Given that cholera is an infectious disease caused by a bacterium, it is no great surprise that some of the most-cited journals in our analysis include the high-impact journals Infection and Immunity, the Journal of Bacteriology, Molecular Microbiology, the Journal of Virology, the Journal of Applied Microbiology, and the Journal of Medical Microbiology.
All 40 unique journals that make up these lists are listed among the top 50% in their fields in Essential Science IndicatorsSM from Clarivate. Four of these journals rank at #1 in their fields. A further nine are in the top five, nine more are in the top 10, and seven more after that are in the top 20 in their fields.

Overall General Information
Top 20 Scientists, Institutions, Journals, & Nations
Citation tables allow us to map compelling trends:
- Are there particular nations or institutions that might be expected to dominate research in the Topic area, and do the numbers bear out these expectations, or are there surprises?
- Who are the leading scientists and where are they located?
While these tables cannot offer a complete picture, the number of trends and anomalies that can be spotlighted or connected across categories is striking. The tables often lead to renewed perspectives to further explore and validate.
What are Special Topics?
Special Topics, from ScienceWatch.com, is designed to complement Essential Science IndicatorsSM from Clarivate in providing citation analyses and commentary for selected scientific research areas that have experienced notable recent advances or are of special current interest.
