Overview

Top Research Topics at Reviews on environmental health?

Environmental health, Environmental exposure, Public health, Environmental chemistry and Disease are among the topics commonly tackled in Reviews on environmental health. The research on Environmental health tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Cancer, Epidemiology, MEDLINE, Developing country and Air pollution. It investigates Environmental chemistry research which frequently intersects with Pollutant.

  • Environmental health (30.09%)
  • Environmental exposure (12.10%)
  • Public health (9.31%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Neurotoxic effects and biomarkers of lead exposure: a review. (456 citations)
  • Halogenated flame retardants: do the fire safety benefits justify the risks? (332 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Reviews on environmental health:

The most cited articles facilitate discussions on Environmental health, Environmental exposure, Environmental chemistry, Disease and Toxicity. Issues in Environmental health were discussed in the published articles, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Cancer, Epidemiology, Toxicology, Asthma and Public health. The journal papers explore topics in Toxicity which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Oxidative stress, Polyacrylamide and Carcinogen.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Ecology
  • Disease

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Reviews on environmental health was organized to reinforce research efforts on Environmental health, Disease, Pandemic, Air pollution and Epidemiology. In addition to Environmental health research, it aims to explore topics under Incidence (epidemiology), Pollutant, Web of science, MEDLINE and Risk factor. The work tackled in Reviews on environmental health goes beyond the discipline of Disease as it also encompasses Intensive care medicine.

It tackles studies in Public health and the interrelated subject of Developing country and Grey literature to gain insights into Pandemic. In Reviews on environmental health, Particulates and Air quality index are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Air pollution research. The presented Epidemiology research focuses mostly on Cohort study and, on occasion, topics in Meta-analysis.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Environmental disinfection against COVID-19 in different areas of health care facilities: a review. (11 citations)
  • Environmental exposures to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and their role in endometriosis: a systematic literature review. (8 citations)
  • Perchlorate - properties, toxicity and human health effects: an updated review. (7 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 Reviews on environmental health (based on the number of publications) are:

  • David O. Carpenter (29 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Peter D. Sly (19 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Paul B. Tchounwou (14 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • William A. Suk (14 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Virginia Buchner (13 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 Reviews on environmental health (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University at Albany, SUNY (21 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • National Institutes of Health (17 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Queensland (17 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Jackson State University (14 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Arizona (10 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous 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, 7.50% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 16.22% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.76% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.86% of all publications and 62.16% 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.
