Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Vector Ecology?

Ecology, Zoology, Vector (epidemiology), Larva and Aedes aegypti are among the topics commonly tackled in the journal. Journal of Vector Ecology explores research in Ecology and the adjacent study of Population density. It focuses on Zoology but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Tick and Anopheles.

While Vector (epidemiology) is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Malaria and Virology. The research on Larva tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Nymph and Predation. Aedes aegypti research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Toxicology and Dengue fever.

The studies on Toxicology discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Deltamethrin, Pesticide and Mosquito control. The journal features studies on Hemiptera, including topics such as Reduviidae. The journal connects research in Culex with the related topic of Culex quinquefasciatus.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Journal of Vector Ecology:

The journal papers primarily focus on research topics in Ecology, Aedes aegypti, Vector (epidemiology), Larva and Zoology. Issues in Aedes aegypti were discussed in the most cited publications, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Fecundity, Biopesticide, Toxicology and Dengue fever. The most cited papers address concerns in Zoology which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Chrysomya rufifacies and Tick, Virology.

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Zoology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Journal of Vector Ecology focuses on Zoology, Aedes albopictus, Vector (epidemiology), Culex and Instar. While it focused on Zoology, it was also able to explore topics like Dengue fever, Energy reserves, Seasonality and Body size. The work on Aedes albopictus tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Sugar, Range (biology), Fishery and Culex quinquefasciatus.

In Journal of Vector Ecology, Chikungunya, Dry season, Morphometric analysis and Temperate climate are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Vector (epidemiology) research. The Culex works featured in it incorporate elements from Intraspecific competition, Fauna and Genus. Research in the field of Ecology was used to conduct the presented Abundance (ecology) study.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • IN MEMORIAM Daniel A. Strickman 1953-2020 (2 citations)
  • Mosquito fauna in Extremadura (western Spain): Updated catalog with new records, distribution maps, and medical relevance (1 citations)
  • Invasive woody plants as foci of tick-borne pathogens: eastern redcedar in the southern Great Plains (1 citations)

Papers citation over time

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 Vector Ecology (based on the number of publications) are:

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, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 6.25% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 12.50% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.75% of all publications and 62.50% 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.
