The objective of Animal Cognition is to combine knowledge in the areas of Communication, Psychological research, Behavioural sciences, Cognitive psychology and Developmental psychology. While Communication is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Visual perception, Perception, Stimulus (physiology) and Gesture, Artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence research featured in Animal Cognition incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Computer vision and Pattern recognition.
Gaze, Context (language use), Object (philosophy) and Social cognition are some topics wherein Psychological research research discussed in it have an impact. The journal facilitates the exploration of Behavioural sciences in relation to the other disciplines, such as Social psychology, Social learning and Cognitive science. The work tackled in the journal goes beyond the discipline of Cognitive psychology as it also encompasses Cognition.
The work on Developmental psychology addressed in Animal Cognition expands to the thematically related Audiology.
The published papers investigate areas of study like Communication, Developmental psychology, Psychological research, Behavioural sciences and Cognition. While the journal publications focused on Communication, they were also able to explore topics like Gesture, Gaze, Artificial intelligence and Discrimination learning. The published papers address concerns in Psychological research which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Object (philosophy), Perception and Social cognition.
The journal is organized to address concerns in the fields of Behavioural sciences, Psychological research, Cognitive psychology, Cognition and Zoology. It facilitated discussions that integrated Behavioural sciences with the fields of Social learning, Foraging, Social cognition, Context (language use) and Test (assessment). The work on Psychological research tackled in it brings together disciplines like Perception, Affect (psychology), Applied psychology, Developmental psychology and Gesture.
The Cognitive psychology works featured in it incorporate elements from Stimulus (physiology), Flexibility (personality), Social relation and Gaze. Cognition research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Object (philosophy), Association (psychology), Alternation (linguistics) and Set (psychology). Zoology research discussed connects with the study of Predation.
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 Cognition (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 Cognition (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, 1.36% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 18.62% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.03% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 11.03% of all publications and 59.31% 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.
