Overview

Top Research Topics at Chemoecology?

The scientific interests tackled in Chemoecology are Botany, Zoology, Ecology, Nature Conservation and Pheromone. Chemoecology features Botany research that overlaps with concepts in Host (biology). The studies on Zoology discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Insect and Olfactometer.

It concentrates on Ecology topics that focus on Predation, Entomology and Foraging. The majority of Predation studies are focused on the issues of Predator. Research on Nature Conservation addressed in it frequently intersections with the field of Ecology (disciplines).

The research on Pheromone discussed in the journal draws on the closely related field of Sex pheromone. The journal links adjacent topics like Sex pheromone with PEST analysis.

  • Botany (54.93%)
  • Zoology (20.55%)
  • Ecology (20.07%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of Nicotiana attenuata, a model ecological expression system (297 citations)
  • Plant chemistry and insect sequestration. (270 citations)
  • A review of the chemical ecology of the Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) (250 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Chemoecology:

The most cited articles investigate areas of study like Botany, Ecology, Herbivore, Predation and Pheromone. The works on Botany tackled in the most cited publications bring together disciplines like Zoology and Host (biology). The journal papers about Entomology, Ecology (disciplines), Nature Conservation and Semiochemical research are fields of study within Ecology but they also intertwine with concepts in Context (language use).

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 concepts of Zoology, Entomology, Pheromone, Sex pheromone and Horticulture are tackled in the journal. While work presented in it provided substantial information on Zoology, it also covered topics in Larva, Predation and Chemical ecology. The concepts on Pheromone presented in Chemoecology can also apply to other research fields, including Ethanol, Bark beetle, Nature Conservation, Termitidae and Inquiline.

The study of Lepidoptera genitalia and how it intertwines with concepts under Biochemistry and Female sex were explored in the presented Sex pheromone research. Genus research presented falls under the umbrella topic of Botany. Botany study tackled is connected to the field of Bioassay.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • The phytopathogen ‘ Candidatus Phytoplasma mali’ alters apple tree phloem composition and affects oviposition behavior of its vector Cacopsylla picta (5 citations)

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, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 16.67% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 28.57% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 7.14% of all publications and 47.62% 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 students interested in Plant Science and Agronomy, expanding knowledge in related fields can open up diverse career opportunities. Many professionals explore interdisciplinary paths such as nutrition and healthcare to complement their agricultural expertise.

Online programs offer flexibility and accelerated routes, as seen in accelerated fnp programs. These are ideal for those wishing to transition quickly into advanced nursing roles with a focus on community health and nutrition.

Continuing education options like the msn to dnp program offer nurses the chance to deepen their clinical and leadership skills, often integrating knowledge relevant to public health and agricultural food systems.

For a focus closer to agronomy, degrees such as a masters in nutrition provide critical insight into the science of food and human health, linking plant science to dietetics and food production.

Starting with foundational knowledge, a nutrition degree online can serve as a stepping stone into both agriculture-related and health-focused professions, offering a broad understanding that supports sustainable food systems and wellness.
