Overview

Top Research Topics at Polish Journal of Microbiology?

The journal covers a variety of subjects, including Microbiology, Bacteria, Food science, Biochemistry and Virology. The journal centers on topics in Microbiology, with a focus on Antibiotics. The works on Antibiotics deal in particular with Antibiotic resistance.

Most of the Antibiotic resistance studies addressed also intersect with Drug resistance. In Polish Journal of Microbiology, Antimicrobial and Botany are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Bacteria research. The study on Food science featured in Polish Journal of Microbiology expounds on the topic of Fermentation in particular.

The Biochemistry research dealing mostly with Enzyme is the focus of it. The study of Genetics serves as the foundation of the Gene research discussed in the journal.

  • Microbiology (46.60%)
  • Bacteria (19.26%)
  • Food science (12.13%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Bacteriophage receptors, mechanisms of phage adsorption and penetration into host cell. (253 citations)
  • The oral microbiome in dental caries. (126 citations)
  • Indole-3-acetic acid production and effect on sprouting of yam (Dioscorea rotundata L.) minisetts by Bacillus subtilis isolated from culturable cowdung microflora. (88 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Polish Journal of Microbiology:

The journal papers aim to foster the development of research in Microbiology, Biochemistry, Food science, Bacteria and Biofilm. The journal publications with studies in Microbiology featured incorporate elements of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. In addition to Food science research, the journal papers aim to explore topics under Microorganism, Enzyme assay and Botany.

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

  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The foci of Polish Journal of Microbiology are Microbiology, Bacteria, Botany, Internal medicine and Strain (chemistry). Some problems in Microbiology that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Antibiotic production and 16S ribosomal RNA. Exiguobacterium aurantiacum studies in the realm of Bacteria interact with fields like In patient.

The concepts on Botany presented in Polish Journal of Microbiology can also apply to other research fields, including Nitrogen fixation, Microbial ecology, Nitrogen cycle and Species diversity. While it focused on Internal medicine, it was also able to explore topics like Carriage, Candida parapsilosis, Intubation and Tuberculosis. The Strain (chemistry) works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Food science, Chemotaxis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Oil droplet and Glycerol.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Spa typing of Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Clinical Specimens from Outpatients in Iraq. (1 citations)
  • Antibiotic and Disinfectant Resistance in Tap Water Strains – Insight into the Resistance of Environmental Bacteria (1 citations)
  • The Pathogenesis of Aspergillus fumigatus, Host Defense Mechanisms, and the Development of AFMP4 Antigen as a Vaccine. (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 Polish Journal of Microbiology (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Waleria Hryniewicz (15 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Ewa Augustynowicz-Kopeć (12 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Bogumiła Litwińska (9 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Adam Kaznowski (9 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Stanisława Tylewska-Wierzbanowska (9 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 Polish Journal of Microbiology (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University of Warsaw (47 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Medical University of Warsaw (25 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Polish Academy of Sciences (17 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Gdańsk University of Technology (16 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Medical University of Silesia (15 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, 17.50% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 3.03% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 9.09% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 6.06% of all publications and 81.82% 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.
