Overview

Top Research Topics at Indian Journal of Agronomy?

The journal is mainly concerned with subjects like Agronomy, Field experiment, Sowing, Forensic science and Crop yield. Studies on Agronomy discussed in it link to the field of Nutrient. Topics in Field experiment explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Animal science, Yield (wine), Straw and Irrigation.

Issues in Sowing were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Dry matter and Cultivar. Forensic science research discussed connects with the study of Brassica. Indian Journal of Agronomy holds forums on Crop yield that merges themes from other disciplines such as Intercropping and Plant nutrition.

The presented research on Weed control deals specifically with Weed but it also addresses topics in Dry weight. It explores issues in Fertilizer which can be linked to other research areas like Nutrient management and Randomized block design. The majority of Crop studies are focused on the issues of Cropping system.

Indian Journal of Agronomy focuses on Agronomy, Field experiment, Sowing, Yield (wine) and Crop. Indian Journal of Agronomy focuses on different Agronomy studies like Fertilizer, Kharif crop, Straw, Irrigation and Randomized block design. In it, Nutrient and Tillage are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Fertilizer research.

The Field experiment works featured in it incorporate elements from Productivity (ecology), Vigna, Zea mays and Stover. Indian Journal of Agronomy facilitates discussions on Sowing that incorporate concepts from other fields like Cultivar, Dry matter, Soil fertility, Geometry and Fodder. The overlapping concepts between Crop yield and Trichoderma, Subtropics, Chart and Crop residue are the key highlights of Crop study.

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 Indian Journal of Agronomy (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Punjab Agricultural University (1 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 2020 edition, 100.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, nan% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another nan% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included nan% of all publications and nan% 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.
