Overview

Top Research Topics at International Journal of Agronomy?

The journal is mainly concerned with subjects like Agronomy, Yield (wine), Cultivar, Crop and Sowing. Most of the works presented in International Journal of Agronomy deals with Agronomy but it intersects with the subject of Soil water. The Soil water research dealing mostly with Soil fertility is the focus of the journal.

The journal explores topics in Yield (wine) which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Productivity (ecology), Hybrid and Irrigation. The research on Fertilizer tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Nutrient and Nitrogen.

  • Agronomy (97.57%)
  • Yield (wine) (15.79%)
  • Cultivar (14.17%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Advances in Agronomic Management of Indian Mustard (Brassica juncea (L.) Czernj. Cosson): An Overview (112 citations)
  • Phosphate Solubilizing Microorganisms: Promising Approach as Biofertilizers (87 citations)
  • Climate Change and Sugarcane Production: Potential Impact and Mitigation Strategies (80 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at International Journal of Agronomy:

The journal publications primarily tackle Agronomy, Cultivar, Crop, Botany and Nitrogen fixation. Topics like Dry weight, Sowing, Randomized block design, Crop yield and Shoot are tackled as part of the discussions on Agronomy in the published papers. While work presented in the journal papers provide substantial information on Cultivar, it also covers topics in Quality (business), Panicle, Cold stress and Abiotic component.

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agriculture

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal primarily focuses on research topics in Agronomy, Randomized block design, Crop, Yield (wine) and Sowing. The study of Agronomy encompasses disciplines such as Horticulture, as well as fields such as Water content, all of which overlap with one another. Issues in Randomized block design were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Yield (chemistry), Irrigation, Interaction, Main effect and Animal science.

The close relationship between Cultivar and Food security is one of the points of interest dissected in Crop research. The studies in Yield (wine) featured incorporate elements of Field experiment, Mushroom, Productivity (ecology), Grain yield and Genetic gain. The journal facilitates discussions on Sowing that incorporate concepts from other fields like Hectare, Forage and Dry weight.

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, 23.29% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 10.71% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 30.36% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.50% of all publications and 46.43% 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.
