Overview

Top Research Topics at Crustaceana?

The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Carcinology, Ecology, Decapoda, Zoology and Fishery. The study of Crustacean serves as the foundation of the Carcinology research discussed in Crustaceana. Amphipoda, Copepod, Carapace, Habitat and Fauna are some of the facets of Ecology tackled in the journal.

The journal addresses concerns in Decapoda which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Anatomy and Humanities. The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Zoology, apply to Larva as well. More specifically, the research on Taxonomy (biology) in the journal is related to Holotype.

  • Carcinology (60.03%)
  • Ecology (34.07%)
  • Decapoda (31.59%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • A Method for Studying the External Anatomy of Copepods (359 citations)
  • Mating in the Brachyura (307 citations)
  • THE DETERMINATION OF RELATIVE GROWTH IN CRUSTACEA (294 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Crustaceana:

The journal articles focus on Carcinology, Decapoda, Ecology, Zoology and Humanities. The published articles explore issues in Carcinology which can be linked to other research areas like Bay and Genus. While work presented in the journal publications provide substantial information on Decapoda, it also covers topics in Forestry, Shrimp, Larva and Anatomy.

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

  • Ecology
  • Crustacean
  • Zoology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The main research concerns discussed in the journal are Zoology, Carcinology, Decapoda, Fishery and Ecology. Zoology study tackled is connected to the field of Shrimp. Some problems in Carcinology that were presented in Crustaceana overlapped with concepts under Crayfish, Range (biology), Calanoida and White (mutation).

Decapoda research in it involves the investigation of Oceanography studies, all of which are linked to disciplines such as Anomura. Crustaceana primarily discusses Ecology topics, particularly Habitat and Ecology (disciplines). Issues in Palaemonidae were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Exopalaemon carinicauda and River prawn.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Diel activity of Niphargus amphipods in spring habitats (4 citations)
  • Social interaction in males of the Amazon river prawn Macrobrachium amazonicum (Heller, 1862) (Decapoda, Palaemonidae) (2 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, 18.06% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.42% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 3.39% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 8.47% of all publications and 62.71% 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 those interested in working with animals, exploring the animal degrees available online can provide a solid foundation. These programs cover diverse topics from animal behavior to welfare, offering multiple career options in veterinary medicine, research, and wildlife conservation.

Healthcare is another growing field linked closely to veterinary and animal sciences, especially in terms of understanding biological systems. Programs like lvn to bsn programs offer flexible pathways for nursing professionals looking to advance their qualifications and gain expertise that complements animal care and health sciences.

For those aiming at leadership or research roles, pursuing advanced degrees such as a PhD is crucial. The phd nursing programs provide affordable, accessible options for further specialization that can benefit interdisciplinary fields like veterinary public health.

Nutrition also plays an essential role in animal and human health. The availability of top masters programs in dietetics give students opportunities to understand diet and nutrition science, which can be valuable for careers in animal nutrition or veterinary dietetics.
