Overview

Top Research Topics at Lake and Reservoir Management?

Lake and Reservoir Management mainly deals with areas of study such as Hydrology, Water quality, Eutrophication, Ecology and Phosphorus. The journal focuses on Hydrology but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Hypolimnion, Sediment, Nutrient and Chlorophyll a. Phytoplankton is a key component of Nutrient research discussed in the journal.

It addresses concerns in Phytoplankton which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Biomass (ecology) and Oceanography. In addition to Water quality research, it aims to explore topics under Water pollution, Environmental engineering and Surface runoff. The studies in Eutrophication featured incorporate elements of Algal bloom, Water column and Paleolimnology.

The journal focuses on Ecology research which is adjacent to topics in Fishery. Bass (fish) is part of Fishery studies tackled in it. It facilitates discussions on Phosphorus that incorporate concepts from other fields like Tributary, Alum, Total phosphorus, Environmental chemistry and Animal science.

  • Hydrology (47.79%)
  • Water quality (25.93%)
  • Eutrophication (20.55%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Trophic State of Clear and Colored, Soft- and Hardwater Lakes with Special Consideration of Nutrients, Anoxia, Phytoplankton and Fish (292 citations)
  • Landsat-based Remote Sensing of Lake Water Quality Characteristics, Including Chlorophyll and Colored Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) (193 citations)
  • Internal Phosphorus Loading in Shallow Lakes: Importance and Control (169 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Lake and Reservoir Management:

The most cited articles primarily focus on research topics in Hydrology, Eutrophication, Water quality, Phosphorus and Nutrient. The most cited articles explore topics in Hydrology which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Trophic level, Sediment, Water column, Total phosphorus and Hypolimnion. While work presented in the most cited articles provide substantial information on Eutrophication, it also covers topics in Environmental chemistry, Watershed and Limnology.

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Wetland

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal primarily tackles Eutrophication, Oceanography, Phosphorus, Hydrology and Ecology. Topics in Eutrophication were tackled in line with various other fields like Game fish, Dredging, Water resource management, Land reclamation and Trophic level. Shore research are fields of study within Oceanography but they also intertwine with concepts in Attraction.

The journal holds forums on Phosphorus that merges themes from other disciplines such as Soil science, Sediment and Fish stocking. The overlapping concepts between Nutrient and Water quality are the key highlights of Hydrology study. Calidris, Sandpiper and Macrophyte are all disciplines of Ecology that connect with topics in Rotenone.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Trends in submersed aquatic plant communities in a large, inland lake: impacts of an invasion by starry stonewort (Nitellopsis obtusa) (4 citations)
  • Low sediment redox promotes cyanobacteria blooms across a trophic range: implications for management (2 citations)
  • Restoration of Lake Okeechobee, Florida: mission impossible? (2 citations)

Papers citation over time

  • University of Minnesota (34 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition,
  • Washington State University (28 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition.

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.

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, 6.90% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 37.04% 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 3.70% of all publications and 59.26% 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.
