Overview

Top Research Topics at Canadian Journal of Plant Pathology-revue Canadienne De Phytopathologie?

Canadian Journal of Plant Pathology-revue Canadienne De Phytopathologie tackles a plethora of topics, such as Botany, Agronomy, Horticulture, Cultivar and Inoculation. While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Botany, it also covered topics in Plant disease resistance, Pathogen and Virulence. Virulence study tackled is connected to the field of Microbiology.

The work tackled in the journal goes beyond the discipline of Agronomy as it also encompasses Fusarium. Head blight is a focus of the Fusarium works in Canadian Journal of Plant Pathology-revue Canadienne De Phytopathologie. Blight is a major topic of Horticulture research.

The work on Canola addressed in the journal expands to the thematically related Brassica. Canadian Journal of Plant Pathology-revue Canadienne De Phytopathologie centers on topics in Brassica, with a focus on Clubroot.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Canadian Journal of Plant Pathology-revue Canadienne De Phytopathologie:

The main points discussed in the journal articles deal with Botany, Agronomy, Fusarium, Horticulture and Cultivar. While work presented in the journal articles provide substantial information on Botany, it also covers topics in Plant disease resistance, Pathogen, Microbiology, Host (biology) and Virulence. Issues in Fusarium were discussed in the journal publications, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Mycotoxin and Anthesis.

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Gene

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal focuses largely on the fields of Horticulture, Botany, Agronomy, Resistance (ecology) and Pathogen. The journal features works in Horticulture, more specifically Blight, Fusarium and Powdery mildew, and explores their relation to disciplines like Cannabis sativa. The Head blight studies presented in the journal fall under the field of Fusarium, but it also has connections to other fields such as Alberta canada.

The studies on Botany discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Pathogenicity and Virulence. The journal facilitated presentations on Agronomy research, particularly Canola, Stem rust, Brassica, Plasmodiophora brassicae and Clubroot. Cultivar, Stripe rust, Biotechnology, Rust and Quantitative trait locus are some topics wherein Resistance (ecology) research discussed in Canadian Journal of Plant Pathology-revue Canadienne De Phytopathologie have an impact.

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, 7.56% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 59.09% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 3.64% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 8.18% of all publications and 29.09% 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.
