Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Silviculture and Forest Ecology?

Journal of Silviculture and Forest Ecology focuses on Forestry, Silviculture, Forest management, Forest ecology and Climate change. In addition to Forestry research, Journal of Silviculture and Forest Ecology aims to explore topics under Coppicing and Ecology, Biodiversity. Vegetation and Habitat are all aspects of Ecology discussed in it.

Journal of Silviculture and Forest Ecology encompasses Silviculture studies in the context of Agroforestry as a whole. In it, Kyoto Protocol, Greenhouse gas and Environmental resource management are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Forest management research. Environmental resource management study tackled is connected to the field of Ecosystem services.

Journal of Silviculture and Forest Ecology focused on Climate change research but expanded to cover Environmental protection.

  • Forestry (58.06%)
  • Silviculture (15.77%)
  • Forest management (15.05%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The aim of Journal of Silviculture and Forest Ecology is to expand the discussion of research in Ecosystem services, Climate change, Agroforestry, Environmental resource management and Sustainable forest management. It holds forums on Climate change that merges themes from other disciplines such as Biodiversity, Competition (biology), Functional diversity, Silviculture and Mediterranean climate. Agroforestry research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Carbon sequestration, Ecosystem and Sustainable management.

The study on Environmental resource management presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Forest harvesting. It deals with Forest harvesting in conjunction with Data collection system and similar fields in Forest inventory. Topics in Forest inventory explored in Journal of Silviculture and Forest Ecology were investigated in conjunction with research in Remote sensing (archaeology), Remote sensing, Obstacle and Forest ecology.

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

For those interested in Ecology and Evolution, related career paths often intersect with broader health and environmental sciences. Exploring an accredited online health information management degree cahiim can open doors to managing health data crucial for environmental health studies. This field blends technology with biological research, making it valuable for ecologists focused on ecosystem impacts on human health.

Alternatively, students without previous nursing experience may consider accelerated options like accelerated bsn programs for non nurses to quickly enter healthcare roles that contribute to community well-being and conservation efforts. These programs provide a fast track into nursing, complementing ecosystem and public health knowledge.

Certification options such as the certified professional coder (cpc) credential offer alternative career pathways. This certification is important for handling medical records related to ecological research and health studies, ensuring precise data coding and management.

For advanced practitioners, pursuing the fastest post master's fnp certificate can lead to family nurse practitioner roles with a focus on environmental health. These programs are designed for quick completion, enabling professionals to impact both patient care and ecological health outcomes.
