Influential cited references in FEMS Microbiology Letters: lessons from Reference Publication Year Spectroscopy (RPYS).

摘要: The journal FEMS Microbiology Letters covers all aspects of microbiology including virology. On which scientific shoulders do the papers published in this stand? Which are classic used by authors? We aim to answer these questions study applying Reference Publication Year Spectroscopy (RPYS) analysis between 1977 and 2017. In total, 16 837 publications with 410 586 cited references analyzed. Mainly, studies draw knowledge from methods developed quantify or characterize biochemical substances such as proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, carbohydrates improvements techniques suitable for bacterial genetics. frequently studying genetic microorganisms Letters' were using samples prepared microorganisms. Methods required investigation carbohydrates, lipids mostly transferred other fields life science microbiology.
