Veterinary Research (BioMed)

Top Research Topics at Veterinary Research?

Veterinary Research explores disciplines such as Virology, Microbiology, Virus, Immunology and Immune system. The research on Virology tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Antibody, Disease and Antigen. Microbiology research featured in Veterinary Research incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Bacteria and Gene, Virulence, Escherichia coli.

The presentations focused mostly on Gene in an attempt to further explore topics in Genetics. The Virus study featured in the journal draws parallels with the field of Outbreak. The majority of Immunology studies in the journal are focused on the subject of Cytokine.

The Immune system research presented places emphasis on topics like Immunity and Innate immune system.

The most cited articles primarily tackle Virology, Microbiology, Immunology, Virus and Veterinary medicine. The most cited publications facilitate discussions on Virology that incorporate concepts from other fields like Antibody and Disease. The published papers explore research in Virulence and overlapping concepts in Pathogen to expand the discourse in Microbiology.

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

• Gene
• Internal medicine
• Virus

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Microbiology, Immune system, Virology, Cell biology and Virulence are the subjects of interest in the journal. While it focused on Microbiology, it was also able to explore topics like In vitro, Macrophage, Mutant and Staphylococcus aureus. Issues in Immune system were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Pathogen and Vaccination.

It explores issues in Pathogen which can be linked to other research areas like Streptococcus suis and Immunogenicity. The tackled Vaccination research is interrelated with Antigen which concerns subjects like Attenuated vaccine. Veterinary Research centers on topics in Virology, with a focus on Virus.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Intestinal organoids in farm animals. (12 citations)
• Organoids: a promising new in vitro platform in livestock and veterinary research. (6 citations)
• Impacts of increasing challenge with Eimeria maxima on the growth performance and gene expression of biomarkers associated with intestinal integrity and nutrient transporters. (5 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.

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, 3.68% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 16.03% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 22.14% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 25.19% of all publications and 36.64% 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.
