Overview

Top Research Topics at Toxicology in Vitro?

The journal investigates studies in Biochemistry, In vitro, Toxicity, Molecular biology and Cell culture. The journal tackles issues in Biochemistry, particularly in the topics of Cytotoxicity, Glutathione, Oxidative stress, Antioxidant and Enzyme. It addresses concerns in Cytotoxicity which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Viability assay, Cytotoxic T cell, MTT assay and Lactate dehydrogenase.

The journal explores research in Oxidative stress and the adjacent study of Reactive oxygen species. Biophysics, Chromatography, Immunology and In vivo are some topics wherein In vitro research discussed in it have an impact. Topics in Toxicity were tackled in line with various other fields like Endocrinology and Pharmacology.

While Molecular biology is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Apoptosis, Gene expression and DNA damage, Comet assay. The studies on Apoptosis discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Cancer research and Mitochondrion. Toxicology in Vitro facilitates discussions on Cell culture that incorporate concepts from other fields like Cell, Cell growth and Cell biology.

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 Toxicology in Vitro (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Nathalie Alépée (40 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Bas J. Blaauboer (39 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Richard H. Clothier (35 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Vera Rogiers (31 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Els Adriaens (26 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.

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, 50.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 0.00% 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 100.00% of all publications and 0.00% 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.
