of Cytoskeleton which intersects with Botany disciplines. The published papers address concerns in the field of Genetics by exploring it in line with topics in Computational biology which intersect with Genomic organization subjects.

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

• Gene
• Botany
• Ecology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal mainly deals with areas of study such as Chromosome, Epigenetics, Karyotype, Ploidy and Cell biology. The presented Chromosome research provided insight into the related

• Meiosis together with Pollen,
• Botany that connect with fields like Intraspecific competition and Genetic diversity.. Epigenetics research presented falls under the umbrella topic of Genetics.

Karyotype research in Nucleus involves the investigation of Centromere studies, all of which are linked to disciplines such as Nucleolus organizer region, Zoology, Heterochromatin and Evolutionary biology. The study of Chromatin serves as the foundation of the Heterochromatin research discussed in the journal. The journal holds forums on Cell biology that merges themes from other disciplines such as Transcription factor, Chromatin remodeling and microRNA.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Chromosome change and karyotype differentiation–implications in speciation and plant systematics (4 citations)
• Natural insecticidal proteins, the promising bio-control compounds for future crop protection (4 citations)
• Evolution and diversification of the nuclear envelope. (3 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, 21.90% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 17.07% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 13.41% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 23.17% of all publications and 46.34% 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.
