The topics of Botany, Food science, Horticulture, Agronomy and Biochemistry are the focal point of discussions in African Journal of Biotechnology. While work presented in African Journal of Biotechnology provided substantial information on Botany, it also covered topics in Explant culture, Murashige and Skoog medium and Genetic diversity. African Journal of Biotechnology holds forums on Genetic diversity that merges themes from other disciplines such as Microsatellite and Genetic variation.
The concepts on Food science presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Antioxidant, Microbiology and Bacteria. DPPH is a focus of the Antioxidant works in the journal. Microbiology research is concerned with Antimicrobial in particular.
Cultivar and Germination are some of the study areas of Agronomy discussed. The majority of Biochemistry studies presented zero in on Enzyme. It investigates Shoot research which frequently intersects with Micropropagation.
Botany, Food science, Agronomy, Microbiology and Horticulture are the main subjects of interest in the most cited papers. The published articles facilitate discussions on Botany that incorporate concepts from other fields like Explant culture, Murashige and Skoog medium and Traditional medicine. The works on Food science tackled in the journal publications bring together disciplines like Biochemistry and Antioxidant.
Horticulture, Food science, Bacteria, Explant culture and Shoot are among the topics commonly tackled in the journal. The research on Horticulture tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Micropropagation and Somatic embryogenesis. In addition to Food science research, African Journal of Biotechnology aims to explore topics under Composition (visual arts), Antibiotics, Dry weight, Sodium bicarbonate and Total dissolved solids.
The research on Bacteria featured in it combines topics in other fields like Soil test, Strain (chemistry) and Mangrove. Explant culture research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Daylily and Genotype. Concepts in Murashige and Skoog medium, as well as related topics in Jatropha, Glutamine and Gibberellic acid, are covered in the Shoot research presented in the journal.
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 African Journal of Biotechnology (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in African Journal of Biotechnology (based on the number of publications) are:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2020)For students exploring Biology and Biochemistry in the USA, there are numerous related online degree options that can broaden career opportunities. An hospital administration course online provides a valuable pathway for those interested in the business and operational side of healthcare, blending science knowledge with management skills.
Many biology graduates wonder about their prospects beyond traditional research roles. According to experts, biology careers offer a variety of well-paying options ranging from biotechnology to environmental science, making strong academic grounding essential.
Prospective students should also consider an online bachelor's degree in biology, which allows for flexible study schedules without compromising on comprehensive content, ideal for balancing education with personal commitments.
Furthermore, an exercise science degree online is a complementary field that combines biological principles with physical health, opening doors to careers in health promotion, fitness training, and rehabilitation.
Considering these diverse pathways helps students tailor their education to align with evolving industry demands and personal interests in the life sciences.
