Overview

Top Research Topics at Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae?

Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae primarily tackles Zoology, Taxonomy (biology), Genus, Ecology and Botany. In addition to Zoology research, it aims to explore topics under Taxon and Type (biology). The research on Taxonomy (biology) featured in it combines topics in other fields like Male genitalia and Fauna.

The studies on Genus discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of China, Subfamily and Key (lock). Ecology (disciplines) is a key component of Ecology research discussed in it. Miridae is a major topic of Hemiptera research.

Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae is organized to address concerns in the fields of Zoology, Genus, Identification key, Key (lock) and Ecology. Specifically, studies on Hemiptera are prevalent in the Zoology works discussed. The research on Genus tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Taxonomy (biology), Biodiversity, Nypa fruticans and Heteroptera.

While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Taxonomy (biology), it also covered topics in Aphodiinae, Panorpidae, Neopanorpa, Mecoptera and Biogeography.

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, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 38.10% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 14.29% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.29% of all publications and 33.33% 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.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Studying Ecology and Evolution opens doors to diverse career pathways, many of which intersect with healthcare and environmental management. For students seeking to expand their expertise beyond pure science, pursuing advanced degrees can offer valuable practical skills.

For those interested in integrating healthcare with ecological concerns, exploring dnp program options may be beneficial. These programs focus on nursing leadership and patient care innovation, providing a unique perspective that can complement ecological research on public health.

If you're considering entry into health-focused roles, understanding the admissions landscape can help. Resources about the easiest nursing program to get into offer guidance for students aiming to break into healthcare swiftly.

Additionally, careers in healthcare management are growing rapidly. Online degrees such as the healthcare administration degree programs provide accelerated pathways to leadership roles, which can intersect with environmental policy and sustainability initiatives.

For those concerned about standardized entrance exams, options like nursing schools that don't require teas offer alternatives to traditional admission hurdles, making it easier to start a career in healthcare-related fields connected to Ecology and Evolution studies.
