Behavior Genetics primarily focuses on research topics in Developmental psychology, Genetics, Health psychology, Heritability and Twin study. The research on Developmental psychology tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Cognition, Correlation, Personality and Gene–environment interaction. Quantitative trait locus, Gene, Inbred strain, Drosophila melanogaster and Genetic variation are Genetics topics of special interest in Behavior Genetics.
Melanogaster is a focus of the presented Drosophila melanogaster works and it dives deep in Melanogaster. The journal explores issues in Health psychology which can be linked to other research areas like Social psychology, Clinical psychology, Psychiatry and Behavioural genetics. Heritability research presented in Behavior Genetics encompasses a variety of subjects, including Statistics, Demography and Genetic correlation.
The published articles tackle a plethora of topics, such as Developmental psychology, Genetics, Heritability, Twin study and Health psychology. While the published articles focused on Developmental psychology, they were also able to explore topics like Assortative mating, Big Five personality traits, Personality, Demography and Cognition. The most cited articles discuss concepts in Quantitative trait locus, Gene and Inbred strain under Genetics and how they intertwine with disciplines like Trait.
The scientific interests tackled in Behavior Genetics are Health psychology, Public health, Developmental psychology, Heritability and Behavioural genetics. While the journal focused on Health psychology, it was also able to explore topics like Twin study, Demography, Substance use, Gene–environment interaction and Etiology. Topics in Twin study were tackled in line with various other fields like Statistics and Alcohol use disorder.
In Behavior Genetics, Intervention (counseling), Applied psychology and Aggression are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Public health research. In addition to Developmental psychology research, it aims to explore topics under Longitudinal study, Psychopathology and Cognition. Behavior Genetics facilitates discussions on Heritability that incorporate concepts from other fields like Offspring, Optimism, Genetic correlation, Correlation and Meaning (existential).
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 Behavior Genetics (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 Behavior Genetics (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, 1.56% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 58.73% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.35% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 7.94% of all publications and 26.98% 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.
