Overview

Top Research Topics at Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences?

The journal focuses on Animal ecology, Fishery, Food science, Biochemistry and Animal science. The discussions emphasized the topic of Animal ecology in an attempt to further explore the field of Zoology. The study on Fishery presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Oceanography.

The research on Food science featured in it combines topics in other fields like Botany and Fatty acid. The work on Biochemistry addressed in the journal expands to the thematically related Chromatography. Some problems in Animal science that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Juvenile, Olive flounder, Weight gain, Feed conversion ratio and Paralichthys.

The works on Feed conversion ratio deal in particular with Protein efficiency ratio. It connects the study in Paralichthys with the closely related area of Flounder.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences:

The journal papers are organized to address concerns in the fields of Animal ecology, Food science, Botany, Biochemistry and Hydrolysate. The most cited papers explore topics in Animal ecology which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Shrimp, Litopenaeus, Toxicology, Algae and Animal science. Issues in Food science were discussed in the journal papers, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Olive flounder, Paralichthys, Antioxidant and Lysozyme.

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

  • Enzyme
  • Ecology
  • Gene

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences generally zeroes in on subjects such as Zoology, Food science, Fishery, Olive flounder and Bay. While Zoology is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Scorpaeniformes, Abalone, Haliotis discus and Blood chemistry. It facilitates discussions on Food science that incorporate concepts from other fields like Antioxidant, Sperm motility, Cryopreservation, Cryoprotective Agent and Hydrolysate.

Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences connects research in Fishery with the related topic of Tetraodontiformes. The close relationship between Paralichthys and Food poisoning and Oxygen is one of the points of interest dissected in Olive flounder research. Research in the field of Biochemistry was used to conduct the presented Enzyme study.

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, 96.67% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 0.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 100.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 0.00% 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.

Future Research Opportunities and Career Pathways

With a strong understanding of the research topics and widely-cited papers in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, it's also crucial to acknowledge the future research opportunities this field presents. As our understanding of marine life and their ecosystems expands, new avenues for exploration arise. This includes areas like marine biotechnology, fish disease and health, seafood safety and quality, climate change’s effect on fishery, and sustainable aquaculture.

Additionally, careers for professionals in this field are as diverse as the research topics covered in this journal. These careers might begin with obtaining pertinent certification. For instance, potential occupations encompass marine biologists, fisheries biologists, aquatic scientists, water quality technicians, oceanographers, fish and wildlife wardens, and educators in these specialized areas, to name a few.

It’s also beneficial to highlight the role of education and preparation to make the most of the opportunities in this scientific field. Hence, if you wish to delve deeper into the healthcare sector, consider pursuing medical certification tailored to your career aspirations. To provide an example, medical assistant certification in Utah exemplifies the type of tailored educational program you might seek. On the whole, affiliations with recognized institutions and pursuing relevant certifications can place you in an advantageous position in the field of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences.
