Overview

Top Research Topics at European journal of taxonomy?

The scientific interests tackled in the journal are Zoology, Taxonomy (biology), Genus, Ecology and Key (lock). The research on Zoology featured in European journal of taxonomy combines topics in other fields like Taxon and Phylogenetic tree. Topics in Phylogenetic tree explored in European journal of taxonomy were investigated in conjunction with research in Evolutionary biology and Phylogenetics.

The Taxonomy (biology) study featured falls within the larger field of Botany. Genus research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Systematics, Type (biology), Subfamily and Morphology (biology). Fauna, Biodiversity, Crustacean, Biogeography and Habitat are all subfields of Ecology research that were featured in the journal.

The journal is mostly focused on Hymenoptera, specifically Ichneumonidae. Hemiptera research presented is mostly focused on the subject of Planthopper.

  • Zoology (54.14%)

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, 7.14% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 28.21% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 12.18% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 21.79% of all publications and 37.82% 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

Studying Ecology and Evolution in the USA opens doors to diverse career pathways that often intersect with healthcare and environmental management. For those interested in fast-tracking their education, some may explore accelerated options like 1 year mha programs online, which prepare graduates for leadership roles in healthcare settings emphasizing environmental health factors.

Similarly, individuals aiming for clinical roles may find 1 year np programs an efficient route to become Nurse Practitioners, with opportunities to specialize in fields that engage with ecological and evolutionary aspects of health. Transitioning further, career advancement can include moving from an fnp to acute care np role, offering specialized clinical expertise in acute environmental health conditions.

For those interested in the administrative side, roles like Health Information Manager provide crucial support in managing healthcare data related to population health and disease tracking, with promising prospects detailed in the health information management job description and salary resource. Exploring these connected degrees and careers complements the foundational knowledge provided by Ecology and Evolution studies.
