Overview

Top Research Topics at Process Biochemistry?

Process Biochemistry investigates studies in Biochemistry, Chromatography, Food science, Fermentation and Enzyme. The Biochemistry study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Bacteria. While Process Biochemistry focused on Chromatography, it was also able to explore topics like Yield (chemistry), Hydrolysis, Substrate (chemistry) and Bioreactor.

Research on Hydrolysis presented in the journal concerns the broader topic of Organic chemistry. Biomass and Botany are some topics wherein Food science research discussed in the journal have an impact. Topics in Fermentation explored in Process Biochemistry were investigated in conjunction with research in Ethanol and Biotechnology.

The works on Enzyme deal in particular with Enzyme assay.

  • Biochemistry (28.48%)
  • Chromatography (27.76%)
  • Food science (16.83%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Pseudo-second order model for sorption processes (10874 citations)
  • Cyclodextrins and their uses: a review (2415 citations)
  • Application of biosorption for the removal of organic pollutants: a review (1484 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Process Biochemistry:

Chromatography, Biochemistry, Food science, Fermentation and Hydrolysis are the main subjects of interest in the most cited publications. The journal articles address concerns in Chromatography which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Adsorption, Wastewater, Bioreactor, Lipase and Pulp and paper industry. The published articles focus on Food science but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Substrate (chemistry), Botany and Microbiology.

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

  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria
  • Gene

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal tackles a plethora of topics, such as Food science, Chromatography, Biochemistry, Fermentation and Enzyme. The journal focuses on Food science but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Yield (chemistry), Hydrolysis, Hydrolysate and Antioxidant. Process Biochemistry aims to address concerns in Hydrolysis, specifically in the areas of Cellulase and Enzymatic hydrolysis.

Extraction (chemistry) is a primary topic of Chromatography research in the journal. It concentrates on Biochemistry topics that focus on Escherichia coli, Gene and Recombinant DNA. The study on Fermentation presented in the journal intersects with subjects under the field of Yeast.

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, 7.03% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 10.65% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.15% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.06% of all publications and 71.13% 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.
