Overview

Top Research Topics at Management of Biological Invasions?

The journal investigates studies in Ecology, Invasive species, Fishery, Introduced species and Aquatic animal. Management of Biological Invasions links adjacent topics like Ecology with Biological dispersal. The journal holds forums on Invasive species that merges themes from other disciplines such as Zoology, Biosecurity, Aquatic organisms, Environmental DNA and Zebra mussel.

It connects research in Zebra mussel with the related topic of Dreissena. Management of Biological Invasions encompasses presentations on Fishery, specifically Mussel and Crayfish. The research on Mussel discussed in it draws on the closely related field of Ciona intestinalis.

Introduced species research featured in Management of Biological Invasions incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Biodiversity, Predation, Environmental resource management, Fishing and Information system. Management of Biological Invasions focuses on Aquatic animal as well as the interrelated topic of Aquaculture.

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 2022 edition, 100.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, nan% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another nan% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included nan% of all publications and nan% 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

Exploring Ecology and Evolution can open doors to various allied health and environmental science careers. Many students seek flexible education options like online DNP programs without clinicals, which cater to busy professionals aiming to advance without traditional clinical requirements.

For those interested in health-related fields but concerned about admission challenges, there are valuable resources focused on nursing schools that are easy to get into. These options often provide supportive environments for students entering healthcare with less competitive entry criteria.

Additionally, degrees in healthcare management are increasingly popular among graduates with a science background. The best schools for healthcare administration online offer accelerated programs that equip students with leadership skills crucial for managing health services efficiently.

Lastly, some nursing schools designed for convenience do not require entrance exams like TEAS or HESI, making them accessible pathways. You can explore nursing schools that don’t require TEAS test near me to find suitable programs without these testing barriers.
