The scientific interests tackled in Harmful Algae are Algal bloom, Ecology, Botany, Dinoflagellate and Bloom. The subject of Domoic acid, which is connected to the field of Amnesic shellfish poisoning, serves as the foundation of the Algal bloom research featured in the journal. As a part of the journal, discussions in Ecology involve topics like Phytoplankton, Eutrophication, Plankton, Benthic zone and Abundance (ecology).
The overlapping concepts between Diatom and Pseudo-nitzschia are the key highlights of Phytoplankton study. While the journal focused on Botany, it was also able to explore topics like Cyanobacteria, Toxin, Phylogenetics and Nutrient. The studies in Dinoflagellate featured incorporate elements of Zoology, Microbiology, Alexandrium catenella, Paralytic shellfish poisoning and Dinophyceae.
Most of the works presented in it deals with Zoology but it intersects with the subject of Shellfish. The journal covers Bloom research under the subject of Oceanography. Most of the Algae studies addressed also intersect with Aquatic plant.
The most cited articles are mainly concerned with subjects like Ecology, Algal bloom, Botany, Dinoflagellate and Algae. The most cited publications hold forums on Algal bloom that merge themes from other disciplines such as Fishery and Red tide. The Botany research tackled in the journal papers is interrelated with Shellfish which concerns subjects like Bivalvia.
The aim of the journal is to expand the discussion of research in Algal bloom, Zoology, Dinoflagellate, Fishery and Shellfish. Issues in Algal bloom were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Saxitoxin, Domoic acid, Eutrophication and Aquaculture. The featured Eutrophication research is covered under the field of Ecology.
The research on Dinoflagellate tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Phytoplankton, Akashiwo sanguinea, Allelopathy, Karenia mikimotoi and Acclimatization. While Fishery is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Red tide and Shellfish poisoning. While the primary focus in it is Toxin, it also dissects topics surrounding Botany and Microcystin as a whole.
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 Harmful Algae (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 Harmful Algae (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, 2.94% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 40.40% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.08% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 21.21% of all publications and 30.30% 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.
