Overview

Top Research Topics at Limnetica?

The journal is organized to address concerns in the fields of Ecology, Forestry, Hydrology, Humanities and Mediterranean climate. Ecosystem, Species richness, Habitat, Abundance (ecology) and Phytoplankton studies are all carried out as a component of the study in Ecology presented. It focuses on Ecosystem as well as the interrelated topic of Biodiversity.

While it focused on Phytoplankton, it was also able to explore topics like Biomass (ecology) and Plankton. Hydrology research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Structural basin and Benthic zone. The journal focused on Benthic zone research but expanded to cover Invertebrate.

Drainage basin study tackled is connected to the field of Peninsula.

  • Ecology (35.36%)
  • Forestry (13.86%)
  • Hydrology (13.52%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Emerging global role of small lakes and ponds: little things mean a lot (310 citations)
  • High mountain lakes : extreme habitats and witnesses of environmental changes (129 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Limnetica:

The most cited publications facilitate discussions on Ecology, Humanities, Hydrology, Mediterranean climate and Drainage basin. The published articles connects research in Ecology with the related topics of Cyanobacteria. While Hydrology is the focus of the most cited papers, it also provides insights into the studies of Macrophyte, Structural basin, Fluvial and Benthic zone.

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, 50.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 50.00% 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 50.00% of all publications and 0.00% 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 interested in expanding their studies alongside Environmental Sciences, several related online degrees offer unique career opportunities. Programs like the best 5 year speech pathology programs provide an accelerated path for students passionate about communication disorders, complementing environmental health professions with skills in public interaction and therapy.

Another valuable route is certification through the best schools for bcba, offering specialized training in applied behavior analysis. This can support environmental initiatives focused on community behavior and sustainability practices.

For a more technical focus, pursuing an environmental health and safety degree online equips students with the skills needed to manage environmental risks and workplace safety, a critical element in many environmental science careers.

Additionally, degrees such as mft master's programs online prepare professionals to support community and family wellbeing, often intersecting with environmental justice concerns and holistic health approaches.
