The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The main points discussed in European Journal of Horticultural Science deals with Horticulture, Cultivar, Botany, Agronomy and Quality (business). The research on Horticulture featured in it combines topics in other fields like Tree (data structure) and Thinning. Some problems in Cultivar that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Food science, Cold tolerance and Prunus.

It discusses concepts in Carotenoid and Pollen under Botany and how they intertwine with disciplines like Nectriaceae and Chemical composition. European Journal of Horticultural Science covers research in Agronomy, particularly Human fertilization and Waterlogging (agriculture) and how they are related with concepts in Southern china, Composition (visual arts) and Long term learning. It holds forums on Quality (business) that merges themes from other disciplines such as Syzygium, Canopy, Fertilizer and Postharvest.

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

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Pursuing a degree related to Plant Science and Agronomy opens doors to diverse career options, many of which integrate knowledge from nutrition, dietetics, and healthcare. For those interested in advanced healthcare roles, a dnp program online offers a pathway to becoming a Doctor of Nursing Practice, a role crucial for promoting community health and food safety.

Nutrition plays a vital role alongside agronomy in improving food systems. Earning a nutrition masters degree equips graduates with expertise to influence agricultural policies and design healthier crop strategies.

For undergraduates seeking foundational knowledge, enrolling in a nutrition school online provides flexible learning options that complement agronomy studies and prepare students for careers in food science, research, or environmental sustainability.

Additionally, becoming a registered dietitian through an online dietician program allows professionals to guide nutrition decisions critical to agricultural product development and community health initiatives.
