Overview

Top Research Topics at Pharmaceutical Sciences?

The aim of Pharmaceutical Sciences is to expand the discussion of research in Pharmacology, Chromatography, Internal medicine, Traditional medicine and Antioxidant. Pharmaceutical Sciences investigates Pharmacology research which frequently intersects with Oxidative stress. Malondialdehyde is a focus of the presented Oxidative stress works and it dives deep in Malondialdehyde.

Detection limit, High-performance liquid chromatography, Extraction (chemistry) and Dosage form are all aspects of Chromatography discussed in Pharmaceutical Sciences. The concepts on Internal medicine presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Diabetes mellitus, Endocrinology, Placebo and Gastroenterology. Pharmaceutical Sciences emphasizes research on Endocrinology, which includes concerns such as Streptozotocin.

The Traditional medicine study tackling the subject of Phytochemical is the focus of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Pharmaceutical Sciences focuses on different Antioxidant studies like DPPH and Flavonoid. Most of the works presented in the journal deals with DPPH but it intersects with the subject of Food science.

  • Pharmacology (15.86%)
  • Chromatography (14.26%)
  • Internal medicine (12.65%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

Research areas of the most cited articles at Pharmaceutical Sciences:

The journal articles focus on Essential oil, Food science, Organic chemistry, Chromatography and Antioxidant. Antibacterial activity, Antimicrobial, Microbiology, Eugenol and Bacillus cereus are some topics wherein Essential oil research discussed in the most cited papers has an impact. The Chromatography research presented in the journal papers focuses mostly on Bioavailability and, on occasion, topics in Differential scanning calorimetry and Amlodipine.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme
  • Organic chemistry

The discussions in the journal mainly cover the fields of Cancer research, Pharmacology, Traditional medicine, Cancer and Internal medicine. The research on Cancer research presented in it often intersects with areas of study such as

  • Cytotoxicity, Anti proliferative and Quinoline most often made with reference to Cancer cell,
  • Apoptosis which connect with Spermatogenesis, HeLa and Combination therapy.. Methamphetamine is the primary subject of Pharmacology works presented in Pharmaceutical Sciences.

In the journal, DPPH and Chemical constituents are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Traditional medicine research. The DPPH works featured in it incorporate elements from IC50, Pereskia aculeata, Biological activity and Artemia salina. Some problems in Internal medicine that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Endocrinology and Famciclovir.

  • Green Curmin reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines and fibroblast-associated colon cancer migration (1 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.

The top authors publishing in Pharmaceutical Sciences (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Abolghasem Jouyban (33 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 5 less than at the previous edition,

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, 98.36% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 100.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 0.00% 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.
