Overview

Top Research Topics at Mammal Review?

The topics of Ecology, Zoology, Habitat, Predation and Range (biology) are the focal point of discussions in Mammal Review. Mammal Review focuses on Ecology as well as the interrelated topic of Fishery. Whale and Whaling are some of the study areas of Fishery discussed.

Predator is a major topic of Predation research.

  • Ecology (54.84%)
  • Zoology (21.75%)
  • Habitat (14.57%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Home‐range analysis using radio‐tracking data–a review of problems and techniques particularly as applied to the study of mammals (1038 citations)
  • Responses of cetaceans to anthropogenic noise (414 citations)
  • Facts from faeces (389 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Mammal Review:

The most cited papers cover a variety of subjects, including Ecology, Habitat, Range (biology), Predation and Zoology. Most of the Ecology studies addressed in the published papers also intersect with Population density. The published articles tackle studies in Competition (biology) and the interrelated subject of Interspecific competition to gain insights into Predation.

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

  • Ecology
  • IUCN Red List
  • Zoology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal covers a variety of subjects, including Ecology, Zoology, Habitat, Threatened species and Range (biology). As a part of Mammal Review, discussions in Ecology involve topics like Hibernation, Ecosystem engineer, Niche, Generalist and specialist species and Herbivore. The research on Zoology featured in Mammal Review combines topics in other fields like Mesopredator release hypothesis, Felis catus, Predation and Wildlife.

The studies on Habitat discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Foraging and Vegetation. The Near-threatened species studies presented in it fall under the field of Threatened species, but it also has connections to other fields such as Pandemic. Topics in Range (biology) were tackled in line with various other fields like Basal metabolic rate, Adaptation, Species distribution and Aridity index.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Risk of human-to-wildlife transmission of SARS-CoV-2. (27 citations)
  • Population and distribution of beavers Castor fiber and Castor canadensis in Eurasia (15 citations)
  • Wild ungulate overabundance in Europe: contexts, causes, monitoring and management recommendations (14 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.

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, 18.97% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.17% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.97% of all publications and 56.90% 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 students interested in studying Animal Science and Veterinary fields, exploring jobs with animals that pay well can provide valuable insight into potential career outcomes. Many positions, ranging from animal behaviorists to wildlife biologists, offer competitive salaries and growth opportunities.

Beyond animal-specific roles, healthcare pathways such as nursing can complement your knowledge, especially if you are interested in veterinary care or animal-assisted therapy. Programs like lvn to bsn programs offer an affordable transition to higher nursing credentials, enabling more specialized roles.

For those considering advanced education in healthcare, pursuing a phd in nursing salary can open up leadership, research, and academic career paths that often intersect with animal health and public health sectors.

Additionally, nutrition plays a crucial role in both human and animal health. Enrolling in dietitian master's programs online can prepare you to become a specialist in dietetics, a field that increasingly incorporates animal nutrition and sustainable food systems.
