Overview

Top Research Topics at Animal Biotechnology?

The scientific interests tackled in the journal are Genetics, Gene, Molecular biology, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Genotype. It encompasses presentations on Genetics, specifically Allele, Polymorphism (computer science), Exon, Microsatellite and Candidate gene. The study on Allele presented in Animal Biotechnology intersects with subjects under the field of Locus (genetics).

The study on Microsatellite presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Genetic diversity. The work tackled in Animal Biotechnology goes beyond the discipline of Gene as it also encompasses Cell biology. The research on Molecular biology tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Recombinant DNA, Complementary DNA, Peptide sequence, Messenger RNA and Polymerase chain reaction.

It addresses concerns in Single-nucleotide polymorphism which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Breed and Haplotype.

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, 5.58% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 38.18% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 13.18% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.36% of all publications and 32.27% 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

Pursuing a degree in Animal Science or Veterinary studies opens diverse career opportunities beyond traditional roles. For those interested in financial reward and job stability, exploring high paying jobs with animal science degree can reveal lucrative paths in fields like animal nutrition, research, and welfare consulting.

Additionally, interdisciplinary careers can enhance your prospects. For example, combining veterinary knowledge with healthcare expertise can be advantageous. Programs such as online rn to bsn degrees offer flexible routes for registered nurses seeking advancement, which may pair well with animal health research roles focused on zoonotic diseases.

For those interested in academia or specialized research, pursuing an online phd nursing can provide advanced skills applicable to public health and animal-human interaction studies. This level of education supports leadership roles in veterinary epidemiology or animal healthcare policy.

Moreover, nutrition plays a critical role in both human and animal health. Exploring masters programs in dietetics can complement a veterinary background, especially for those interested in animal diets, pet food formulation, or clinical dietetics for both animals and humans.
