Overview

Top Research Topics at Chelonian Conservation and Biology?

The foci of Chelonian Conservation and Biology are Ecology, Turtle (robot), Fishery, Zoology and Habitat. Chelonian Conservation and Biology covers various topics on Ecology such as Nest, Tortoise, Range (biology), Hatchling and Endangered species. It links adjacent topics like Nest with Hatching.

The studies in Turtle (robot) featured incorporate elements of Threatened species, Home range, Carapace and Predation. The journal addresses concerns in Fishery which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Foraging and Nesting (computing). The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Zoology, apply to Juvenile as well.

The study on Sea turtle presented in Chelonian Conservation and Biology intersects with the topics under Rookery.

  • Ecology (61.40%)
  • Turtle (robot) (40.88%)
  • Fishery (32.67%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • A Global Analysis of Tortoise and Freshwater Turtle Distributions with Identification of Priority Conservation Areas (162 citations)
  • Demographic and ecological factors affecting conservation and management of the diamondback terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin) in South Carolina (100 citations)
  • Global conservation status of turtles and tortoises (order Testudines) (87 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Chelonian Conservation and Biology:

The journal articles explore disciplines such as Ecology, Fishery, Turtle (robot), Sea turtle and Cheloniidae. The most cited articles focus on Ecology but sometimes tackle the closely related topic of Rookery which is concerned with Genetic structure. In addition to Fishery research, the journal publications aim to explore topics under Nest, Hatching, Hatchling and Nesting (computing).

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:

Chelonian Conservation and Biology primarily tackles Fishery, Turtle (robot), Zoology, Ecology and Range (biology). It explores topics in Fishery which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Current distribution, Volume (compression) and Habitat. Turtle (robot) research presented in Chelonian Conservation and Biology encompasses a variety of subjects, including Endangered species and Population size.

Chelonian Conservation and Biology tackles research in Carapace as part of the general discipline of Zoology, however, it also discusses concepts in Tiger. The journal connects research in Ecology with the related topic of Immunity. In addition to Range (biology) research, Chelonian Conservation and Biology aims to explore topics under Natural (archaeology), Archaeology, Desert (philosophy) and Wetland.

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, 14.29% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 33.33% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.56% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 22.22% of all publications and 38.89% 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.
