Overview

Top Research Topics at Transgenic Research?

Transgenic Research is organized to address concerns in the fields of Transgene, Molecular biology, Gene, Genetics and Genetically modified crops. It explores issues in Transgene which can be linked to other research areas like Gene expression, Transgenesis and Cell biology. Topics in Molecular biology explored in Transgenic Research were investigated in conjunction with research in Cell culture, Recombinant DNA, Southern blot, Green fluorescent protein and Regulation of gene expression.

The study on Gene presented in Transgenic Research intersects with the topics under Virology. The presentations discussing Genetics offer insights in topics such as Genome, Plasmid and Genetically modified organism. In addition to Genetically modified crops research, Transgenic Research aims to explore topics under Plant disease resistance, Agronomy, Botany and Nicotiana tabacum.

In it, Transformation (genetics) and Agrobacterium tumefaciens are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Botany research. Agrobacterium is a major topic of Transformation (genetics) research presented in Transgenic Research. Discussions in Transgenic Research are anchored in the subject of Genetically modified mouse and the similar topic of Endocrinology.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Transgenic Research:

The most cited papers generally zeroe in on subjects such as Transgene, Botany, Gene, Molecular biology and Genetically modified crops. The journal papers hold forums on Transgene that merge themes from other disciplines such as Genetically modified organism and Transgenesis. The most cited papers focus on Molecular biology but sometimes tackle the closely related topic of Gene expression which is concerned with Regulation of gene expression.

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal mostly deals with topics like Gene, Genome editing, CRISPR, Computational biology and Transgene. The journal focuses on Gene research as part of the broader topic of Genetics. Transgenic Research holds forums on Genome editing that merges themes from other disciplines such as Agriculture, Biotechnology and Transgenic technology.

Computational biology research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Gene targeting, Reporter gene and Genetically modified organism. It facilitates discussions on Transgene that incorporate concepts from other fields like Plant disease resistance, Food science, Botany and Molecular medicine. It explores research in Conditional gene knockout and overlapping concepts in Molecular biology to expand the discourse in Cre recombinase.

  • Genome editing of polyploid crops: prospects, achievements and bottlenecks. (6 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 Transgenic Research (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Paul Christou (29 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition,
  • James D. Murray (21 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Lluis Montoliu (19 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Teresa Capell (17 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Alan Raybould (17 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous 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 Transgenic Research (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Institut national de la recherche agronomique (68 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Edinburgh (63 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • University of California, Davis (38 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Spanish National Research Council (38 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Chinese Academy of Sciences (36 papers) published 2 papers at the last 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, 10.94% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 8.77% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.26% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 31.58% of all publications and 54.39% 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.
