South African Journal of Wildlife Research - 24-month delayed open access is mainly concerned with subjects like Ecology, Zoology, Habitat, Predation and Animal science. Most of the Ecology studies addressed also intersect with Cape. The journal focuses on Habitat research which is adjacent to topics in Grassland.
The in-depth study on Predation also explores topics in the intersecting field of Fishery. The journal connects research in Animal science with the related topic of Aepyceros melampus. Many of the studies tackled connect Panthera with a similar field of study like Leopard.
Studies in Research article and Demography are the key highlights in it.
The journal articles focus largely on the fields of Ecology, Habitat, National park, Zoology and Wildlife. Topics like Range (biology), Ungulate, Predation, Grazing and Home range are tackled as part of the discussions on Ecology in the journal papers. The most cited papers facilitate discussions on Habitat that incorporate concepts from other fields like Cape, Mountain zebra, Infestation and Game reserve.
The aim of the journal is to expand the discussion of research in Wildlife, Zoology, Leopard, Panthera and Political science. The journal facilitates discussions on Wildlife that incorporate concepts from other fields like Chlorocebus aethiops, Animal science and Parasitism. Bubulcus ibis, Nycticorax, Night heron and Ardea melanocephala are some topics wherein Zoology research discussed in it have an impact.
South African Journal of Wildlife Research - 24-month delayed open access explores topics in Leopard which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Canis mesomelas, Hyaena, Ethnology, World heritage and Carnivore. In the journal, researchers investigate the Panthera study as part of research in the field of Ecology. Attendees of it participated in discussions that delve into both Political science and Environmental ethics.
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 South African Journal of Wildlife Research - 24-month delayed open access (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 South African Journal of Wildlife Research - 24-month delayed open access (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 2014 edition, 16.67% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 40.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 40.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 20.00% 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.

(2021)For those interested in Animal Science and Veterinary studies, exploring related online degrees can open diverse career avenues. Programs like the best online kinesiology programs offer insights into animal and human movement, benefiting careers in veterinary rehabilitation or animal physical therapy.
Healthcare roles related to animals sometimes overlap with human healthcare pathways. For instance, many students seek the fastest and easiest LPN programs to quickly enter practical nursing, which can support veterinary clinics or animal care facilities.
Veterans looking for specialized online options may find inspiration through online programs designed specifically for them, such as online speech pathology degree programs for veterans. Though not directly animal-related, these highlight how flexible, veteran-friendly education can be in expanding career possibilities.
In mental health fields connected to animal therapy or companion animal wellbeing, the top PMHNP programs offer pathways into psychiatric-mental health nursing, which can integrate with animal-assisted therapy programs.
