Research areas of the most cited articles at Curtis's Botanical Magazine:

The most cited publications are mainly concerned with subjects like Ecology, Botany, Taxonomy (biology), Habitat and Ornamental plant. The published articles tackle research in Flora, Pollination, Pollen and Plant species as part of the general discipline of Ecology, however, they also discuss concepts in Glossophaginae. The journal articles dive deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Botany and Social science.

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Genus

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal tackles a plethora of topics, such as Botany, Nicotiana, Solanaceae, Orchidaceae and Cynorkis. It facilitates the exploration of Botany in relation to the fields of Hemipilia flabellata and Acer stachyophyllum. Attendees of Curtis's Botanical Magazine participated in discussions that delve into both Nicotiana and Hesperis.

Nicotiana megalosiphon studies in the realm of Solanaceae interact with fields like Nicotiana exigua, Sect and Reciprocal. The research on Orchidaceae tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Habitat destruction, Ecology (disciplines) and Threatened species.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

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

Pursuing a degree in Plant Science and Agronomy opens diverse career opportunities, often enhanced by complementary online programs in health and science fields. For those interested in integrating agricultural knowledge with public health, enrolling in the fastest and easiest online MPH programs can be a strategic choice. These programs prepare graduates for roles in community health, environmental health, and agricultural policy.

For professionals aiming to expand their expertise, accelerated nursing pathways such as the accelerated FNP programs provide fast-tracked options to become Family Nurse Practitioners, which may complement agronomy by addressing rural healthcare needs.

Those already holding a nursing degree should consider advanced degrees, including the MSN to DNP online programs, which offer flexible learning tailored for working professionals. Understanding financial prospects is also crucial; exploring data on how much do DNP nurses make can help in making informed career decisions.

Combining knowledge in Plant Science with health-related fields expands career pathways in both agriculture and healthcare sectors, making multidisciplinary online programs an excellent investment for future growth.
