Australian Journal of Zoology aims to foster the development of research in Zoology, Ecology, Zoogeography, Fauna and Biogeography. The Zoology works featured in it incorporate elements from Reproductive biology, Energetics and Reproduction. The research on Reproduction discussed in it draws on the closely related field of Seasonal breeder.
Ecology studies presented include Habitat, Predation, Range (biology), Foraging and Abundance (ecology). The journal links adjacent topics like Fauna with Larva. The journal explores issues in Systematics which can be linked to other research areas like Evolutionary biology, Subspecies and Key (lock).
Zoology, Ecology, Fauna, Zoogeography and Reproduction are the main subjects of interest in the journal papers. While Zoology is the focus of the most cited articles, it also provides insights into the studies of Reproductive biology, Energetics and Biogeography. While the most cited papers focused on Reproduction, they were also able to explore topics like Sexual maturity, Seasonal breeder, Larva and Mating.
The journal primarily tackles Zoology, Ecology, Habitat, Foraging and Pteropus. While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Zoology, it also covered topics in Range (biology) and Insectivore, Nyctophilus geoffroyi. The studies on Range (biology) discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Tree hollow, Seasonal breeder and Chalinolobus gouldii.
Resource (biology), Biological dispersal and Human settlement are some topics wherein Habitat research discussed in it have an impact. Topics in Foraging explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Hipposideridae, Old World and Predation. The research on Pteropus featured in it combines topics in other fields like Heat related mortality, Climate change, Extreme heat and Pteropus poliocephalus.
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 Australian Journal of Zoology (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 Australian Journal of Zoology (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, 38.46% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 62.50% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 37.50% 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 0.00% 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.

(2020)For those passionate about working with animals, exploring animal degrees offers diverse opportunities, including roles in zoology, wildlife conservation, and veterinary technology. These programs often blend biology, ecology, and hands-on animal care to prepare students for dynamic careers.
Beyond animal science, healthcare-related fields such as nursing provide complementary career options. Many professionals choose flexible pathways like rn to bsn online programs to advance their expertise and improve patient care outcomes. Online formats make it easier to balance studies with professional commitments.
For those who want to engage in research or policy development, pursuing a nursing phd online can open doors to academic and leadership roles in healthcare and veterinary nursing specialties. These doctorate programs emphasize critical thinking and evidence-based practice.
Additionally, nutrition is a key component in both human and animal health. Aspiring dietitians may consider enrolling in top-ranked dietitian graduate programs online to gain specialized knowledge in diet therapy, applicable to diverse settings including veterinary nutrition.
