His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Gastroenterology, Malaria and Fosfomycin. His studies in Psychological intervention integrate themes in fields like Sanitation, Public hospital, Rotavirus, Health policy and Breastfeeding. His Cohort research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Excess mortality, Mortality rate, Gestational age and Cohort study.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Antimicrobial Resistance Following Azithromycin Mass Drug Administration: Potential Surveillance Strategies to Assess Public Health Impact (10 citations)
  • Antimicrobial Resistance Following Azithromycin Mass Drug Administration: Potential Surveillance Strategies to Assess Public Health Impact (10 citations)
  • Estimating the burden of iron deficiency among African children. (9 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Pathology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Public health, Breastfeeding, Psychological intervention, Intensive care medicine and Hygiene. His study in the field of Health services research and Health policy also crosses realms of Agency and Vulnerability. His Breastfeeding study is associated with Pediatrics.

His Psychological intervention study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sanitation, Rotavirus vaccine, Rotavirus and Disease. As a part of the same scientific family, James A. Berkley mostly works in the field of Intensive care medicine, focusing on Antibiotic resistance and, on occasion, Randomized controlled trial. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Randomized controlled trial, Internal medicine is strongly linked to Malaria vaccine.
