Overview

Top Research Topics at International Journal of Pest Management?

The journal investigates areas of study like Agronomy, Horticulture, Botany, PEST analysis and Integrated pest management. Crop, Weed, Weed control, Sowing and Infestation are all areas of Agronomy tackled in International Journal of Pest Management. International Journal of Pest Management focuses on Horticulture as well as the interrelated topic of Poaceae.

The research on Poaceae discussed in the journal draws on the closely related field of Oryza sativa. Presentations on Botany include those discussing Biological pest control, Larva and Homoptera. It holds forums on PEST analysis that merges themes from other disciplines such as Pest control, Ecology, Lepidoptera genitalia, Agroforestry and Toxicology.

Noctuidae and Pyralidae are some of the facets of Lepidoptera genitalia tackled in International Journal of Pest Management.

  • Agronomy (38.23%)
  • Horticulture (32.37%)

Research areas of the most cited articles at International Journal of Pest Management:

The main points discussed in the published papers deal with Agronomy, Horticulture, Integrated pest management, PEST analysis and Botany. Pest control, Agroforestry, Pesticide and Agriculture are some topics wherein Integrated pest management research discussed in the published papers has an impact. The most cited articles focus on PEST analysis but sometimes tackle the closely related topic of Toxicology which is concerned with Pesticide resistance and Azadirachta.

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Horticulture

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

International Journal of Pest Management tackles a plethora of topics, such as Agronomy, Horticulture, Lepidoptera genitalia, PEST analysis and Botany. Concepts in Insect, as well as related topics in Aphid and Resistance (ecology), are covered in the Agronomy research presented in International Journal of Pest Management. Most of the Horticulture studies addressed also intersect with Essential oil.

The concepts on PEST analysis presented in International Journal of Pest Management can also apply to other research fields, including Integrated pest management, Hemiptera, Agroforestry and Crop.

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, 11.25% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 14.08% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 4.23% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 21.13% of all publications and 60.56% 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 Ecology and Evolution opens doors to diverse career options, often requiring specialized education and credentials. Many students seek flexible and accessible degree programs, which has led to a rise in online offerings. For those looking to complement their scientific knowledge with leadership skills, exploring healthcare administration majors online can be a strategic choice, especially given growing environmental health concerns.

Prospective students may face challenges such as demanding entrance exams. However, some institutions ease the admission process by offering no entrance exam nursing schools, providing smoother pathways into related healthcare fields. Similarly, for those interested in advanced practice nursing roles, understanding the landscape of easiest dnp program options can help balance rigorous training with personal commitments.

Entry-level opportunities may be more accessible through the easiest rn program to get into, which can serve as a stepping stone toward specialized ecological and healthcare roles. Navigating these educational paths thoughtfully is crucial for building a career that intersects ecological knowledge with real-world health and administrative expertise.
