Journal of Tropical Ecology generally zeroes in on subjects such as Ecology, Botany, Rainforest, Habitat and Agronomy. Species richness, Abundance (ecology), Tropics, Species diversity and Canopy are all aspects of Ecology research featured in the journal. Species richness study tackled is connected to the field of Biodiversity.
Understory and Tree canopy are all topics related to Canopy research discussed. In it, Seed dispersal and Horticulture are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Botany research. The in-depth study on Seed dispersal also explores topics in the intersecting field of Predation.
The studies on Rainforest discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Old-growth forest, Agroforestry, Forestry and Frugivore. Discussions in it are anchored in the subject of Habitat and the similar topic of Vegetation. The journal focuses on Agronomy but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Dry season, Soil water and Nutrient, Plant litter.
The most cited papers explore disciplines such as Ecology, Rainforest, Tropics, Botany and Agronomy. The most cited articles focus on Rainforest but sometimes tackle the closely related topic of Old-growth forest which is concerned with Secondary forest. The Botany research presented in the most cited publications focuses mostly on Seed dispersal and, on occasion, topics in Predation.
The objective of the journal is to combine knowledge in the areas of Ecology, Species richness, Biodiversity, Abundance (ecology) and Habitat. The research on Ecology discussed in the journal draws on the closely related field of Population density. Research in National park and the interrelating topic of Arboreal locomotion, Fauna and Cloud forest were among the subjects of interest in the Species richness studies discussed in it.
It explores topics in Biodiversity which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Forest structure, Disturbance (ecology), Natural regeneration, Python (genus) and Millipede. It holds forums on Abundance (ecology) that merges themes from other disciplines such as Range (biology), Epiphyte, Predator, Plant litter and Fern. The research on Habitat tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Morning, Oophaga and Interspecific competition.
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 Tropical Ecology (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 Tropical Ecology (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, 37.84% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 8.70% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 21.74% of all publications and 69.57% 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.

(2020)For students interested in Plant Science and Agronomy, exploring related online degree programs in nutrition can open up diverse career opportunities. A masters degree in nutrition offers advanced knowledge on the connection between plants, food systems, and human health—key areas for sustainable agriculture and food security careers.
At the undergraduate level, pursuing a nutritionist degree online provides a strong foundation in nutritional science, complementing agronomic expertise by understanding how crops contribute to nutritional outcomes.
Cost is often a deciding factor, and identifying the nutritionist degree programs with affordable tuition can make higher education accessible while maintaining quality and accreditation.
Additionally, if you're looking to complete your studies efficiently, exploring online nutrition degree options can accelerate your entry into the workforce or enhance your current role in agriculture and food industries.
