Arid Land Research and Management primarily focuses on research topics in Agronomy, Soil water, Arid, Hydrology and Soil science. It focuses on Agronomy but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Soil organic matter, Vegetation, Loam and Soil fertility. Arid Land Research and Management connects research in Soil fertility with the related topic of Soil type.
While Arid Land Research and Management focused on Soil water, it was also able to explore topics like Environmental chemistry, Calcareous and Water content. Arid Land Research and Management explores topics in Arid which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Agroforestry, Rangeland and Ecosystem. Arid Land Research and Management connects the study in Rangeland with the closely related area of Grazing.
The main emphasis of Arid Land Research and Management is the research on Hydrology, emphasizing the topic of Surface runoff. As a part of it, discussions in Ecology involve topics like Shrub, Species richness, Mediterranean climate and Plant community. Soil salinity studies covered in it falls within the purview of Salinity.
The journal publications are mainly concerned with subjects like Agronomy, Soil water, Arid, Hydrology and Soil science. While the most cited articles focused on Agronomy, they were also able to explore topics like Soil organic matter, Soil type, Loam and Soil fertility. Issues in Soil water were discussed in the published papers, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Environmental chemistry and Nutrient.
The primary areas of discussion in Arid Land Research and Management are Agronomy, Arid, Grazing, Rangeland and Ecosystem. Agronomy research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Shrub and Soil carbon. The work on Arid tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Natural (archaeology), Canopy, Hydrology, Physical geography and Spatial distribution.
Aside from discussions in Ecosystem, Arid Land Research and Management also deals with the subject of Agroforestry which intersects with Trampling and Soil fertility disciplines. The close relationship between Ordination and Soil water is one of the points of interest dissected in Climate change research. Most of the works presented in Arid Land Research and Management deals with Soil water but it intersects with the subject of Land reclamation.
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 Arid Land Research and Management (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 Arid Land Research and Management (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, 9.52% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 18.42% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 18.42% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 10.53% of all publications and 52.63% 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.
