The discussions in Herpetologica mainly cover the fields of Ecology, Zoology, Taxonomy (biology), Predation and Lizard. Habitat, Genus, Reproduction, Salamander and Larva are all aspects of Ecology discussed in Herpetologica. It explores topics in Zoology which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Phylogenetics and Anatomy.
The work on Anatomy presented in Herpetologica focuses on Dorsum in particular. In particular, the Taxonomy (biology) works presented emphasize discussions on Holotype. Specifically, studies on Predator are prevalent in the Predation works discussed.
The journal papers are mainly concerned with subjects like Ecology, Zoology, Predation, Reproduction and Lizard. The journal publications feature Ecology research that overlaps with concepts in Animal science. In addition to Zoology research, the journal papers aim to explore topics under Anatomy and Body size.
The journal aims to foster the development of research in Humanities, Ecology, Zoology, Genus and Predation. Humanities study tackled is connected to the field of Context (language use). The journal primarily discusses Ecology topics, particularly Niche, Plant litter, Salamander and Habitat.
The research on Zoology tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Threatened species and Body size. While Genus is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Species richness and Endemism. Predator is part of Predation studies tackled in Herpetologica.
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 Herpetologica (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 Herpetologica (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, 73.91% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 45.83% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.67% of all publications and 37.50% 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.

(2020)For students interested in Ecology and Evolution, exploring related online degrees can broaden career opportunities, especially in health and environmental sciences. For instance, pursuing an accredited online health information management degree cahiim offers a pathway into managing healthcare data, critical for research and public health initiatives linked to ecological studies.
Those looking to transition quickly into healthcare roles may consider accelerated nursing programs, which provide fast-tracked routes to becoming registered nurses. Nurses often work closely with environmental factors influencing patient health, tying back to evolutionary biology insights.
Certification also plays a significant role in medical careers associated with ecological health data. Understanding the distinction through medical billing and coding certification can enhance job prospects in healthcare administration and support services related to ecological impacts on community health.
Advanced practice nurses with expertise in family health can benefit from fnp programs. These programs often integrate health trends influenced by environmental factors, enriching the career scope for those passionate about Ecology and Evolution.
