USAGE

• 25773Downloads 2023
  Springer measures the usage on the SpringerLink platform according to the COUNTER (Counting Online Usage of NeTworked Electronic Resources) standards.
• 60 Usage Factor 2022/2023
  The Springer Journal Usage Factor 2022/2023 was calculated as suggested by the COUNTER Code of Practice for Usage Factors. It is the median value of the number of downloads in 2022/2023 for all articles published online in that particular journal during the same time period. The Usage Factor calculation is based on COUNTER-compliant usage data on the SpringerLink platform. (Counting Online Usage of NeTworked Electronic Resources) standards.

WEB OF SCIENCE

• 0.4 Impact Factor 2023
  The journal Impact Factor is the average number of times articles from the journal published in the past two years have been cited in the JCR year. It is calculated by dividing the number of citations in the JCR year by the total number of articles published in the two previous years.
• 0.4 5 year Impact Factor 2023
  The 5-year journal Impact Factor is the average number of times articles from the journal published in the past five years have been cited in the JCR year. It is calculated by dividing the number of citations in the JCR year by the total number of articles published in the five previous years.
• Q4Quartile: Microbiology 2023
  Quartiles indicate where a journal’s ranking lies within a particular subject category. These quartiles rank the journals from highest to lowest based on their impact factor. Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values, Q2 (yellow) the second highest values, Q3 (orange) the third highest values and Q4 (red) the lowest values.
• 0.07 Journal Citation Indicator (Biochemistry & Molecular Biology | Microbiology) 2023
  The Journal Citation Indicator is a measure of the average Category Normalized Citation Impact (CNCI) of citable items (articles & reviews) published by a journal over a recent three year period. It is used to help you evaluate journals based on other metrics besides the Journal Impact Factor (JIF).

SCOPUS

• 0.7 CiteScore 2023
  CiteScore acts as an indicator of the citation level of peer-reviewed materials, which is calculated as the ratio of the average number of citations to the number of published documents. Therewith, the publication window is equal to four years.
• 0.14Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP) 2023
  Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP) measures contextual citation impact by weighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field. The impact of a single citation is given higher value in subject areas where citations are less likely, and vice versa.
• 0.147 SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) 2023
  SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) is a measure of scientific influence of scholarly journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from.
• Q4Quartile: Genetics 2023
  Quartiles indicate where a journal’s ranking lies within a particular subject category. These quartiles rank the journals from highest to lowest based on their SJR. Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values, Q2 (yellow) the second highest values, Q3 (orange) the third highest values and Q4 (red) the lowest values.
• 13H-Index 2023
  A journal has an H index of h if it published h papers each of which has been cited in other journals at least h times. Calculations are based on Scopus.

Molecular Genetics, Microbiology and Virology  is a peer-reviewed journal encompassing a wide array of contemporary theoretical and applied problems of molecular genetics of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, molecular microbiology, and molecular virology. A significant portion of the journal is dedicated to research into the genetic machinery of microorganisms, investigating modes of genetic exchange, genetic mapping of pathogenic agents, and unveiling the structure and functions of extrachromosomal factors of heredity and migratory genetic elements. The journal also delves into theoretical explorations of genetic regulation mechanisms. The journal publishes results of research on molecular and genetic bases of a eukaryotic cell, the functioning of chromosomes and chromatin, the nature of alterations in malignancy, and a spectrum of hereditary conditions. The journal articles discuss the molecular foundations of virology, addressing topics such as the integration of viral and cellular genomes, as well as the challenges related to persistence. Molecular Genetics, Microbiology and Virology  intends to feature content related to genetic engineering, encompassing aspects such as the synthesis and isolation of genes from natural reservoirs, the creation of plasmid- and virus-based vector, the production of recombinant DNA molecules, the creation of Gene Banks for Microbes, animals, and human. Additionally, the journal will cover topics related to the biotechnological manufacturing of hormones, constituents for antiviral vaccines, as well as diagnostic and therapeutic agents. The journal has the aim to become an international publication and publishes manuscripts originally submitted in English from all countries along with translated works. The peer review policy of the journal is independent of the manuscript source, ensuring a fair and unbiased evaluation process for all submissions.

The journal is intended for research workers mostly in infectious pathology, teachers of higher institutes and physicians interested in the problems of molecular genetics, microbiology and virology, proteomics of cancer.
