Aquatic Botany primarily tackles Botany, Ecology, Aquatic plant, Macrophyte and Seagrass. The research on Botany featured in the journal combines topics in other fields like Biomass (ecology), Agronomy and Horticulture. The journal investigates Biomass (ecology) research which frequently intersects with Productivity (ecology).
The study on Agronomy presented in Aquatic Botany intersects with the topics under Nutrient. Horticulture works presented in it have a specific focus on Germination. The presentations discussing Ecology offer insights in topics such as Habitat, Species richness, Wetland, Algae and Vegetation.
The Macrophyte works featured in Aquatic Botany incorporate elements from Sediment and Eutrophication. The journal explores research in Seagrass and the adjacent study of Bay. Shoot and Rhizome are closely related fields of research discussed in it.
The published papers mainly deal with areas of study such as Botany, Ecology, Seagrass, Aquatic plant and Agronomy. In addition to Botany research, the published papers aim to explore topics under Biomass (ecology), Phragmites and Horticulture. While the published papers focused on Agronomy, they were also able to explore topics like Typha and Wetland.
Aquatic Botany is organized to address concerns in the fields of Ecology, Seagrass, Macrophyte, Biomass (ecology) and Biogeography. Most of the works presented in Aquatic Botany deals with Ecology but it intersects with the subject of Nitellopsis obtusa. The featured Seagrass works encompass concepts such as Halophila stipulacea and examines them in conjunction with Jump.
Issues in Macrophyte were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Hydrology, Plateau, Introduced species and Underwater. It addresses concerns in Biomass (ecology) which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Bay, Zostera japonica, Zostera, Competition (biology) and Ruppia maritima. Aquatic Botany focused on Biogeography research but expanded to cover Ecosystem.
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 Aquatic Botany (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 Aquatic Botany (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 2022 edition, 42.86% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 50.00% of all publications and 25.00% 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.

(2022)For those interested in Plant Science and Agronomy, exploring related online degrees can open diverse career opportunities. Much like the healthcare field’s structured education pathways, agriculture offers similar flexibility. Students can benefit from programs designed for progression, much like rn to np pathways that allow seamless advancement in nursing. This concept of educational bridges applies across disciplines, encouraging continuous learning and career growth.
Accelerated programs are also gaining popularity because they shorten time to degree completion. Prospective students may find value in models such as direct entry msn programs, which facilitate quick entry into specialized fields. Similar approaches in agronomy help students efficiently gain expertise while balancing professional commitments.
When selecting an online program, it’s essential to compare offerings carefully. In nursing, for example, comparisons between programs like capella rn to bsn vs chamberlain rn to bsn highlight the importance of alignment with learning styles and career goals. Agricultural students should look for programs that combine strong academic support and practical experience to maximize their learning.
Lastly, specialized career roles such as becoming a functional nurse practitioner show how niche expertise can create unique career pathways. Similarly, agronomy graduates might pursue specialized roles in sustainable agriculture, crop management, or environmental consulting to stand out in the job market.
