Research areas of the most cited articles at Horticultural Research (japan):

The most cited papers focus largely on the fields of Botany, Horticulture, Agronomy, Fruit development and Crop quality. Issues in Horticulture were discussed in the most cited papers, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Global warming, Sweetness and Sweetening. In addition to Agronomy research, the published articles aim to explore topics under Yield (chemistry) and Composition (visual arts).

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

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Ecology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The foci of the journal are Horticulture, Cultivar, Ripening, Selection (genetic algorithm) and Term (time). The study on Horticulture featured in the journal expounds on the topic of Germination in particular. While work presented in Horticultural Research (japan) provided substantial information on Cultivar, it also covered topics in Bulb, Identification (biology), Long day, Yield (engineering) and Crown (botany).

It addresses concerns in Selection (genetic algorithm) which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Variety (cybernetics) and Biotechnology. Freezing tolerance research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Sugar, PEAR, Xylem and Castanea crenata. The studies on Pollen discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Male fertility and Bouvardia.

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, 48.78% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 52.38% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 38.10% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 9.52% 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

Studying Plant Science and Agronomy opens doors to a variety of related online degrees and career opportunities. Many students explore programs that complement their agricultural knowledge, such as environmental health or nutrition, to broaden their expertise and job prospects.

When considering further education, comparing programs is essential. For example, understanding differences like those seen in capella vs chamberlain rn to bsn can help students identify institutions that offer flexible online formats and quality instruction. This comparison mindset applies to other fields as well.

Career paths linked to plant science sometimes overlap with health-related sectors, such as functional medicine. Knowing the functional medicine nurse salary can guide those interested in integrating plant-based approaches with healthcare careers.

Advanced degrees like the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) offer another avenue to expand professional credentials. Reviewing information on the dnp salary by state helps prospective students make informed decisions aligned with their financial and geographic preferences.

For those seeking accessible public health education, many students look into the easiest mph online programs to get into. These programs provide practical knowledge that complements agronomy expertise, supporting diverse and impactful career trajectories.
