The primary areas of discussion in Journal of Plankton Research are Ecology, Oceanography, Phytoplankton, Plankton and Zooplankton. Research on Ecology addressed in it frequently intersections with the field of Zoology. Journal of Plankton Research explores topics in Oceanography which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Abundance (ecology) and Fishery.
The research on Phytoplankton tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Bloom, Chlorophyll a, Environmental chemistry and Algae. Algae research discussed in it aim to provide more information in the subject of Botany. The work on Botany addressed in the journal expands to the thematically related Cyanobacteria.
The study on Plankton presented in the journal intersects with subjects under the field of Trophic level. Journal of Plankton Research focuses on Zooplankton but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Pelagic zone and Seasonality. The main emphasis of Journal of Plankton Research is the subject of Crustacean, focusing on Cladocera.
The main points discussed in the published articles deal with Ecology, Oceanography, Phytoplankton, Plankton and Zooplankton. In addition to Oceanography research, the journal publications aim to explore topics under Fishery and Mediterranean sea. The studies on Phytoplankton discussed at the published articles can also contribute to research in the domains of Diatom, Bloom, Chlorophyll a and Algae.
The journal focuses largely on the fields of Ecology, Oceanography, Zooplankton, Phytoplankton and Plankton. It covers various topics on Ecology such as Biomass (ecology), Predation, Trophic level, Abiotic component and Ecosystem. The research on Predation featured in it combines topics in other fields like Tuna, Fishery and Larva.
Studies on Oceanography discussed in the journal link to the field of Abundance (ecology). The study on Zooplankton presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Calanus. The work on Phytoplankton tackled in Journal of Plankton Research brings together disciplines like Environmental chemistry and Biogeochemical cycle.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Journal of Plankton Research (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Journal of Plankton Research (based on the number of publications) are:
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.
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, 3.95% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 13.70% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 16.44% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.44% of all publications and 53.42% were from other institutions.
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.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2021)Pursuing a degree in Environmental Sciences opens a wide range of career possibilities, both in the public and private sectors. Many students choose to enhance their knowledge with specialized online programs. For instance, those interested in the intersection of psychology and environmental issues may explore affordable options through an online masters psychology degree. This can be useful for understanding human behavior in environmental contexts.
There is also demand for professionals with combined expertise, such as those holding a degree in elementary education and environmental science. To learn more about potential job roles, visiting resources covering jobs with elementary education and environmental science degree can offer valuable insights.
For those interested in applying technical skills to solve environmental challenges, an environmental engineer degree online could provide essential training while allowing for flexible study schedules.
Lastly, accelerated programs like the 5 year accelerated speech pathology programs can appeal to students aiming to enter specialized healthcare roles related to environmental health issues more quickly.
