Overview

Top Research Topics at Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology?

Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology mainly tackles studies in Cultivar, Agronomy, Horticulture, Botany and Crop yield. Topics in Cultivar explored in Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology were investigated in conjunction with research in Plant disease resistance, Yield (wine) and Plant breeding. Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology focuses on Plant disease resistance but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Powdery mildew and Leaf spot.

Some problems in Agronomy that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Selection (genetic algorithm) and Genotype. The studies on Selection (genetic algorithm) discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Genetic gain, Trait, Biotechnology and Heritability. The tackled Biotechnology research is interrelated with Genetic variation which concerns subjects like Genetic marker.

Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology aims to address concerns in Horticulture, specifically in the areas of Germplasm and Inoculation. The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Botany, apply to Genetic diversity as well. In the journal, Genetics and Genetic variability are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Genetic diversity research.

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology was organized to reinforce research efforts on Horticulture, Cultivar, Plant breeding, Gene and Genotype. Horticulture research discussed connects with the study of Fertigation. The presented studies in Breeding program fall within the purview of Cultivar but it also intertwines with topics in Public institution.

While Plant breeding is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Biomass, Computational biology and Orange (colour). The featured Gene works encompass concepts such as CRISPR and Cas9 and examines them in conjunction with Field survey. While it focused on Genotype, it was also able to explore topics like Subtropics, Trait, Selection (genetic algorithm) and Locus (genetics).

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, 20.59% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 51.85% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 3.70% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 11.11% of all publications and 33.33% 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.
