Overview

Top Research Topics at Entomologia Experimentalis Et Applicata?

Entomologia Experimentalis Et Applicata primarily focuses on research topics in Botany, Ecology, Zoology, PEST analysis and Horticulture. Research on Botany addressed in the journal frequently intersections with the field of Host (biology). The work tackled in the journal goes beyond the discipline of Ecology as it also encompasses Biological dispersal.

The study on Zoology presented in the journal intersects with the topics under Fecundity. The journal holds forums on PEST analysis that merges themes from other disciplines such as Biological pest control and Agronomy. Instar and Pupa are all aspects of Larva research featured in Entomologia Experimentalis Et Applicata.

Most of the works presented in it deals with Lepidoptera genitalia but it intersects with the subject of Sex pheromone. The Aphid study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Aphididae. The research on Parasitoid discussed in Entomologia Experimentalis Et Applicata draws on the closely related field of Parasitism.

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Insect

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Entomologia Experimentalis Et Applicata primarily tackles Zoology, Hemiptera, Lepidoptera genitalia, Biological pest control and Botany. While work presented in Entomologia Experimentalis Et Applicata provided substantial information on Zoology, it also covered topics in Reproduction, Larva, Predation and Coccinellidae. Topics in Hemiptera were tackled in line with various other fields like Plant defense against herbivory, Aphid, Whitefly and Aphididae.

The subject of Horticulture, which is connected to the field of Integrated pest management, serves as the foundation of the Lepidoptera genitalia research featured in it. It emphasizes research on Botany, which includes concerns such as Asteraceae. Research on Parasitoid featured in Entomologia Experimentalis Et Applicata is anchored on the understanding of topics like Host (biology) and Ecology.

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, 18.75% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 10.58% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.69% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.50% of all publications and 69.23% 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.
