The aim of the journal is to expand the discussion of research in Botany, Ecology, Algae, Taxonomy (biology) and Genus. The work tackled in European Journal of Phycology goes beyond the discipline of Botany as it also encompasses Cyanobacteria. It aims to address concerns in Ecology, specifically in the areas of Phytoplankton, Habitat, Plankton and Benthic zone.
The Taxonomy (biology) study featured falls within the wider field of Zoology. The journal focuses on Genus research which is adjacent to topics in Phylogenetic tree.
The most cited papers primarily focus on research topics in Botany, Ecology, Algae, Photosynthesis and Diatom. The journal papers link adjacent topics like Botany with Cyanobacteria. While Algae is the focus of the journal publications, it also provides insights into the studies of Total inorganic carbon and Biochemistry.
The main points discussed in the journal deals with Botany, Taxonomy (biology), Ecology, Genus and Phylogenetics. It explores issues in Botany which can be linked to other research areas like Molecular phylogenetics and Phylogenetic tree. While European Journal of Phycology focused on Taxonomy (biology), it was also able to explore topics like Monsoon, Phyllophoraceae, DNA barcoding and Porphyra.
Genus research presented in European Journal of Phycology encompasses a variety of subjects, including Diatom, Catalan, Polyphyly and Character (mathematics). European Journal of Phycology facilitates discussions on Phylogenetics that incorporate concepts from other fields like Evolutionary biology, Geniculate, Coralline algae, Algae and Colonialism. Topics in Algae were tackled in line with various other fields like Associated bacteria, Ecosystem, Irradiance and Nitrogen assimilation.
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 Phycology (based on the number of publications) are:
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.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in European Journal of Phycology (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
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, 5.17% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 9.09% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 23.64% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.36% of all publications and 50.91% were from other institutions.
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.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2020)Exploring Plant Science and Agronomy opens up diverse educational and career opportunities, often supported by flexible online degree options. For those interested in nutrition's role in plant and food sciences, an accelerated nutrition degree can provide specialized knowledge quickly, helping graduates apply their skills in agricultural and environmental health sectors.
Additionally, interdisciplinary paths such as healthcare intersect with agronomy, especially in community health and sustainable food systems. Programs like online accelerated nursing programs offer a streamlined track for career changers, empowering students to enter healthcare with efficiency and flexibility.
For those considering advanced clinical roles linked to nutrition and wellness, understanding the nurse practitioner course timelines is beneficial. These roles often collaborate with agricultural experts to promote holistic health strategies.
Moreover, bridges between practical experience and formal credentials are important. Programs like the rn to bsn in 3 months cater to professionals seeking rapid degree completion, demonstrating the value of accelerated formats in various scientific and healthcare fields related to agri-sciences.
