Overview

Top Research Topics at Animal Biotelemetry?

The objective of Animal Biotelemetry is to combine knowledge in the areas of Fishery, Telemetry, Ecology, Habitat and Oceanography. Some problems in Fishery that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Range (biology), Juvenile, Bay and Chinook wind. The main emphasis of it is the research on Telemetry, emphasizing the topic of Biotelemetry.

The research on Habitat featured in it combines topics in other fields like Spatial ecology and Foraging. The Foraging works featured in Animal Biotelemetry incorporate elements from Zoology and Predation. Predation works presented in it have a specific focus on Predator.

It facilitated presentations on Oceanography research, particularly Water column and Diel vertical migration. Fishing research presented is mostly focused on the subject of Fisheries management.

  • Fishery (27.00%)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Animal Biotelemetry:

The most cited publications investigate areas of study like Telemetry, Ecology, Fishery, Artificial intelligence and Oceanography. The studies on Ecology discussed at the published articles can also contribute to research in the domains of Trout and Carcharodon. The journal papers facilitate discussions on Fishery that incorporate concepts from other fields like Fish species and Swimming capacity.

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

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Internal medicine

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Animal Biotelemetry mostly deals with topics like Fishery, Telemetry, Range (biology), Zoology and Global Positioning System. Topics in Fishery were tackled in line with various other fields like Fish migration, Home range, Habitat and Foraging. It explores issues in Telemetry which can be linked to other research areas like In situ, Range (statistics), Event (probability theory) and Remote sensing.

Animal Biotelemetry tackles studies in Diel vertical migration and the interrelated subject of Invasive species, Lutjanus and Seagrass to gain insights into Range (biology). The journal facilitates discussions on Zoology that incorporate concepts from other fields like Flight behaviour and Body condition. In addition to Global Positioning System research, Animal Biotelemetry aims to explore topics under Image resolution, Artificial intelligence, Interpolation, Geodesy and Pattern recognition.

Papers citation over time

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 Biotelemetry (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.

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, 2.33% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 30.95% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.90% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 28.57% of all publications and 28.57% 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.
