Overview

Top Research Topics at European Journal of Entomology?

The concepts of Ecology, Botany, Zoology, Lepidoptera genitalia and Larva are tackled in the journal. As a part of European Journal of Entomology, discussions in Ecology involve topics like Habitat, Predation, Coccinellidae, Abundance (ecology) and Species richness. In the Coccinellidae research discussed, Coccinella septempunctata and Harmonia axyridis are all tackled.

It focused on Botany research but expanded to cover Horticulture. It explores research in Zoology and the adjacent study of Phylogenetic tree. Specifically, studies on Pupa are prevalent in the Larva works discussed.

Parasitoid is a focus of the presented Hymenoptera works and it dives deep in Parasitoid. The in-depth study on Aphid also explores topics in the intersecting field of Aphididae. Research on Genus addressed in it frequently intersections with the field of Key (lock).

  • Ecology (33.65%)
  • Botany (26.56%)
  • Zoology (25.67%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Phylogeny of endopterygote insects, the most successful lineage of living organisms (190 citations)
  • Relationships among coleopteran suborders and major endoneopteran lineages: evidence from hind wing characters (188 citations)
  • Ground beetles (Carabidae) as seed predators (172 citations)

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

The journal publications mainly deal with areas of study such as Ecology, Botany, Coccinellidae, Aphid and Predation. The studies tackled in the journal publications, which mainly focus on Ecology, apply to Zoology as well. While the most cited papers focused on Botany, they were also able to explore topics like Animal science and Horticulture.

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Botany

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal primarily focuses on research topics in Zoology, Ecology, Hymenoptera, Hemiptera and Insect. European Journal of Entomology investigates Ecology research which frequently intersects with Field experiment. While Hymenoptera is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Nest, Ephemeral key, Acorn and Habitat.

Topics in Hemiptera were tackled in line with various other fields like Instar, Tribe (biology), PEST analysis, Encyrtidae and Anthocoridae. Instar research in it involves the investigation of Nymph studies, all of which are linked to disciplines such as Horticulture, Parasitism, Predation, Toxicology and Mortality rate. It holds forums on Insect that merges themes from other disciplines such as Nutrient, photoperiodism and Larva, Hermetia illucens.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Structure of canopy and ground-dwelling arthropod communities in olive orchards is determined by the type of soil cover (1 citations)
  • Fine structure of Drosophila larval salivary gland ducts as revealed by laser confocal microscopy and SEM (1 citations)
  • Molecular and morphological revision of Afrotropical Hypoborini (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) revealed novel bark beetle taxa with narrow geographical distributions (1 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.

The top authors publishing in European Journal of Entomology (based on the number of publications) are:

  • André Nel (17 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Radomír Socha (16 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Vasily V. Grebennikov (15 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Hermann M. Niemeyer (14 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Zdenka Martinkova (14 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition.

The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.

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, 96.08% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 0.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 100.00% 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.
