Overview

Top Research Topics at Phytochemistry Reviews?

The main research concerns discussed in Phytochemistry Reviews are Botany, Biochemistry, Traditional medicine, Pharmacology and Biotechnology. The in-depth study on Botany also explores topics in the intersecting field of Ecology. Biochemistry and Stereochemistry are closely related fields of research discussed in it.

Most of the Traditional medicine studies addressed also intersect with Antimicrobial.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Phytochemistry Reviews:

The journal articles investigate areas of study like Biochemistry, Botany, Biotechnology, Biosynthesis and Organic chemistry. The journal articles investigate Biochemistry research which frequently intersects with Stereochemistry. In addition to Botany research, the most cited articles aim to explore topics under Ecology and Traditional medicine.

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Ecology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Phytochemistry Reviews generally zeroes in on subjects such as Traditional medicine, Antimicrobial, Pharmacology, Botany and Medicinal plants. It facilitates discussions on Traditional medicine that incorporate concepts from other fields like Biological activity and Genus. In addition to Genus research, Phytochemistry Reviews aims to explore topics under Evolutionary biology and Palicourea.

The concepts on Antimicrobial presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Food industry, Polyphenol, Flavonoid and Bacteria. The Pharmacology works featured in Phytochemistry Reviews incorporate elements from Proinflammatory cytokine, Phytochemistry and Diabetes mellitus. The journal aims to bridge the gap between the study of Botany and Context (language use).

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Flavonoids: A complementary approach to conventional therapy of COVID-19? (30 citations)
  • Biosynthesis of alkaloids in Amaryllidaceae plants: a review (16 citations)
  • Anti-adhesion activity of phytochemicals to prevent Campylobacter jejuni biofilm formation on abiotic surfaces (12 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 Phytochemistry Reviews (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Robert Verpoorte (16 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Azucena González-Coloma (12 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Virginia Lanzotti (10 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Isidro G. Collado (9 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • Nutan Kaushik (8 papers) absent at the last edition.

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 Phytochemistry Reviews (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Spanish National Research Council (34 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Leiden University (22 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Cádiz (17 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Max Planck Society (13 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Copenhagen (10 papers) absent at the last edition.

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.

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, 3.70% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 8.97% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 15.38% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.82% of all publications and 62.82% 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.
