Particle and Fibre Toxicology

Top Research Topics at Particle and Fibre Toxicology?

The journal focuses on Pathology, Toxicity, Inflammation, Biophysics and Lung. It tackles issues in Pathology, particularly in the topics of Pulmonary fibrosis and Fibrosis. The journal focuses on Toxicity but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Pharmacology and In vivo.

It addresses concerns in Inflammation which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Oxidative stress, Molecular biology and Cell biology. Research in the field of Endocrinology was used to conduct the presented Oxidative stress study. Issues in Biophysics were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like In vitro, Cytotoxicity, Nanoparticle, Nanotechnology and Reactive oxygen species.

The journal connects research in Nanotechnology with the related topic of Pharmacology toxicology. The concepts on Lung presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Inhalation and Inhalation exposure. The presentations focused mostly on Inhalation exposure in an attempt to further explore topics in Internal medicine.

The studies on Pathology discussed at the published articles can also contribute to research in the domains of Inhalation, Inflammation, Lung, Pulmonary toxicity and Respiratory system. The Nanotechnology research presented in the journal articles focuses mostly on Pharmacology toxicology and, on occasion, topics in Particulates.

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

• Internal medicine
• Gene
• Enzyme

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The topics of Biophysics, Inflammation, Toxicity, Lung and Cell biology are the focal point of discussions in the journal. While Particle and Fibre Toxicology focused on Biophysics, it was also able to explore topics like In vitro, Cytotoxicity, Reactive oxygen species, Nanotoxicology and Internalization. Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Molecular biology, Bronchoalveolar lavage and Inhalation exposure are some topics wherein Inflammation research discussed in it have an impact.

The journal explores studies in Toxicity as part of the wider topic of Internal medicine. While Lung is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Lymph, Pathology and Cancer research. In Particle and Fibre Toxicology, Cell, In vivo and HaCaT are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Cell biology research.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Underestimated health risks: polystyrene micro- and nanoplastics jointly induce intestinal barrier dysfunction by ROS-mediated epithelial cell apoptosis (5 citations)
• Airborne particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) triggers ocular hypertension and glaucoma through pyroptosis. (5 citations)
• Exposure to diesel exhaust particles results in altered lung microbial profiles, associated with increased reactive oxygen species/reactive nitrogen species and inflammation, in C57Bl/6 wildtype mice on a high-fat diet (4 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, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 26.32% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.53% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.42% 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.
