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 journal aims to foster the development of research in Horticulture, Agronomy, Shoot, Crop and Cultivar. The concepts on Horticulture presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Photosynthesis and Antioxidant. The Photosynthesis study featured falls within the larger field of Botany.

The journal focuses on Agronomy but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Agriculture and Water content. Topics in Crop were tackled in line with various other fields like Weed, Seed treatment, Weed control, Yield (wine) and Abiotic component. It explores topics in Cultivar which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Stress (mechanics) and Triticale.

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, 11.29% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 36.36% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 27.27% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.00% of all publications and 16.36% 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 Plant Science and Agronomy, exploring related online degrees can open diverse career opportunities. Nutrition plays a vital role in sustainable agriculture and food security, making online degrees in nutrition a valuable complement to agronomy studies. These programs typically offer flexible pacing for students balancing other commitments.

Additionally, healthcare and environmental sciences often intersect. Hybrid programs like hybrid absn programs provide a pathway for non-nurses to accelerate their Bachelor of Science in Nursing degrees, which can be relevant for those interested in health-focused agricultural sectors.

Understanding timelines is essential for planning a career. For example, learning how long does it take to become a nurse practitioner helps students gauge the commitment required for advanced healthcare roles related to agronomy’s impact on community health.

Moreover, programs like the fastest rn to bsn program online offer accelerated degree options for registered nurses seeking to further their education quickly, which may enhance interdisciplinary expertise in agronomy and nutrition planning.
