Animal Behaviour tackles a plethora of topics, such as Ecology, Zoology, Developmental psychology, Predation and Communication. Most of the Ecology studies addressed also intersect with Demography. Animal Behaviour explores topics in Demography which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Paternal care and Reproductive success.
While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Zoology, it also covered topics in Offspring and Reproduction. The journal connects the study in Developmental psychology with the closely related area of Social relation. The Social relation study which was featured in Animal Behaviour aims to expound on the research in Social psychology.
Predator is a major topic of Predation research. The Communication research dealing mostly with Animal communication is the focus of it. Agonistic behaviour is a major topic of Aggression research presented in the journal.
The most cited articles mainly tackle studies in Ecology, Zoology, Developmental psychology, Foraging and Predation. The works on Ecology tackled in the most cited articles bring together disciplines like Demography and Reproductive success. The most cited papers facilitate discussions on Zoology that incorporate concepts from other fields like Communication and Reproduction.
Animal Behaviour explores disciplines such as Zoology, Predation, Demography, Foraging and Mating. Zoology research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Offspring, Reproductive success and Reproduction. The study of Ecology serves as the foundation of the Predation research discussed in the journal.
The Demography works featured in Animal Behaviour incorporate elements from Aggression and Personality. Aside from discussions in Foraging, the journal also deals with the subject of Context (language use) which intersects with Cognitive psychology and Competition (biology) disciplines. It tackles studies in Courtship and the interrelated subject of Communication to gain insights into Mate choice.
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 Animal Behaviour (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 Animal Behaviour (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, 2.46% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 16.81% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.76% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.87% of all publications and 57.56% 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.
