Overview

Top Research Topics at Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution?

The concepts of Botany, Genetic diversity, Germplasm, Agriculture and Agronomy are tackled in the journal. The Botany works featured in Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution incorporate elements from Domestication, RAPD and Horticulture. Genetics, Genetic marker, Microsatellite, Allele and Genetic variation are some topics wherein Genetic diversity research discussed in Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution have an impact.

The journal primarily discusses Genetics topics, particularly Gene, Genome and Phylogenetic tree. The research on Allele discussed in it draws on the closely related field of Locus (genetics). Genetic distance and Genetic structure are some of the facets of Genetic variation tackled in it.

Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution explores issues in Germplasm which can be linked to other research areas like Genetic variability, UPGMA, Genotype, Biotechnology and Gene pool. While Agriculture is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Agroforestry, Ethnobotany, Genetic erosion and Crop. Plant breeding is a primary topic of Agronomy research in the journal.

  • Botany (47.70%)
  • Genetic diversity (33.07%)
  • Germplasm (30.31%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • A short review of the fruit germplasm resources of Turkey (237 citations)
  • Conservation of the genetic variation of Triticum tauschii (Coss.) Schmalh. (Aegilops squarrosa auct. non L.) in synthetic hexaploid wheats (T. turgidum L. s.lat. X T. tauschii; 2 n = 6x = 42, AABBDD) and its potential utilization for wheat improvement (223 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution:

The journal papers are organized to reinforce research efforts on Botany, Genetic diversity, Germplasm, Cultivar and Agronomy. The journal articles focus on Botany but sometimes tackle the closely related topic of RAPD which is concerned with Genetic distance, Genetics and Genetic structure. While Agronomy is the focus of the journal papers, it also provides insights into the studies of Agriculture and Plant physiology.

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Horticulture

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The topics of Genetic diversity, Horticulture, Germplasm, Agriculture and Crop are the focal point of discussions in Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution. Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution addresses concerns in Genetic diversity which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Evolutionary biology, Genetic variability, Genetic variation and Allele. Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution explores research in Genotype and overlapping concepts in Microsatellite to expand the discourse in Horticulture.

The concepts on Germplasm presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Molecular marker, Biotechnology, Introgression, Diversity index and UPGMA. The Hybrid study featured falls within the wider field of Botany. Botany research is the primary subject tackled in it with a focus on Taxon.

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, 13.89% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 24.60% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.47% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 10.48% of all publications and 56.45% 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.
