Overview

Top Research Topics at Invertebrate Reproduction & Development?

Invertebrate Reproduction & Development mainly tackles studies in Zoology, Ecology, Anatomy, Larva and Cell biology. Zoology research featured in Invertebrate Reproduction & Development incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Sexual maturity, Botany and Sex ratio. While Invertebrate Reproduction & Development focused on Ecology, it was also able to explore topics like Fecundity, Reproductive biology and Gonad.

Aside from discussions in Anatomy, it also deals with the subject of Sperm which intersects with Human fertilization disciplines. Topics like Metamorphosis and Instar are tackled as part of the discussions on Larva. Invertebrate Reproduction & Development encompasses presentations on Cell biology, specifically Oocyte and Cytoplasm.

The study on Oocyte presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Endocrinology. The journal focuses on Ultrastructure but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Flagellum and Nucleus. The journal addresses concerns in Vitellogenesis which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Oogenesis and Yolk.

Invertebrate Reproduction & Development focuses largely on the fields of Zoology, Larva, Crustacean, Reproduction and Decapoda. Aeglidae is a major topic of Zoology research presented in Invertebrate Reproduction & Development. Invertebrate Reproduction & Development tackles research in Dendraster excentricus as part of the general discipline of Larva, however, it also discusses concepts in Bisphenol A.

The Crustacean works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Plankton, Fecundity and Aquaculture. The work on Reproduction tackled in it brings together disciplines like Clitellata, Marine ecosystem and Genus. The featured works in Macrobrachium acanthurus and Palaemonidae, which all belong in the domain if Decapoda, also overlaps with concepts under Chionoecetes japonicus and Majoidea.

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, 9.52% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 31.58% 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 10.53% of all publications and 57.89% 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

For students interested in Ecology and Evolution, exploring related online degrees can broaden career opportunities. Programs like the fastest online master's in healthcare management offer a swift path to leadership roles in environmental health and resource management sectors.

Those looking to specialize in applied biology fields can consider accelerated options such as a 12 month fnp program online. These programs develop clinical skills that overlap with ecological health assessments and bio-surveillance.

Additionally, transitioning career pathways is common. For example, professionals moving from an FNP to acute care roles can gain skills relevant to environmental emergencies, as outlined in the guide on fnp to acute care np.

Lastly, evolving data and sustainability needs increase demand for environmental data specialists. Careers like health information managers offer strong salary prospects and growth, detailed in the article about health information manager salary.
