Overview

Top Research Topics at Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control?

The scientific interests tackled in Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control are Botany, Natural enemies, Biological pest control, Horticulture and Pest control. Botany studies presented in it focus on topics such as Lepidoptera genitalia, Parasitoid, Spodoptera littoralis, Aphid and Homoptera. Some problems in Natural enemies that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Population density, Agronomy, Predation and Parasitism.

Topics in Predation were tackled in line with various other fields like Fecundity and Acari. In Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, Phytoseiidae and Mite are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Acari research. Concepts in Larva, as well as related topics in Galleria mellonella, are covered in the Biological pest control research presented in Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control.

Beauveria bassiana, Bassiana, PEST analysis, Inoculation and Fungicide are among the areas of Horticulture tackled. The concepts on Beauveria bassiana presented in Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control can also apply to other research fields, including Conidium and Metarhizium anisopliae. The work tackled in the journal goes beyond the discipline of Pest control as it also encompasses Chemical control.

  • Botany (33.22%)
  • Natural enemies (32.36%)
  • Biological pest control (30.39%)

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The objective of Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control is to combine knowledge in the areas of Biological pest control, Horticulture, Beauveria bassiana, Lepidoptera genitalia and PEST analysis. Topics in Biological pest control explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Integrated pest management, Toxicology and Larva. It focuses on Integrated pest management but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Pesticide and Biotechnology.

The work on Beauveria bassiana tackled in Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control brings together disciplines like Spore and Conidium, Metarhizium anisopliae. Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control holds forums on Lepidoptera genitalia that merges themes from other disciplines such as Bacillus thuringiensis and Trichogrammatidae. While PEST analysis is the focus of Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, it also provided insights into the studies of Pest control and Entomopathogenic nematode.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Botanical biopesticide combination concept—a viable option for pest management in organic farming (4 citations)
  • Biological control of bacterial wilt in tomato through the metabolites produced by the biocontrol fungus, Trichoderma harzianum (4 citations)
  • Native isolates of Trichoderma as bio-suppressants against sheath blight and stem rot pathogens of rice (3 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, 22.22% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 34.29% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 4.76% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.00% of all publications and 40.95% 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.
