Overview

Top Research Topics at Annual Review of Entomology?

The discussions in the journal mainly cover the fields of Ecology, Zoology, Insect, Evolutionary biology and Integrated pest management. The journal primarily discusses Ecology topics, particularly Ecology (disciplines), Host (biology), Predation, Habitat and Biological pest control. Parasitoid is a major topic of Host (biology) research.

The study on Insect presented in the journal intersects with the topics under Herbivore. It features Evolutionary biology research that overlaps with concepts in Phylogenetics. Topics in Integrated pest management were tackled in line with various other fields like Pest control, Agroforestry, Agriculture and PEST analysis.

The journal tackles topics on Pest control, which can potentially contribute to the wider field of Agronomy.

  • Ecology (42.99%)
  • Zoology (16.81%)

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 2022 edition, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 40.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 30.00% of all publications and 20.00% 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

Studying Ecology and Evolution opens doors to diverse career opportunities that often intersect with health sciences and environmental management. For those looking to expand their credentials, pursuing an accredited online health information management degree cahiim can enhance skills in managing health data and contribute to ecological research projects involving public health and conservation.

Healthcare roles are another pathway where ecology knowledge is valuable. For aspiring nurses eager to accelerate their careers, programs like 12-month accelerated nursing programs offer an efficient way to enter the field and integrate ecological health perspectives into patient care.

Certification options such as cpc vs ccs provide specialized credentials for those interested in coding, documentation, and health information, which are critical for research accuracy and funding in ecological studies involving human populations.

For professionals aiming to advance their practice, an fnp post master's certificate online is an excellent option. It offers focused training to become a Family Nurse Practitioner, bridging clinical expertise with an understanding of environmental factors affecting community health.
