Overview

Top Research Topics at Proteomics?

Proteomics explores disciplines such as Proteomics, Proteome, Biochemistry, Molecular biology and Cell biology. The research on Proteomics tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Gel electrophoresis, Chromatography, Computational biology and Bioinformatics. The Chromatography works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization and Peptide.

Proteomics explores issues in Proteome which can be linked to other research areas like Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, Gene, Immunology and Microbiology. It focuses on Immunology as well as the interrelated topic of Cancer research. The work on Microbiology addressed in the journal expands to the thematically related Virulence.

Biochemistry, which encompasses Membrane protein, Enzyme, Phosphorylation, Amino acid and Peptide sequence, is the main subject of the journal. Signal transduction is part of Cell biology studies tackled in Proteomics. Research in Mass spectrometry discussed is concerned with the study of Analytical chemistry as a whole.

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 Proteomics (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Michael J. Dunn (91 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Lennart Martens (69 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Michael Hecker (68 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Helmut E. Meyer (67 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Henning Hermjakob (52 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 Proteomics (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Max Planck Society (214 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 3 less than at the previous edition,
  • Centre national de la recherche scientifique (149 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Chinese Academy of Sciences (124 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 5 less than at the previous edition,
  • Ruhr University Bochum (117 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Spanish National Research Council (108 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, 3.08% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 6.35% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 4.76% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 11.90% of all publications and 76.98% 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.
