Ophthalmic Genetics

Top Research Topics at Ophthalmic Genetics?

The journal mainly deals with areas of study such as Genetics, Ophthalmology, Pathology, Gene and Retinitis pigmentosa. Ophthalmic Genetics facilitated presentations on Genetics research, particularly Mutation, Mutation (genetic algorithm), Exon, Missense mutation and Phenotype. The presentations discussing Ophthalmology offer insights in topics such as Visual acuity, Retinal, Electroretinography, Fundus (eye) and Glaucoma.

Ophthalmic Genetics features Retinal research that overlaps with concepts in Retina. Electroretinography research discussed connects with the study of Erg. Glaucoma research presented is mostly focused on the subject of Open angle glaucoma.

Most of the Gene studies addressed also intersect with Molecular biology.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Ophthalmic Genetics:

The published papers investigate studies in Genetics, Ophthalmology, Mutation, Gene and Internal medicine. The featured Genetics studies in the published articles mainly concentrate on Molecular biology but also cover areas of interest in DNA. Dystrophy and Surgery are some topics wherein Ophthalmology research discussed in the published papers has an impact.

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

• Internal medicine
• Gene
• Mutation

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal focuses largely on the fields of Ophthalmology, Pathology, Genetics, Gene and Visual acuity. Ophthalmology research in Ophthalmic Genetics involves the investigation of Retinopathy studies, all of which are linked to disciplines such as Retinal pigment epithelium. It investigates Pathology in the context of the closely related subject of areas like

• Phenotype together with Retinal dystrophy,
• Retina that intertwine with fields like Compound heterozygosity..

Mutation, Sanger sequencing, Nonsense mutation, Polymorphism (computer science) and Mutation (genetic algorithm) are among the concentrations of Genetics that garnered much attention in Ophthalmic Genetics. The works on Mutation deal in particular with Missense mutation. Research on Electroretinography addressed in Ophthalmic Genetics frequently intersections with the field of Retinal degeneration.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Inherited retinal diseases are the most common cause of blindness in the working-age population in Australia. (4 citations)
• Peripheral pigmented lesions in ABCA4-associated retinopathy. (3 citations)
• The haplotype of the CDKN2B-AS1 gene is associated with primary open-angle glaucoma and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma in the Caucasian population of Central Russia. (2 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, 6.72% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 24.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.20% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 22.40% of all publications and 46.40% 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.
