Overview

Top Research Topics at Toxicology Letters?

Toxicology Letters generally zeroes in on subjects such as Internal medicine, Pharmacology, Endocrinology, Biochemistry and Toxicity. Internal medicine research is the primary subject tackled in Toxicology Letters with a focus on Kidney. The study on Pharmacology presented is investigated in conjunction with research in In vitro.

The journal connects research in In vitro with the related topic of In vivo. The journal connects the study in Biochemistry with the closely related area of Molecular biology.

  • Internal medicine (15.87%)
  • Pharmacology (15.61%)
  • Endocrinology (14.18%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • OCCURRENCE, FATE, AND REMOVAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL RESIDUES IN THE AQUATIC ENVIRONMENT: A REVIEW OF RECENT RESEARCH DATA (2370 citations)
  • Toxicity determined in vitro by morphological alterations and neutral red absorption (1606 citations)
  • Nanosilver: a nanoproduct in medical application. (1410 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Toxicology Letters:

The published papers focus on Biochemistry, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Toxicity and Pharmacology. The journal papers investigate Biochemistry research which frequently intersects with Molecular biology. In addition to Toxicity research, the journal articles aim to explore topics under Toxicology and Immunology.

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 Letters (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Félix Carvalho (158 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition, 3 more than at the previous edition,
  • Aristidis Tsatsakis (107 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Horst Thiermann (100 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 4 less than at the previous edition,
  • Tülin Söylemezoğlu (98 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Zeliha Kayaalti (90 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 Toxicology Letters (based on the number of publications) are:

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, 74.59% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 2.46% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 2.46% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 5.91% of all publications and 89.16% 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.
