The journal mostly deals with topics like Economic growth, Rural area, Agriculture, Context (language use) and Economy. While the journal focused on Economic growth, it was also able to explore topics like Government, Development economics, Corporate governance and Rural economics. In addition to Rural area research, it aims to explore topics under Rural sociology, Gender studies and Socioeconomics.
The research on Agriculture featured in it combines topics in other fields like Marketing, Sustainability and Agricultural economics. It explores research in Economy and the adjacent study of Politics.
The most cited publications are organized to reinforce research efforts on Economic growth, Rural area, Agriculture, Rural sociology and Economy. The study of Economic growth in the journal papers encompasses disciplines such as Sustainability, as well as fields such as Sustainable development, all of which overlap with one another. The most cited articles facilitate discussions on Rural area that incorporate concepts from other fields like Social science, Gender studies and Economic geography.
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 Rural Studies (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 Rural Studies (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, 9.15% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 12.23% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.19% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.83% of all publications and 64.75% 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.
The Journal of Rural Studies welcomes new minds and fresh perspectives from researchers globally. Those interested in contributing to our journal will need to abide by our guidelines for publication. To publish with us, researchers must first ensure that their study falls within the scope of the journal. Broad topics include Economic Growth, Rural Areas, Agriculture, and Socioeconomics. However, we encourage inter-disciplinary research that combines these areas with other relevant fields. For new researchers seeking understanding of what is required in their studies, our most cited papers can provide an excellent point of reference. We recommend going through each paper to gain insight into how to carry out a study that contributes significantly to the discipline. Additionally, learning about the top authors and their contributions could be just what new contributors need to get started. It is also essential to understand the impact that your research could have in the field. Our Papers citation over time section provides a perspective on how well received a paper is after publication. Through this, contributors get a sense of how to increase the potential impact of their studies. Finally, it is key for all researchers to understand the requirements needed to qualify as a contributor to the journal. These requirements vary from journal to journal, as well as by the specific research field. For those interested in the fields of mental health counseling, specifically in a rural context, you may consult the Mental health counselor requirements in North Carolina for a detailed guideline. Every potential contributor is a valuable addition to our academic community, and we look forward to receiving fresh insights that would shape the future of rural studies research.
