The concepts of Ecology, Zoology, Predation, Nest and Fishery are tackled in Ardea. Most of the works presented in the journal deals with Ecology but it intersects with the subject of Reproductive success. The study on Zoology presented in the journal intersects with subjects under the field of Hatching.
Haematopus ostralegus, Oystercatcher and Predator are among the areas of Predation tackled. The main emphasis of it is the subject of Nest, focusing on Avian clutch size.
The most cited articles primarily tackle Ecology, Zoology, Predation, Fishery and Parus. The featured Ecology studies in the published articles mainly concentrate on Reproductive success but also cover areas of interest in Brood. The published papers explore topics in Fishery which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Oystercatcher, Spring (hydrology) and Haematopus ostralegus.
The journal is organized to address concerns in the fields of Fishery, Ecology, Nest, Zoology and Predation. In addition to Fishery research, Ardea aims to explore topics under Flyway, Mediterranean climate and Dalmatian pelican. Aside from Ecology, the journal also covered works in the field of Pair formation.
The study of Nest encompasses disciplines such as Paternal care, as well as fields such as Cyanistes, Fledge, Polygyny and Mating system, all of which overlap with one another. The research on Zoology featured in it combines topics in other fields like Phylica arborea, Population size and Phylica. The journal tackles research in European shag as part of the general discipline of Predation, however, it also discusses concepts in Sporophila lineola and Alarm signal.
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 Ardea (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 Ardea (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, 21.43% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 18.18% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 18.18% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 63.64% 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.
