Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Veterinary Science?

Virology, Internal medicine, Microbiology, Pathology and Molecular biology are among the topics commonly tackled in the journal. Journal of Veterinary Science emphasizes research on Virology, which includes concerns such as Virus. Journal of Veterinary Science explores issues in Internal medicine which can be linked to other research areas like Gastroenterology, Endocrinology and Cardiology.

The research on Microbiology tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Escherichia coli, Immune system and Virulence. The Immune system study featured falls within the wider field of Immunology. The Pathology research dealing mostly with Immunohistochemistry is the focus of Journal of Veterinary Science.

The presentations focused mostly on Gene in an attempt to further explore topics in Genetics.

Journal of Veterinary Science is organized to address concerns in the fields of Virology, Virus, Microbiology, Veterinary medicine and Immune system. The subject of Antibody, which is connected to the field of Western blot and Antigen, serves as the foundation of the Virology research featured in Journal of Veterinary Science. Journal of Veterinary Science explores topics in Virus which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Real-time polymerase chain reaction and Serology.

Most of the works presented in the journal deals with Microbiology but it intersects with the subject of Salmonella. Journal of Veterinary Science focuses on Veterinary medicine but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Polymerase chain reaction, Gene and Genotype. In it, researchers investigate the Immune system study as part of research in the field of Immunology.

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, 6.74% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 38.55% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 14.46% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 10.84% of all publications and 36.14% 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 passionate about working with animals, exploring careers with animals that pay well provides valuable insight into well-compensated roles. Animal Science and Veterinary studies form a solid base, but various other fields intersect with animal health and welfare.

Nursing is a vital component of animal and human healthcare. Programs like lvn to bsn programs allow licensed vocational nurses to advance their qualifications and expand their career opportunities. These pathways can be integral for those interested in veterinary nursing or related medical fields.

Advanced degrees also play a role in healthcare sciences. For instance, pursuing a phd in nursing opens doors to research, education, and leadership roles, which can complement veterinary and animal science careers focused on improving animal healthcare standards.

Nutrition is another critical field linked to animal science. Those interested in dietary aspects can consider dietitian graduate programs. Expertise in dietetics supports both human and animal wellness, making it a complementary study path for animal science professionals.
