Overview

Top Research Topics at Indian journal of agricultural research?

The journal focuses largely on the fields of Horticulture, Agronomy, Veterinary medicine, Forensic science and Non-invasive ventilation. The study on Horticulture presented in Indian journal of agricultural research intersects with subjects under the field of Botany. Research on Agronomy addressed in it frequently intersections with the field of Nutrient.

The studies on Veterinary medicine discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Field experiment, Fertilizer, Hybrid, Genotype and Animal science. Heterosis is a major topic of Hybrid research presented in it. Forensic science research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Insomnia and Heritability.

The study of Agriculture serves as the foundation of the Non-invasive ventilation research discussed in Indian journal of agricultural research. Topics in Agriculture were tackled in line with various other fields like Productivity, Biotechnology and Agricultural science. The journal focuses on Germination as well as the interrelated topic of Seedling.

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 Indian journal of agricultural research (based on the number of publications) are:

  • M. Prakash (11 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • D. R. Mehta (11 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • B.K. Mohanty (7 papers) absent at the last edition,

  • University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad (34 papers) absent at the last edition.

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, 94.12% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 10.00% 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 40.00% of all publications and 50.00% 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.
