European Journal of Agronomy

Top Research Topics at European Journal of Agronomy?

The foci of European Journal of Agronomy are Agronomy, Crop, Cultivar, Crop yield and Sowing. The research on Agronomy tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Agriculture and Soil water. Cropping is the primary subject of Agriculture works presented in the journal.

The work on Soil water tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Irrigation and Water content. European Journal of Agronomy holds forums on Crop that merges themes from other disciplines such as Biomass (ecology), Dry matter, Biomass and Growing season. Dry matter research discussed connects with the study of Shoot.

Cultivar research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Field experiment and Phenology. Issues in Crop yield were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Cropping system, Tillage and Yield (finance). The Fertilizer study featured in the journal draws connections with the study of Manure.

Research areas of the most cited articles at European Journal of Agronomy:

The published articles mainly deal with areas of study such as Agronomy, Poaceae, Cultivar, Soil water and Crop yield. The most cited articles explore research in Agriculture and overlapping concepts in Climate change to expand the discourse in Agronomy. The journal papers address concerns in the field of Crop yield by exploring it in line with topics in Fertilizer which intersect with Manure subjects.

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

• Botany
• Ecology
• Agriculture

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

European Journal of Agronomy primarily tackles Agronomy, Crop, Sowing, Yield (finance) and Forage. Some problems in Agronomy that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Photosynthesis and Basal (phylogenetics). Crop yield, Agriculture, Inoculation and Yield (wine) are some topics wherein Crop research discussed in European Journal of Agronomy have an impact.

European Journal of Agronomy addresses concerns in Sowing which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Cultivar, Phenology and Maturity (geology). The research on Yield (finance) tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Agroforestry and Biodiversity. European Journal of Agronomy features Forage research that overlaps with concepts in Tropics.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Combining UAV multispectral imagery and ecological factors to estimate leaf nitrogen and grain protein content of wheat (0 citations)
• Short phases of tropical forage legumes increase production of subsequent cereal crops in the seasonally dry tropics of eastern Indonesia (0 citations)
• Modeling the impact of climate warming on potato phenology (0 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 2022 edition, 33.33% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 50.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 25.00% of all publications and 0.00% 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.
