Overview

Top Research Topics at American Journal of Potato Research?

The topics of Agronomy, Agriculture, Horticulture, Botany and Cultivar are the focal point of discussions in the journal. Agronomy studies presented include Yield (wine), Blight, Sowing, Fertilizer and Crop. Phytophthora infestans is part of Blight studies tackled in it.

The concepts on Agriculture presented in American Journal of Potato Research can also apply to other research fields, including Agroforestry, Agricultural economics, Biotechnology, Certification and Agricultural science. Topics in Horticulture were tackled in line with various other fields like Plant disease resistance, Specific gravity and Solanaceae. The in-depth study on Solanaceae also explores topics in the intersecting field of Tubercle.

It dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Botany and Ploidy.

  • Agronomy (40.45%)
  • Agriculture (31.96%)
  • Horticulture (29.70%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Colorado Potato Beetle Resistance to Insecticides (302 citations)

  • Antioxidants in Potato (267 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at American Journal of Potato Research:

The most cited articles facilitate discussions on Horticulture, Agronomy, Botany, Cultivar and Solanaceae. The most cited papers address concerns in the field of Agronomy by exploring it in line with topics in Agriculture which intersect with Crop subjects. The works on Botany tackled in the published papers bring together disciplines like Ploidy and Sucrose.

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Ecology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Horticulture, Cultivar, Solanum, Ploidy and Germplasm are among the topics commonly tackled in American Journal of Potato Research. American Journal of Potato Research facilitates discussions on Horticulture that incorporate concepts from other fields like Pollination and Potato virus Y. It explores issues in Cultivar which can be linked to other research areas like Polyphenol oxidase activity, Tyrosine and Chlorogenic acid, Food science, Browning.

It focuses on Solanum but sometimes tackles the closely related topic of Amplified fragment length polymorphism which is concerned with Core (optical fiber), Botany, Polymorphic locus and Evolutionary biology. The research on Ploidy tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Inoculation, Biotechnology, Allele and Nitrogen. Some problems in Germplasm that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Genetics, R gene, Compatibility (mechanics), Genotype and Blight.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Expression of the Tomato pot-1 Gene Confers Potato Virus Y (PVY) Resistance in Susceptible Potato Varieties (2 citations)

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, 14.63% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 68.57% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.57% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 11.43% of all publications and 11.43% 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.
