Overview

Top Research Topics at Canadian Entomologist?

The scientific interests tackled in Canadian Entomologist are Zoology, Ecology, Botany, Lepidoptera genitalia and Larva. The journal aims to address concerns in Zoology, specifically in the areas of Genus and Hymenoptera. Taxonomy (biology) and Predation are some of the study areas of Ecology discussed.

The study on Botany presented in the journal intersects with the topics under Horticulture. It facilitated presentations on Lepidoptera genitalia research, particularly Tortricidae and Noctuidae. Spruce budworm is part of Tortricidae studies tackled in it.

Canadian Entomologist concentrates on Larva topics that focus on Pupa and Instar. Aphididae is a major topic of Homoptera research presented in the journal. Aphididae study tackled is connected to the field of Aphid.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Canadian Entomologist:

The most cited publications are organized to address concerns in the fields of Ecology, Zoology, Botany, Larva and Lepidoptera genitalia. The most cited articles hold forums on Zoology that merge themes from other disciplines such as Host (biology) and Parasite hosting. The journal papers feature Botany research that overlaps with concepts in Horticulture.

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Genus

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal aims to foster the development of research in Zoology, Curculionidae, Ecology, Horticulture and Cancer therapy. Topics in Zoology were tackled in line with various other fields like Abundance (ecology), Pupa and Infestation. The Curculionidae research presented falls under the domain of Botany.

The work tackled in Canadian Entomologist goes beyond the discipline of Botany as it also encompasses Host (biology). PEST analysis is a focus of the Horticulture works in it. The work on PEST analysis tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Sitodiplosis mosellana and Agronomy.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Semiochemical-mediated host selection by Xylosandrus spp. ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) attacking horticultural tree crops: a review of basic and applied science (8 citations)
  • Semiochemicals for bark beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) management in western North America: where do we go from here? (5 citations)
  • Evaluation of compounds for repellency of the multicoloured Asian lady beetle (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in vineyards (4 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.

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, 46.67% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 40.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 2.50% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 10.00% of all publications and 47.50% 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

For those interested in Plant Science and Agronomy, exploring related online degrees can broaden career opportunities. Just as healthcare fields offer accelerated paths—such as how to be a nurse practitioner—agronomy students can benefit from streamlined, focused programs. These programs allow learners to gain specialized knowledge efficiently.

Similar to the accelerated nature of a 6-month rn to bsn program in nursing, some agricultural studies offer fast-tracked online options. These allow students to enter the workforce or advance their education without prolonged breaks in study.

Bridge programs, like those highlighted in adn to np programs, serve as a model for laterally moving into advanced roles. Agricultural professionals might similarly pursue bridge degrees to transition into research, management, or policy positions.

Furthermore, innovative options such as msn direct entry programs online demonstrate how non-traditional students can enter specialized fields quickly. This concept can inspire agronomy programs to offer direct-entry, flexible online courses tailored for diverse learners aiming to impact food security, sustainability, and environmental health.
