Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Parasitology Research?

The aim of the journal is to expand the discussion of research in Veterinary medicine, Immunology, Malaria, Environmental health and Helminths. While Veterinary medicine is the focus of Journal of Parasitology Research, it also provided insights into the studies of Prevalence, Livestock, Feces and Infestation. While it focused on Immunology, it was also able to explore topics like Disease and Microbiology.

The studies on Malaria discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Internal medicine and Virology. The journal explores topics in Environmental health which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Logistic regression, Cross-sectional study, Ascaris lumbricoides and Health education, Public health. Trichuris trichiura is a key component of Ascaris lumbricoides research discussed in Journal of Parasitology Research.

The majority of Helminths studies presented zero in on Deworming. The journal dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Plasmodium falciparum and Traditional medicine.

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, 11.36% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 41.03% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 20.51% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.38% of all publications and 23.08% 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

Exploring Animal Science and Veterinary studies opens a variety of career pathways beyond traditional roles. For those interested in high-earning opportunities, it's worth reviewing the highest paying animal jobs. These careers often blend specialized animal knowledge with skills in research, healthcare, and management.

Additionally, health professions closely related to animal care can provide flexible, online education options. For example, nursing careers are growing, and programs such as the cheapest fastest RN to BSN online offer accelerated pathways that can complement veterinary interests.

For those aiming for advanced clinical or academic roles, pursuing a doctorate can be a strategic choice. The PhD in nursing programs highlight accessible options for earning a doctorate online, which may broaden career opportunities in animal and human health sectors.

Nutrition plays a critical role in both human and animal wellness. Students might also consider nutrition-focused advanced degrees; the dietitian master's programs showcase some of the best online options to develop expertise that can complement animal science knowledge.
