Xenotransplantation

Top Research Topics at Xenotransplantation?

The aim of Xenotransplantation is to expand the discussion of research in Xenotransplantation, Transplantation, Immunology, Molecular biology and Antibody. While it focused on Xenotransplantation, it was also able to explore topics like Virology, Immune system, Intensive care medicine, Pathology and Andrology. The work tackled in it goes beyond the discipline of Virology as it also encompasses Endogenous retrovirus.

Xenotransplantation focuses on Transplantation but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Immunosuppression, In vivo and Islet. Discussions in Xenotransplantation are anchored in the subject of In vivo and the similar topic of In vitro. Most of the works presented in the journal deals with Islet but it intersects with the subject of Pancreas.

While work presented in Xenotransplantation provided substantial information on Immunology, it also covered topics in Pharmacology, Baboon and Cell biology. Topics in Molecular biology explored in Xenotransplantation were investigated in conjunction with research in Cell culture, Transfection, Transgene, Epitope and Cytotoxic T cell. The work tackled in it goes beyond the discipline of Antibody as it also encompasses Antigen.

The journal articles are organized to reinforce research efforts on Xenotransplantation, Transplantation, Immunology, Antibody and Molecular biology. The published articles hold forums on Xenotransplantation that merge themes from other disciplines such as Transgene, Virology, Endogenous retrovirus, Kidney and Islet. The Transplantation research tackled in the published articles is interrelated with In vivo which concerns subjects like In vitro.

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

• Internal medicine

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Xenotransplantation, Transplantation, Andrology, Islet and Antibody. Xenotransplantation facilitates discussions on Xenotransplantation that incorporate concepts from other fields like Baboon, Immune system, Intensive care medicine, Platelet and Kidney. Xenotransplantation encompasses Transplantation studies in the context of Internal medicine as a whole.

Andrology research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, Transgene, Cord blood, Spleen and Macrophage. In addition to Islet research, the journal aims to explore topics under Cancer research, Type 1 diabetes and Pancreas. Antibody research presented falls under the umbrella topic of Immunology.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Growth hormone receptor knockout: Relevance to xenotransplantation. (7 citations)
• Cold non-ischemic heart preservation with continuous perfusion prevents early graft failure in orthotopic pig-to-baboon xenotransplantation (5 citations)
• 3'UTR enhances hCD47 cell surface expression, self-signal function, and reduces ER stress in porcine fibroblasts. (4 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, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 45.76% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.47% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 10.17% of all publications and 35.59% 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.
