Overview

Top Research Topics at International Journal of Acarology?

International Journal of Acarology mostly deals with topics like Acari, Zoology, Botany, Ecology and Taxonomy (biology). Topics in Acari explored in International Journal of Acarology were investigated in conjunction with research in Phytoseiidae, Genus, Key (lock) and Mite. The journal connects the study in Phytoseiidae with the closely related area of Biological pest control.

The journal dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Mite and PEST analysis. The study of Zoology encompasses disciplines such as Larva, as well as fields such as Nymph, all of which overlap with one another. The journal focuses on Botany research which is adjacent to topics in Horticulture.

Topics like Oribatida, Tick, Fauna and Host (biology) are tackled as part of the discussions on Ecology. Presentations on Taxonomy (biology) include those discussing Holotype and Paratype. The journal investigates Seta research which frequently intersects with Anatomy.

  • Acari (74.87%)
  • Zoology (37.63%)
  • Botany (32.63%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Adult idiosomal setal patterns in the family Phytoseiidae (Acari: Gamasina) (189 citations)
  • A review of the subfamilies Phytoseiinae and Typhlodrominae (Acari: Phytoseiidae) (173 citations)
  • The genus Hyalomma Koch, 1844: v. re-evaluation of the taxonomic rank of taxa comprising the H. (Euhyalomma) marginatum koch complex of species (Acari: Ixodidae) with redescription of all parasitic stages and notes on biology (136 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at International Journal of Acarology:

The most cited publications investigate areas of study like Acari, Botany, Zoology, Phytoseiidae and Ecology. While Acari is the focus of the journal publications, it also provides insights into the studies of Taxonomy (biology), Amblyseius, Genus and Mite. The most cited papers address concerns in Botany which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Predation and Horticulture.

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 International Journal of Acarology (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Carlos H.W. Flechtmann (58 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Robert W. Husband (56 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Jay A. Yoder (43 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Sergey G. Ermilov (39 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Alireza Saboori (36 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than 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

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, 9.52% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 18.42% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.89% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 19.74% of all publications and 53.95% 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.
