Overview

Top Research Topics at Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture?

The discussions in the journal mainly cover the fields of Plant physiology, Agronomy, Horticulture, Food science and Soil water. Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture is concerned with the study of Plant physiology and Botany in general. Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture explores issues in Agronomy which can be linked to other research areas like Biomass, Rhizosphere and Nutrient.

Most of the Horticulture studies addressed also intersect with Proline. The research on Food science tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Raw material, Antimicrobial, Extraction (chemistry) and Antioxidant. While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Soil water, it also covered topics in Environmental chemistry, Phosphorus and Phosphate.

Environmental chemistry research featured in Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Soil organic matter, Organic matter, Plant biochemistry and Biochar. While Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture focused on Fertilizer, it was also able to explore topics like Manure and Human fertilization. The journal aims to investigate interdisciplinary topics such as Abiotic component and Abiotic stress.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture:

The journal articles focus on Agronomy, Plant physiology, Botany, Nutrient and Agroforestry. The most cited papers address concerns in Agronomy which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Biomass, Cropping, Soil water and Aqueous solution. While Botany is the focus of the journal articles, it also provides insights into the studies of Rhizosphere, Symbiosis, Metabolic pathway and Root hair.

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

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Organic chemistry

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture was organized to reinforce research efforts on Horticulture, Plant physiology, Food science, Biochar and Agronomy. Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture features works in Horticulture, more specifically Germination, and explores their relation to disciplines like Abiotic component. Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture explores topics in Plant physiology which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Photosynthesis, Biochemistry, Inoculation, Chlorophyll and Drought tolerance.

In addition to Biochar research, the journal aims to explore topics under Organic matter, Nutrient, Soil pH, Biomass and Environmental chemistry. Topics in Agronomy explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Soil water and Low dose. In the journal, Rhizosphere, Crop and Water-use efficiency are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Soil water research.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Recent progress in the research of Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels polysaccharides: extraction, purification, structure and bioactivities (14 citations)
  • Paclobutrazol as a plant growth regulator (6 citations)
  • Coloured plastic mulches: impact on soil properties and crop productivity (6 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 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, 5.88% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 35.42% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.25% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.50% of all publications and 45.83% 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.
