Overview

Top Research Topics at Conservation?

The primary areas of discussion in the journal are Ecology, Environmental resource management, Wildlife, Agroforestry and Biodiversity. The in-depth study on Ecology also explores topics in the intersecting field of Extinction. The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Environmental resource management, apply to Good governance as well.

The Good governance works featured in it incorporate elements from Capacity building, Natural resource management and Public administration. The study on Agroforestry presented in Conservation intersects with subjects under the field of Agriculture. It explores research in Biodiversity and the adjacent study of Environmental planning.

  • Ecology (11.76%)
  • Environmental resource management (7.06%)
  • Wildlife (5.88%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea (89 citations)
  • When Worlds Collide (11 citations)
  • THE NEW NORMAL (9 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Conservation:

The journal publications mostly deal with topics like Sea level, Working through, New normal, Grief and Social psychology. The most cited publications with studies in Sea level featured incorporate elements of Fishery and Archaeology.

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

  • Ecology
  • Law
  • Agriculture

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Conservation investigates areas of study like Biodiversity, Ecosystem services, IUCN Red List, Threatened species and Environmental planning. Biodiversity research presented in Conservation encompasses a variety of subjects, including Taxon, Diversity (business) and Taxonomy (general). IUCN Red List research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Wildlife conservation, Critically endangered, CITES and Traditional medicine.

While it mainly focused on Critically endangered studies, it also tackled the scientific discipline of interrelated fields such as

  • Fishery most often made with reference to Conservation status,
  • Population size, which have a strong connection to Environmental resource management.. While Conservation focused on Fishery, it was also able to explore topics like Training (civil) and Ethnic group. The close relationship between Conservation biology and Wildlife and Habitat is one of the points of interest dissected in Environmental planning research.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • The Trouble with Anthropocentric Hubris, with Examples from Conservation (1 citations)
  • Anaerobic Mineralization of Recirculating Aquaculture Drum Screen Effluent for Use as a Naturally-Derived Nutrient Solution in Hydroponic Cropping Systems (1 citations)
  • How Threatened Is Scincella huanrenensis? An Update on Threats and Trends (1 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 top authors publishing in Conservation (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Nancy K. Diamond (4 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Eric Sorensen (3 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Luca Luiselli (2 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition,
  • Bruce A. Banks (2 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Fred Pearce (2 papers) absent at the last edition.

The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

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, 95.65% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 100.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 0.00% 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.
