Overview

Top Research Topics at Acta Agriculturae Slovenica?

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica covers a variety of subjects, including Agronomy, Horticulture, Botany, Food science and Cultivar. Crop yield, Yield (wine), Crop, Sowing and Randomized block design are all aspects of Agronomy research featured in Acta Agriculturae Slovenica. The study on Horticulture presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Salinity.

It focused on Food science research but expanded to cover Antioxidant. The journal dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Germination and Seedling.

  • Agronomy (21.59%)
  • Horticulture (20.85%)
  • Botany (14.88%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Use of herbs and spices and their extracts in animal nutrition (122 citations)
  • Antibacterial activity of Mentha piperita L. (peppermint) from leaf extracts - a medicinal plant (58 citations)
  • Extraction of phenolic compounds from green walnut fruits in different solvents (55 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Acta Agriculturae Slovenica:

The published papers are mainly concerned with subjects like Agronomy, Botany, Horticulture, Food science and Selenium. The most cited papers facilitate discussions on Agronomy that incorporate concepts from other fields like Photosynthesis and Inoculation. The journal articles focus on Horticulture but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Malondialdehyde, Salinity, Catalase and Essential oil.

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agriculture

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal focuses on Horticulture, Antioxidant, Genotype, Food science and Agronomy. The studies on Horticulture discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Peroxidase and Salinity. The studies in Antioxidant featured incorporate elements of Sunflower, Helianthus, Bradford protein assay and Shoot.

It facilitates discussions on Genotype that incorporate concepts from other fields like Selection (genetic algorithm), Path analysis (statistics), Insect, Principal component analysis and Drought tolerance. The research on Food science tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Wheat grain, Extraction (chemistry) and Absorption of water. The works on Agronomy deal in particular with Seedling.

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, 25.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 36.36% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 15.15% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.12% of all publications and 36.36% 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.
