Overview

Top Research Topics at Bulletin of Entomological Research?

The journal explores disciplines such as Ecology, Zoology, Botany, Larva and PEST analysis. Taxonomy (biology), Predation, Dry season, Habitat and Natural enemies are all aspects of Ecology research featured in the journal. The Zoology study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Host (biology).

Botany research discussed connects with the study of Horticulture. Research on Larva addressed in it frequently intersections with the field of Animal science. Bulletin of Entomological Research explores issues in PEST analysis which can be linked to other research areas like Toxicology and Agronomy.

The majority of Agronomy studies are focused on the issues of Crop. Aphididae is a key component of Homoptera research discussed in the journal. Noctuidae is a major topic of Lepidoptera genitalia research presented in Bulletin of Entomological Research.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Bulletin of Entomological Research:

The published articles primarily tackle Ecology, Botany, Zoology, PEST analysis and Larva. The works on Ecology tackled in the most cited papers bring together disciplines like Anopheles gambiae and Vector (epidemiology). The studies on Botany discussed at the journal publications can also contribute to research in the domains of Fecundity and Horticulture.

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Insect

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Bulletin of Entomological Research focuses on PEST analysis, Zoology, Horticulture, Biological pest control and Lepidoptera genitalia. PEST analysis research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Integrated pest management, Toxicology, Pest control, Drosophila suzukii and Insect. Research on Integrated pest management presented in the journal concerns the broader topic of Ecology.

In Bulletin of Entomological Research, Fecundity, Host (biology) and Competition (biology) are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Zoology research. The research on Horticulture tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Pupa, Crop and Nectar. While the primary focus in the journal is Biological pest control, it also dissects topics surrounding Predation and Introduced species and Nymph as a whole.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

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, 15.52% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 2.04% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.22% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.31% of all publications and 71.43% 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.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Studying Plant Science and Agronomy in the USA opens doors to diverse career opportunities in agriculture, environmental management, and biotechnology. For those passionate about improving plant health and crop production, exploring related online degrees can enhance expertise and career growth.

For individuals interested in healthcare connections within agricultural settings, understanding how to be a nurse practitioner can be valuable. Nurse practitioners often work closely in rural communities where agronomy knowledge supports public health initiatives.

Many students seek accelerated study options like the 6-month rn to bsn program, which efficiently advances registered nurses’ education—a model that parallels fast-tracked agricultural science certifications and degrees.

Additionally, bridging programs such as adn to np programs online highlight how specialized pathways can streamline education, a concept relevant for agronomy students pursuing advanced roles in research or agribusiness.

For those shifting careers, direct entry msn programs for non nurses online demonstrate how accessible direct-entry degrees promote career changes, similar to how individuals can transition into plant science and agronomy through tailored online programs.
