Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of the Kansas Entomological Society?

Journal of the Kansas Entomological Society facilitates discussions on Zoology, Ecology, Hymenoptera, Botany and Genus. Many of the studies tackled connect Zoology with a similar field of study like Larva. Taxonomy (biology), Fauna, Habitat and Predation are all subfields of Ecology research that were featured in Journal of the Kansas Entomological Society.

Hymenoptera research featured in Journal of the Kansas Entomological Society incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Megachilidae and Nest. The work tackled in it goes beyond the discipline of Botany as it also encompasses Horticulture. It focused on Genus research but expanded to cover Key (lock).

  • Zoology (36.65%)
  • Ecology (32.92%)
  • Hymenoptera (28.25%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Estimation of bee size using intertegular span (Apoidea) (212 citations)
  • A Comparison of Pan Trap and Intensive Net Sampling Techniques for Documenting a Bee (Hymenoptera: Apiformes) Fauna (188 citations)
  • POLYGYNY AND THE EVOLUTION OF SOCIAL BEHAVIOR IN WASPS (166 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Journal of the Kansas Entomological Society:

The journal publications are organized to address concerns in the fields of Ecology, Zoology, Hymenoptera, Nest and Botany. The most cited articles with studies in Zoology featured incorporate elements of Centris and Larva. While work presented in the most cited papers provide substantial information on Hymenoptera, it also covers topics in Megachilidae and Nesting (computing).

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Botany

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal focuses on Zoology, Ecology, Horticulture, Larva and Aphid. The concepts on Zoology presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Anthrenus pimpinellae, Dermestidae and Anthrenus. Aside from Ecology, the journal also covered works in the field of Cannabis sativa.

The Harvest time studies presented in Journal of the Kansas Entomological Society fall under the field of Horticulture, but it also has connections to other fields such as Grafting. The study of Hymenoptera serves as the foundation of the Nomada research discussed in Journal of the Kansas Entomological Society. Aside from discussions in Hymenoptera, the journal also deals with the subject of Nest which intersects with Predation disciplines.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Seasonal Variations in Nutritional Composition of Honeybee Pollen Loads (4 citations)
  • Effect of Harvest Time on Royal Jelly Yield and Chemical Composition (2 citations)
  • A Survey of the Arthropod Fauna Associated with Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) Grown in Eastern Colorado (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, 6.67% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 35.71% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.14% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 35.71% of all publications and 21.43% 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 those interested in Ecology and Evolution, expanding your educational background with related online degrees can open diverse career opportunities. Programs like the fastest online master's in healthcare administration provide a strong foundation in managing healthcare services, a field increasingly emphasizing environmental health and sustainability.

Nursing professionals may consider advancing through specialized programs such as the 1 year np program, which accelerates the path to becoming a family nurse practitioner with a focus on community and environmental factors affecting patient care.

Career shifts are also common, with some exploring how to transition from a family nurse practitioner (FNP) to more specialized roles. Learning about fnp to acute care np can guide healthcare professionals seeking to impact critical care settings, where ecological and evolutionary principles influence disease management and patient outcomes.

Beyond clinical roles, careers in administrative and data management, like healthcare information management, offer promising salary and growth potential. Understanding the healthcare information management salary and career paths is crucial for those wanting to combine ecological knowledge with health data analytics and policy development.
