Overview

Top Research Topics at Turkish Journal of Botany?

The primary areas of discussion in the journal are Botany, Taxon, Ecology, Flora and Genus. Most of the works presented in the journal deals with Botany but it intersects with the subject of Phylogenetic tree. The Taxon study featured in it draws parallels with the field of Subspecies.

Topics like Mediterranean climate and Phytoplankton are tackled as part of the discussions on Ecology. The work on Flora addressed in the journal expands to the thematically related Floristics.

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Turkish Journal of Botany focuses largely on the fields of Botany, Ecology, Genetic structure, microRNA and Hydrology. The Botany research dealing mostly with Taxonomy (biology) is the focus of the journal. Ecology research featured in Turkish Journal of Botany incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Salvadora oleoides, Genetic variation and Fungus.

Topics in microRNA explored in Turkish Journal of Botany were investigated in conjunction with research in Drought stress and Cultivar.

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

Exploring Plant Science and Agronomy often leads to diverse career opportunities in agriculture, environmental science, and biotechnology. For professionals seeking to expand their expertise or pivot careers, online degree programs offer flexibility and accelerated pathways. Similar to healthcare fields where programs such as the fastest way to become a nurse practitioner are prioritized, students in plant sciences can benefit from streamlined online options that fit busy schedules.

For those already holding foundational degrees, bridge programs offer an efficient route to advanced credentials. In nursing, programs like rn to bsn programs and adn to np provide models for similar accelerated learning paths that could inspire related agricultural science degrees.

Additionally, for individuals without prior degrees in the field, options comparable to direct entry msn programs for non-nurses online show how accessible and direct routes into advanced study can be. These flexible, online programs emphasize practical application, preparing graduates for impactful careers in their chosen science or agronomy roles.
