Overview

Top Research Topics at Herzogia?

Herzogia generally zeroes in on subjects such as Botany, Lichen, Ecology, Biodiversity and Taxonomy (biology). It tackles issues in Botany, particularly in the topics of Genus, Verrucaria, Arthonia, Thallus and Endococcus. The Lichen works featured in Herzogia incorporate elements from Taxon, Forestry and Key (lock).

Flora, Habitat, Moss, Epiphyte and Bryophyte are Ecology topics of special interest in Herzogia. The study on Taxonomy (biology) presented in it intersects with the topics under Phytogeography.

  • Botany (51.40%)
  • Lichen (38.60%)
  • Ecology (38.25%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • New species and new records of American lichenicolous fungi (88 citations)
  • Ökologische Zeigerwerte von Flechten — Erweiterte und Aktualisierte Fassung (60 citations)
  • New or interesting records of lichenicolous fungi from Poland VIII (57 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Herzogia:

The journal papers are mainly concerned with subjects like Botany, Lichen, Ecology, Arthonia and Taxonomy (biology). The works on Lichen tackled in the published papers bring together disciplines like Taxon, Systematics, Biodiversity and Endangered species. The published papers explore Ecology concepts, specifically Range (biology), Old-growth forest and Epiphyte but expand to research in Context (language use).

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Lichen

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The main research concerns discussed in Herzogia are Botany, Taxonomy (biology), Lichen, Ecology and Taxon. The journal focuses on Taxonomy (biology) but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Small subunit, Thallus, Lecideaceae and China. It tackles studies in Biota and the interrelated subject of Leptogium, Agonimia and Ecosystem to gain insights into Lichen.

The featured Ecology research zeroes in on concepts in Peninsula, Vegetation, Habitat and Ecological amplitude but also tackles themes under Tortula schimperi. While it focused on Taxon, it was also able to explore topics like Pyronemataceae, Pezizales, Phascum cuspidatum, Host (biology) and Tetraspora. In addition to Genus research, Herzogia aims to explore topics under Key (lock) and Biogeography.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Nine Micarea species new to Canada including five species new to North America (1 citations)
  • Range extension of two xerophytic mosses in China based on molecular and morphological data (1 citations)
  • Lichenicolous fungi from Vietnam, with the description of four new species (1 citations)

Papers citation over time

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 Herzogia (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Helmut Mayrhofer (24 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Wolfgang von Brackel (22 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition,
  • André Aptroot (20 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Frank Müller (20 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Harrie J. M. Sipman (20 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition.

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 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.

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, 97.50% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 100.00% 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 0.00% of all publications and 0.00% 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 students interested in Ecology and Evolution, exploring related online degrees can open up diverse career opportunities. Many degree programs focus on fields that intersect with environmental science, healthcare, and data management, all crucial for addressing ecological challenges.

Programs like the fastest online master's in healthcare administration offer an accelerated path for professionals aiming to manage healthcare systems that influence public health and environmental policies. Similarly, those interested in direct care and environmental health can consider one year nurse practitioner programs to quickly advance clinical skills.

Transitioning within nursing roles is also vital for career growth, as shown in pathways like fnp to acnp, which equips practitioners with acute care expertise, further benefiting community health initiatives linked to evolutionary and ecological conditions.

Additionally, careers in data and information management are becoming increasingly relevant. Entry-level roles are promising, with insights available into the health information management salary entry-level, reflecting a growing demand for professionals who can manage environmental and health data effectively.
