Overview

Top Research Topics at Evolutionary Biology-new York?

The objective of Evolutionary Biology-new York is to combine knowledge in the areas of Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Zoology, Genetics and Developmental biology. The research on Evolutionary biology tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Ecology (disciplines), Natural selection, Selection (genetic algorithm), Adaptation and Human genetics. Evolutionary Biology-new York aims to bridge the gap between the study of Selection (genetic algorithm) and Trait.

The work on Ecology addressed in Evolutionary Biology-new York expands to the thematically related Phylogenetic tree. The work on Phylogenetic tree presented in Evolutionary Biology-new York focuses on Clade in particular. Evolutionary Biology-new York holds forums on Zoology that merges themes from other disciplines such as Ontogeny and Allometry.

The majority of Genetics studies are focused on the issues of Genetic variation. Sexual selection and Mate choice are closely related fields of research discussed in Evolutionary Biology-new York.

  • Evolutionary biology (40.06%)
  • Ecology (29.66%)
  • Zoology (19.27%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Advances in Geometric Morphometrics (780 citations)
  • Patterns of neotropical plant species diversity. (685 citations)
  • EVOLUTION OF SPECIES DIVERSITY IN LAND COMMUNITIES. (638 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Evolutionary Biology-new York:

The journal publications mostly deal with topics like Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Zoology, Natural selection and Genetics. The majority of Evolutionary biology studies presented in the most cited papers zero in on Evolvability. The journal papers address concerns in the field of Ecology by exploring it in line with topics in Incipient speciation which intersect with Heteropatric speciation subjects.

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Gene

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Evolutionary biology, Zoology, Ecology (disciplines), Adaptation and Ecology are the subjects of interest in Evolutionary Biology-new York. The research on Evolutionary biology featured in the journal combines topics in other fields like Triturus, Evolutionary dynamics, Spatial ecology, Human genetics and Genetic divergence. The studies on Zoology discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of myr, Eumetazoa, Sponge and Nervous system.

Some problems in Ecology (disciplines) that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Organism, Evolutionary stability and Evolutionary invasion analysis. Adaptation research featured in Evolutionary Biology-new York incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Pollination, Pollinator, Arboreal locomotion, Niche differentiation and Inflorescence. The work on Ecology tackled in it brings together disciplines like Variation (linguistics) and Structural basin.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Why Clusters and Other Patterns Can Seem to be Found in Analyses of High-Dimensional Data (5 citations)
  • How Changes in Functional Demands Associated with Captivity Affect the Skull Shape of a Wild Boar ( Sus scrofa ) (4 citations)
  • Evolution of Cranial Ontogeny in South American Canids (Carnivora: Canidae) (3 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 Evolutionary Biology-new York (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Fred L. Bookstein (9 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition,
  • Dean C. Adams (9 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Pasquale Raia (8 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.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing in Evolutionary Biology-new York (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University of Calgary (25 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • University of Vienna (20 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • American Museum of Natural History (15 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,

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.

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, 8.57% 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 9.38% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 21.88% of all publications and 43.75% 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.
