Overview

Top Research Topics at Biologia Plantarum?

Biologia Plantarum primarily tackles Botany, Biochemistry, Horticulture, Shoot and Agronomy. It explores research in Botany and the adjacent study of Explant culture. Most of the works presented in it deals with Biochemistry but it intersects with the subject of Food science.

The main emphasis of Biologia Plantarum is the subject of Horticulture, focusing on Cultivar. Shoot research featured in Biologia Plantarum incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Micropropagation, Murashige and Skoog medium and Auxin. Stomatal conductance is the primary subject of Photosynthesis works presented in Biologia Plantarum.

The field of Antioxidant is the anchor for the Superoxide dismutase studies presented in the journal. The work on Peroxidase addressed in Biologia Plantarum expands to the thematically related Catalase. The journal focuses on Gene research which is adjacent to topics in Molecular biology.

  • Botany (48.85%)
  • Biochemistry (21.16%)
  • Horticulture (14.35%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

Research areas of the most cited articles at Biologia Plantarum:

Botany, Horticulture, Biochemistry, Shoot and Superoxide dismutase are the main subjects of interest in the most cited papers. While the primary focus in the journal papers is Botany, they also dissect topics surrounding Explant culture and Callus as a whole. In addition to Biochemistry research, the published papers aim to explore topics under Food science and Cadmium.

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal tackles a plethora of topics, such as Gene, Cell biology, Horticulture, Biochemistry and Arabidopsis thaliana. Topics in Cell biology were tackled in line with various other fields like Heat shock protein, Hsp70, Superoxide dismutase and Yeast. Seedling are all disciplines of Horticulture that connect with topics in Elaeis guineensis.

The work on Arabidopsis thaliana tackled in Biologia Plantarum brings together disciplines like Salinity, Gene expression, Abscisic acid, Transgene and Drought tolerance. The tackled Abscisic acid research is interrelated with Chlorophyll which concerns subjects like Catalase and Abiotic component. Biologia Plantarum focuses on Proline but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Ecotype, Botany, Trehalose, Molecular cloning and WRKY protein domain.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Comparison of antioxidant enzyme activity and gene expression in two new spring wheat cultivars treated with salinity (1 citations)
  • Tolerance of Arabidopsis thaliana plants overexpressing grapevine VaSTS1 or VaSTS7 genes to cold, heat, drought, salinity, and ultraviolet irradiation (1 citations)
  • Topical application of double-stranded RNA molecules deriving from Tomato yellow leaf curl virus reduces cognate virus infection in tomato (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.

The top authors publishing in Biologia Plantarum (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.

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.
