The journal mainly deals with areas of study such as Virology, Immunology, Malaria, Environmental health and Internal medicine. The in-depth study on Virology also explores topics in the intersecting field of Microbiology. Pathogens and Global Health focused on Immunology research but expanded to cover Pediatrics.
In the Malaria research discussed, Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax and Parasitemia are all tackled. Pathogens and Global Health holds forums on Environmental health that merges themes from other disciplines such as Epidemiology, Disease and Public health. While Internal medicine is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Gastroenterology and Surgery.
The journal papers are organized to address concerns in the fields of Virology, Immunology, Environmental health, Malaria and Dengue fever. While Virology is the focus of the journal papers, it also provides insights into the studies of Coronavirus, Epidemiology and Microbiology. The published articles facilitate discussions on Immunology that incorporate concepts from other fields like Leishmania and Intensive care medicine.
The main points discussed in the journal deals with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), Pandemic, 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak and Virology. Pandemic research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Socioeconomic status, Demography and Public health. The Public health works featured in it incorporate elements from Disease, Malaria and Risk perception.
The study on 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak presented in it intersects with subjects under the field of Environmental health. The work on Environmental health tackled in Pathogens and Global Health brings together disciplines like Infectious disease (medical specialty), Wasting, Epidemiology and Malnutrition. The work tackled in Pathogens and Global Health goes beyond the discipline of Virology as it also encompasses Toxoplasma gondii.
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 Pathogens and Global Health (based on the number of publications) are:
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 Pathogens and Global Health (based on the number of publications) are:
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.
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, 7.23% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 7.79% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 16.88% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 19.48% of all publications and 55.84% were from other institutions.
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.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2021)For those interested in medicine but seeking alternative paths, exploring related online degrees can broaden career opportunities. Programs like the best dietitian programs offer specialized training in nutrition and healthcare, which plays a vital role in patient wellness and preventive medicine.
If direct patient care appeals to you, enrolling in medical assistant courses online can provide foundational healthcare skills with flexible learning options and financial aid. These courses often lead to rewarding entry-level positions in clinical settings.
Advancing from a medical assistant to a licensed practical nurse is another promising pathway. The medical assistant to LPN programs provide streamlined studies that prepare students to take on greater responsibilities within patient care teams.
For a strong scientific foundation, pursuing an online biology degree is an excellent option. Accelerated programs offer efficient routes to gaining essential knowledge that supports various healthcare careers, including pre-medical studies.
