The foci of the journal are Animal ecology, Botany, Biological pest control, Ecology and Zoology. While the primary focus in it is Animal ecology, it also dissects topics surrounding Parasitoid and Aphid as a whole. In addition to Botany research, the journal aims to explore topics under Host (biology) and Parasitism.
The Biological pest control works featured in it incorporate elements from Pest control, Agronomy, Weed, Lepidoptera genitalia and Toxicology. The Ecology research presented places emphasis on topics like Coccinellidae, Introduced species and Natural enemies. The majority of Coccinellidae studies presented zero in on Harmonia axyridis.
Zoology study tackled is connected to the field of Fecundity. Larva research presented is mostly focused on the subject of Pupa. It is focused mainly on Predation, particularly Predator.
The journal articles cover a variety of subjects, including Animal ecology, Botany, Ecology, Biological pest control and Horticulture. The study of Animal ecology in the most cited papers encompasses disciplines such as Parasitoid, as well as fields such as Parasitism, all of which overlap with one another. The journal papers focus on Botany but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Fecundity and Host (biology).
The journal aims to foster the development of research in Animal ecology, Biological pest control, Zoology, Parasitoid and Entomology. Predation, PEST analysis, Horticulture, Braconidae and Generalist and specialist species are some topics wherein Animal ecology research discussed in it have an impact. The discussions emphasized the topic of Biological pest control in an attempt to further explore the field of Botany.
The presented studies in Weed fall within the purview of Botany but it also intertwines with topics in Cleome hassleriana. The concepts on Parasitoid presented in Biocontrol can also apply to other research fields, including Parasitism, Foraging, Agronomy and Introduced species. Entomology research featured in Biocontrol incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Competition (biology), Agriculture and Larva.
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 Biocontrol (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 Biocontrol (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, 7.59% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 19.18% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 9.59% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 26.03% of all publications and 45.21% 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.

(2021)Exploring Plant Science and Agronomy opens doors to diverse career opportunities in agriculture, food security, and environmental sustainability. To complement these fields, many students consider specialized nutrition programs that provide critical insights into plant-based diets and food systems.
For those interested in advanced study, a masters degree in nutrition offers a pathway to leadership roles in research, public health, and policy focused on sustainable agriculture and food quality.
Undergraduates may find value in pursuing an online dietitian degree, providing foundational knowledge of nutrition science, which pairs well with expertise in crop and soil sciences to tackle challenges related to food production and human health.
Cost can be a major barrier, but exploring the cheapest online nutrition degree options enables students to access quality education without excessive financial burden.
Furthermore, for those seeking to enter the workforce quickly, programs offering the online degrees in nutrition allow for a faster route to career advancement in nutrition consulting, agricultural planning, or food safety analysis.
