Stem Cells and Development

Top Research Topics at Stem Cells and Development?

Stem Cells and Development tackles a plethora of topics, such as Cell biology, Stem cell, Mesenchymal stem cell, Immunology and Cellular differentiation. While Cell biology is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Embryonic stem cell, Induced pluripotent stem cell, Cell and Cell culture. The presented Embryonic stem cell research focuses mostly on Molecular biology and, on occasion, topics in Regulation of gene expression.

Issues in Induced pluripotent stem cell were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like SOX2 and Reprogramming. While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Stem cell, it also covered topics in Endothelial stem cell, Adult stem cell and Anatomy. Some problems in Mesenchymal stem cell that were presented in Stem Cells and Development overlapped with concepts under Cancer research, Stromal cell, Stem cell transplantation for articular cartilage repair, Adipose tissue and Bone marrow.

The research on Immunology tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of CD34, Clinical uses of mesenchymal stem cells, Cell therapy and Transplantation. The journal explores topics in Cellular differentiation which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Regenerative medicine and Cell growth. Topics in Neural stem cell were tackled in line with various other fields like Neurogenesis and Neurosphere.

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Mesenchymal stem cell, Cell biology, Cancer research, Stem cell and Induced pluripotent stem cell are the subjects of interest in Stem Cells and Development. The journal focuses on Mesenchymal stem cell but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Haematopoiesis, Microvesicles, Immunology, Bone marrow and Transplantation. The journal explores themes in Immunology like Immune system and Inflammation and links them with other fields of study like Cytokine storm.

The research on Cell biology featured in Stem Cells and Development combines topics in other fields like Embryonic stem cell, Downregulation and upregulation, Gene, Stromal cell and Cell. Stem Cells and Development holds forums on Stem cell that merges themes from other disciplines such as Adipose tissue, Hypoxia (medical) and Bioinformatics. Stem Cells and Development addresses concerns in Induced pluripotent stem cell which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as SOX2, Reprogramming and Cellular differentiation.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in Neuroblastoma: Exploring Crosstalk and Therapeutic Implications. (6 citations)
• Energy Metabolism During Osteogenic Differentiation: The Role of Akt. (6 citations)

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, 4.04% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 7.37% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 4.21% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.89% of all publications and 70.53% 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.
