Overview

Top Research Topics at Landscape Research?

The main research concerns discussed in Landscape Research are Environmental resource management, Ecology, Environmental ethics, Environmental planning and Archaeology. In it, Agriculture and Land use are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Environmental resource management research. The work on Environmental ethics tackled in Landscape Research brings together disciplines like Social science and Cultural landscape.

Landscape Research addresses concerns in Cultural landscape which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Cultural heritage and Landscape history. Cultural heritage management is a major topic of Cultural heritage research presented in the journal. It links adjacent topics like Environmental planning with Environmental protection.

Research on Landscape assessment presented in Landscape Research concerns the broader topic of Landscape design. Landscape archaeology is a focus of the Landscape design works in it.

  • Ecology (10.61%)
  • Environmental ethics (10.12%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Visual landscapes and psychological well‐being (501 citations)
  • Key concepts in a framework for analysing visual landscape character (387 citations)
  • The European Landscape Convention (219 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Landscape Research:

The journal articles facilitate discussions on Environmental resource management, Landscape assessment, Environmental ethics, Landscape archaeology and Ecology. While Environmental resource management is the focus of the journal publications, it also provides insights into the studies of Quality (business), Context (language use), Landscape ecology and Process (engineering). The Ecology research presented in the most cited publications focuses mostly on Preference and, on occasion, topics in Social psychology.

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

  • World War II
  • Law
  • Ecology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The topics of Environmental planning, Environmental ethics, Environmental resource management, Urban design and Context (language use) are the focal point of discussions in Landscape Research. The main emphasis of it is the subject of Environmental planning, focusing on Landscape planning. Many of the studies tackled connect Environmental ethics with a similar field of study like Urban planning.

The concepts on Urban design presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Green infrastructure and Landscape architecture. It connects the study in Context (language use) with the closely related area of Regional science.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Depicting decline: images and myths in environmental discourse analysis (2 citations)
  • Towards the identification and mapping of traditional agricultural landscapes at the national scale: an inventory approach from Italy (1 citations)
  • Making maps, making claims: the politics and practices of visualisation in environmental governance (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 Landscape Research (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Peter Howard (19 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Kenneth R. Olwig (19 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Anna Jorgensen (12 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Maggie Roe (11 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Paul Selman (11 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition.

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 Landscape Research (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (61 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 3 less than at the previous edition,
  • University of Sheffield (44 papers) published 7 papers at the last edition, 4 more than at the previous edition,
  • University of Copenhagen (30 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous 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, 7.23% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 28.57% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 1.30% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 9.09% of all publications and 61.04% 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.
