Top Research Topics at Biogeographia – The Journal of Integrative Biogeography?

Biogeographia – The Journal of Integrative Biogeography primarily tackles Ecology, Humanities, Fauna, Biogeography and Mediterranean climate. Biodiversity, Taxon, Endemism, Mediterranean sea and Habitat are among the concentrations of Ecology that garnered much attention in it. Zoogeography is a major topic of Fauna research presented in the journal.

  • Ecology (26.20%)
  • Humanities (12.09%)
  • Fauna (10.20%)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Biogeographia – The Journal of Integrative Biogeography:

The journal papers facilitate discussions on Ecology, Fauna, Biogeography, Mediterranean sea and Endemism. The journal articles tackle studies in Humanities and the interrelated subject of Hydraenidae and Oedemeridae to gain insights into Ecology. The most cited publications facilitate discussions on Fauna that incorporate concepts from other fields like Taxon, Archaeology, Peninsula and Key (lock).

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • IUCN Red List

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The concepts of Citizen science, Taxon, Ecology, Archaeology and Oceanography are tackled in Biogeographia – The Journal of Integrative Biogeography. The presented Citizen science research focuses mostly on Flora and, on occasion, topics in Species richness, Plant species and Amateur. It explores topics in Taxon which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Zoology, Taxonomy (biology), Skull and Porcupine, Hystrix cristata.

The journal focused on Ecology research but expanded to cover Biological dispersal. While Archaeology is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Tanaidacea, Genus and Fauna. Biogeographia – The Journal of Integrative Biogeography addresses concerns in Oceanography which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Marine protected area, Eagle ray, Chondrichthyes, Myliobatis aquila and Gastropoda.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • First record of Temnosewellia minor (Platyhelminthes, Temnocephalidae) in Sicily, with a plea for a re-examination of the identity of the publicly available molecular sequences of the genus (1 citations)
  • Scientists by chance: reliability of non-structured primary biodiversity data. Insights from Italian Forums of Natural Sciences (1 citations)
  • Out of Europe: Investigating Hystrix cristata (Rodentia: Hystricidae) skull morphometric geographic variability in Africa (1 citations)

Papers citation over time

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.

  • University of L'Aquila (1 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Konstanz (1 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Palermo (1 papers) absent at the last edition.

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.

Publication chance based on affiliation

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, 100.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, nan% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another nan% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included nan% of all publications and nan% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

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.

Returning Institution Index

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.

The experience to innovation index

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:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
