Overview

Top Research Topics at Acta Scientiarum-agronomy?

The journal generally zeroes in on subjects such as Horticulture, Agronomy, Botany, Cultivar and Crop yield. Discussions in the journal are anchored in the subject of Horticulture and the similar topic of Dry matter. Most of the Agronomy studies addressed also intersect with Soil classification.

The Botany study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Inoculation. The journal dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Crop yield and Yield (wine).

  • Horticulture (41.60%)
  • Agronomy (30.85%)
  • Botany (27.38%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • GENES: a software package for analysis in experimental statistics and quantitative genetics (987 citations)
  • Genes Software - extended and integrated with the R, Matlab and Selegen (165 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Acta Scientiarum-agronomy:

The most cited papers generally zeroe in on subjects such as Horticulture, Botany, Agronomy, Crop yield and Cultivar. Soil classification and Oxisol are some topics wherein Agronomy research discussed in the journal articles has an impact. In addition to Cultivar research, the most cited papers aim to explore topics under Randomized block design and Brachiaria.

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Horticulture

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Horticulture, Agronomy, Randomized block design, Yield (wine) and Crop. In the Horticulture research discussed, Sowing, Cultivar, Phaseolus, Shoot and Hybrid are all tackled. The journal focuses on Sowing but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Growing season and Seedling.

The studies in Agronomy featured incorporate elements of Dry season and Wet season. The research on Randomized block design tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Dry weight and Cutting. Topics in Crop explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Ammi, Computational intelligence, Stability (learning theory), Plant breeding and Hectare.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Technology 4.0 with 0.0 costs: fuzzy model of lettuce productivity with magnetized water (2 citations)
  • Soil biological attributes in monoculture and integrated systems in the Cerrado region of Piauí State, Brazil (1 citations)
  • Using plants to remediate or manage metal-polluted soils: an overview on the current state of phytotechnologies (1 citations)

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

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, 100.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, nan% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another nan% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included nan% of all publications and nan% 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

Exploring careers in Plant Science and Agronomy often leads students to related fields such as nutrition and dietetics, where understanding plant-based foods plays a crucial role. For those interested in human health and diet, pursuing an online nutritionist degree offers flexible learning to build expertise in food science and wellness.

Cost is a significant factor for many students. Choosing an online dietician program can make a nutrition-focused education more accessible without sacrificing quality. Affordability combined with strong curriculum opens pathways to careers in healthcare, food policy, and research.

For those eager to accelerate their education, options are available like an accelerated nutrition degree. These programs allow students to complete their studies in a shorter timeframe, preparing them quickly for workforce entry or advanced studies.

Additionally, students without previous nursing backgrounds looking to transition into healthcare may consider accelerated BSN programs for non nurses California. These pathways provide intensive training to enter nursing careers efficiently while complementing knowledge in plant science and nutrition.
