The journal mainly deals with areas of study such as Demography, Fertility, Developing country, Socioeconomic status and Developed country. The Demography study tackling the subject of Mortality rate is the focus of Genus. Topics in Fertility were tackled in line with various other fields like Family planning, Total fertility rate, Socioeconomics and Demographic economics.
The research on Developing country featured in the journal combines topics in other fields like Population growth and Census. Socioeconomic status research presented in Genus encompasses a variety of subjects, including Social change, Marital status and Social class. Most of the works presented in Genus deals with Infant mortality but it intersects with the subject of Child mortality.
Genus blends together research topics in Research methodology and Theoretical models.
The published articles generally zeroe in on subjects such as Demography, Fertility, Developing country, Developed country and Socioeconomics. Mortality rate is a focus of the presented Demography works in the most cited publications and they dives deep in Mortality rate. While the most cited publications focused on Fertility, they were also able to explore topics like Birth order, Sample (statistics), Socioeconomic status and Marital status.
The main research concerns discussed in Genus are Pandemic, Demography, Fertility, Context (language use) and Demographic economics. The research on Demography tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Census and Time series. The work on Census tackled in it brings together disciplines like Economic geography, Borough and Scale (social sciences).
Some problems in Fertility that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Health survey, Consistency (negotiation), Public economics and Gender role. Genus focuses on Demographic economics but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Logistic regression, Risk of mortality, Social class, Qualitative research and Life course approach. The studies in Mortality rate featured incorporate elements of Convergence (economics), Life expectancy, Projections of population growth and Social group.
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 Genus (based on the number of publications) are:
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 Genus (based on the number of publications) are:
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.
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, 7.41% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 36.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 12.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 24.00% of all publications and 28.00% were from other institutions.
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.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
Aside from the areas mentioned above, substance abuse has become a growing area of focus in the field of sociology, demography, and socioeconomics in recent years. This is in line with the increasing awareness of societal issues caused by this condition. As a result, many professionals in these fields are shifting their work or research to tackle these problems. Substance abuse has been highlighted in many papers and reports as a major contributor to the growing mortality rate, particularly among teenagers in both developed and less-developed countries. It has also been linked to socioeconomic development issues, pointing out that poor economies make it challenging for individuals to resist drug misuse, consequently leading to high mortality rates. In these studies, substance abuse counselors play a crucial role in gathering data, administering treatment, and formulating societal plans to address these issues. This avenue of work offers exciting opportunities for passionate researchers who wish to make a difference. To explore how to get involved in this line of work, particularly in a specific state such as Nebraska, you may want to check our comprehensive guide How to become a substance abuse counselor in Nebraska. This guide will provide insights into the qualifications needed and the steps to take to start a career in this promising field.
