The journal is mainly concerned with subjects like Agronomy, Botany, Cultivar, Poaceae and Horticulture. Agronomy studies presented include Germplasm, Forage, Hybrid, Sorghum and Yield (wine). While Crop Science focused on Germplasm, it was also able to explore topics like Biotechnology and Genetic diversity.
Crop Science addresses concerns in Botany which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Field experiment, Resistance (ecology), Animal science and Genetics. Crop Science dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Cultivar and Plant disease resistance. The journal explores research in Poaceae and the adjacent study of Zea mays.
The published papers cover a variety of subjects, including Agronomy, Botany, Cultivar, Poaceae and Horticulture. While Botany is the key highlight in the journal articles, thet also covered some subjects on Genetic variability and Genetic variation. While work presented in the published papers provide substantial information on Cultivar, it also covers topics in Sowing and Plant breeding.
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 Crop Science (based on the number of publications) are:
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 top affiliations publishing in Crop Science (based on the number of publications) are:
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.
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, 3.93% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 40.64% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.60% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.91% of all publications and 36.84% were from other institutions.
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.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2021)For those interested in Plant Science and Agronomy, exploring related online degrees can open diverse career pathways. Many students seek programs with flexible admission criteria; for example, the easy admission online MPH programs highlight the growing accessibility of specialized online graduate degrees.
Healthcare and nutritional guidance are increasingly important in agricultural contexts. Students can consider an accelerated NP program to fast-track their careers in healthcare, complementing knowledge of plant-based nutrition and community health.
For those aiming to deepen clinical expertise, the best DNP programs online offer advanced nursing opportunities that can intersect with agronomy through wellness and environmental health initiatives.
Nutrition plays a vital role within agronomy disciplines, especially in sustainable food production and dietetics. Pursuing an online nutrition degree can enhance understanding of how plant science connects with human health outcomes, providing a holistic approach to career development.
