Overview

Top Research Topics at Advances in horticultural science?

Advances in horticultural science primarily tackles Horticulture, Botany, Agronomy, Cultivar and Shoot. The journal links adjacent topics like Horticulture with Irrigation. It connects research in Botany with the related topic of In vitro.

Sowing and Crop are some of the facets of Agronomy tackled in it. The Shoot works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Explant culture and Micropropagation.

  • Horticulture (46.83%)
  • Botany (31.03%)
  • Agronomy (19.02%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

Research areas of the most cited articles at Advances in horticultural science:

The main points discussed in the journal articles deal with Botany, Horticulture, Agronomy, Cultivar and Olea. While Botany is the focus of the journal papers, it also provides insights into the studies of Sucrose, Suspension culture and Tissue culture. The most cited papers tackle studies in Canopy and the interrelated subject of Olive oil to gain insights into Horticulture.

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

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Ecology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal investigates areas of study like Horticulture, Agricultural engineering, Essential oil, Facilitation and Quality (business). The presented studies in Postharvest fall within the purview of Horticulture but it also intertwines with topics in Drop (liquid). Discussions in the journal are anchored in the subject of Quality (business) and the similar topic of Thinning.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • The induction and development of somatic embryos from the in vitro culture of Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don (0 citations)
  • The impact of cumin essential oil on cold stored-radish tubers (0 citations)
  • Genetic variability and relationship among different accessions of Froriepia subpinata Bail (Gijavash) an endangered medicinal plant from Iran revealed by ISSR and IRAP markers (0 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.

The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

The top authors publishing in Advances in horticultural science (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Stefano Mancuso (17 papers) absent at the last edition,

  • Islamic Azad University (11 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Canadian Real Estate Association (10 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Teramo (9 papers) absent at the last edition.

The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.

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

For students interested in Plant Science and Agronomy, exploring related online degrees can enhance career opportunities and broaden expertise. Programs like the easiest mph online programs to get into provide a flexible path into public health, an area closely linked with agricultural sustainability and food systems.

Accelerated study options, such as accelerated fnp programs, support quicker transitions into healthcare roles that intersect with environmental health and community wellness—key components connected to agronomy careers.

For those aiming at advanced practice, transitioning through an msn to dnp program offers a route to leadership positions in healthcare with potential influence on agricultural and nutritional policies.

Additionally, pursuing an online nutrition masters can complement agronomy studies by deepening knowledge about crop nutrition and human health relationships, enhancing both research and practical applications.
