Overview

Top Research Topics at Pediatric Allergy and Immunology?

Pediatric Allergy and Immunology primarily tackles Immunology, Allergy, Asthma, Pediatrics and Internal medicine. It tackles issues in Immunology, particularly in the topics of Immunoglobulin E, Sensitization, Immunopathology, Allergen and Immune system. The journal explores the study of Immunoglobulin E to improve our understanding of the broader topic of Antibody.

The Sensitization study featured in it draws parallels with the field of Allergic sensitization. The work on Allergy tackled in it brings together disciplines like Dermatology and Atopic dermatitis. Asthma research presented in Pediatric Allergy and Immunology encompasses a variety of subjects, including Odds ratio, Respiratory disease, Cohort and Risk factor.

While the journal focused on Pediatrics, it was also able to explore topics like Pregnancy, Epidemiology, Cohort study and Disease. While Internal medicine is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Gastroenterology, Placebo and Endocrinology. Pediatric Allergy and Immunology explores research in Food allergy and the adjacent study of Environmental health.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Pediatric Allergy and Immunology:

The published papers mainly deal with areas of study such as Allergy, Immunology, Asthma, Pediatrics and Atopy. The most cited publications focus on Allergy but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Internal medicine, El Niño and Sensitization. Dermatology and Respiratory disease are some topics wherein Immunology research discussed in the journal publications has an impact.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Immune system

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal covers a variety of subjects, including Asthma, Internal medicine, Immunology, Allergy and Food allergy. Issues in Asthma were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Logistic regression, Disease, Pediatrics and MEDLINE. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak are some topics wherein MEDLINE research discussed in it have an impact.

Most of the works presented in Pediatric Allergy and Immunology deals with Internal medicine but it intersects with the subject of Gastroenterology. Pediatric Allergy and Immunology aims to address concerns in Immunology, specifically in the areas of Immune system, Immunoglobulin E, Sensitization, Pathogenesis and Primary immunodeficiency. Many of the studies tackled connect Allergy with a similar field of study like Atopic dermatitis.

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, 6.79% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.51% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.29% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.22% of all publications and 48.99% 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.
