Endangered Species Research

Top Research Topics at Endangered Species Research?

The concepts of Ecology, Fishery, Endangered species, Habitat and Foraging are tackled in Endangered Species Research. Threatened species, Range (biology), Critically endangered, Predation and Abundance (ecology) are some of the study areas of Ecology discussed. Bycatch, Fishing, Sea turtle, Turtle (robot) and Whale are some of the facets of Fishery tackled in it.

It focuses on Endangered species but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Zoology and IUCN Red List. Habitat works presented in it have a specific focus on Habitat destruction.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Endangered Species Research:

Ecology, Fishery, Endangered species, Habitat and Sea turtle are the main subjects of interest in the journal papers. The journal publications deal with Fishery in conjunction with Bay and similar fields in Right whale. The published articles focus on Endangered species but also tackle concerns of closely connected disciplines like

• IUCN Red List that connect with fields like Critically endangered,
• Whale which is related to area like Predation..

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

• Ecology
• IUCN Red List
• Habitat

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The main research concerns discussed in Endangered Species Research are Fishery, Ecology, Endangered species, Zoology and Habitat. The research on Fishery featured in Endangered Species Research combines topics in other fields like Critical habitat and Smalltooth sawfish. Endangered Species Research connects research in Ecology with the related topic of Fecundity.

It investigates Endangered species research which frequently intersects with Turtle (robot). It explores research in Zoology and the adjacent study of Genetic diversity. The journal connects the study in Habitat with the closely related area of Selection (genetic algorithm).

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Climate change and marine turtles: recent advances and future directions (7 citations)
• Marine mammal conservation: over the horizon (4 citations)
• Shedding light on the river and sea lamprey in western European marine waters (3 citations)

Papers citation over time

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.

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, 23.29% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 39.29% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.71% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 21.43% of all publications and 28.57% 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.
