Overview

Top Research Topics at Theriogenology?

Theriogenology investigates areas of study like Andrology, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Embryo and Estrous cycle. Oocyte, Cryopreservation and Blastocyst are some topics wherein Andrology research discussed in the journal have an impact. The tackled Internal medicine research is interrelated with Pregnancy which concerns subjects like Gynecology.

The journal focuses on different Endocrinology studies like Follicular phase, Hormone, Follicle, Luteal phase and Corpus luteum. Embryo research featured in Theriogenology incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Molecular biology and In vitro. It focuses on Estrous cycle research as part of the broader topic of Animal science.

The studies in Animal science featured incorporate elements of Fertility and Ice calving, Lactation. It addresses concerns in the field of Sperm by exploring it in line with topics in Human fertilization which intersect with In vitro fertilisation subjects. It investigates Semen research which frequently intersects with Artificial insemination.

  • Andrology (39.90%)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Theriogenology:

The published articles are mainly concerned with subjects like Andrology, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Embryo and Sperm. In addition to Andrology research, the published articles aim to explore topics under Oocyte, Cryopreservation and Human fertilization. The published articles focus on Internal medicine but sometimes tackle the closely related topic of Pregnancy which is concerned with Gynecology, Obstetrics and Dairy cattle.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal focuses largely on the fields of Semen, Sperm, Sperm motility, Cell biology and Lysosome. Some problems in Semen that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Lipid peroxidation, Cysteamine, Rooster and Artificial insemination. Theriogenology focuses on Sperm but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Luteal phase, Mating, Oxytocin, Vasopressin and Physiology.

The Sperm motility research presented falls under the domain of Andrology. The studies on Cell biology discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Differentially methylated regions and Gene. While work presented in it provided substantial information on Lysosome, it also covered topics in Autophagy, Apoptosis, Oxidative stress, Sertoli cell and Cell growth.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Seminal plasma proteins as potential biomarkers for sperm motility and velocities. (0 citations)
  • Melatonin mitigates Chloroquine-induced defects in porcine immature Sertoli cells. (0 citations)
  • Zearalenone exposure impairs organelle function during porcine oocyte meiotic maturation (0 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 2022 edition, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 22.22% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 77.78% 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.
