Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Applied Animal Research?

Animal science, Food science, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Broiler are among the topics commonly tackled in the journal. It facilitates discussions on Animal science that incorporate concepts from other fields like Veterinary medicine, Body weight, Feed conversion ratio and Agronomy. The Feed conversion ratio study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Weight gain.

The Agronomy research presented places emphasis on topics like Straw and Forage. The Food science works, particularly on Meal are tackled in Journal of Applied Animal Research. The Dry matter study featured in it draws connections with the study of Rumen.

Rumen research presented falls under the umbrella topic of Fermentation.

  • Animal science (36.66%)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Ecology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Journal of Applied Animal Research focuses on Animal science, Food science, Milk yield, Nutrient digestibility and Meal. It is focused mainly on Animal science, particularly Feedlot. The concepts on Food science presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Antioxidant, Dietary supplementation, Yeast, Ionophore and Bacillus licheniformis.

The subject of Semen quality, which is connected to the field of Body weight, serves as the foundation of the Antioxidant research featured in it. The journal holds forums on Milk yield that merges themes from other disciplines such as Ice calving, Milk production and Somatic cell. While work presented in Journal of Applied Animal Research provided substantial information on Meal, it also covered topics in Broiler, By-product and Dietary fibre.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Effects of live yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) as a substitute to antibiotic on growth performance, immune function, serum biochemical parameters and intestinal morphology of broilers (3 citations)
  • Effect of dietary supplemental vitamin C and zinc sulfate on productive performance, egg quality traits and blood parameters of laying hens reared under cold stress condition (1 citations)
  • Effects of a blend of cinnamaldehyde-eugenol and capsicum (Xtract® Ruminant 7065) and ionophore on performance of finishing Holstein steers and on characteristics of ruminal and total tract digestion (1 citations)

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, 9.80% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 10.87% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 2.17% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.22% of all publications and 71.74% 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.
