Overview

Top Research Topics at Marine ornithology?

Marine ornithology is mainly concerned with subjects like Seabird, Ornithology, Ecology, Fishery and Oceanography. The work on Seabird tackled in Marine ornithology brings together disciplines like Zoology, Nest and Foraging. It tackles research in various disciplines, including Ornithology and Distribution (economics).

The presentations discussing Ecology offer insights in topics such as Habitat and Tern. The journal features Oceanography research that overlaps with concepts in Peninsula.

  • Seabird (98.44%)
  • Ornithology (95.22%)
  • Ecology (43.12%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • THE DIETS AND DIETARY SEGREGATION OF SEABIRDS AT THE SUBANTARCTIC CROZET ISLANDS (PART 3) (174 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Marine ornithology:

The published articles facilitate discussions on Seabird, Ornithology, Ecology, Fishery and Oceanography. The Seabird research discussed in the journal articles is included in the broader subject of Predation. While Ornithology is the key highlight in the journal publications, thet also covered some subjects on Shetland and George (robot).

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

  • Ecology
  • Seabird
  • Zoology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal focuses largely on the fields of Ornithology, Seabird, Zoology, Fishery and Ecology. Topics in Ornithology explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Hirundo, Oceanography, Archipelago and Population size. Topics in Seabird were tackled in line with various other fields like Abundance (ecology), Foraging and Sterna.

Zoology research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Isotope analysis, Shearwater and Larus michahellis. Fishery research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Red-footed booby and Predation. Life history, Wetland and Reproductive ecology research are fields of study within Ecology but they also intertwine with concepts in Cygnus melancoryphus.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

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, 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

Studying Ecology and Evolution opens doors to various interdisciplinary fields, including health and environmental management. Many students consider advancing their education through programs like the fast online master's in healthcare management, which provides valuable skills in managing complex health systems that overlap with ecological health monitoring.

For those interested in healthcare roles connected to ecological impacts on human health, accelerated fnp programs offer a swift route to becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner. These programs are ideal for professionals eager to enter patient care focusing on broader community health influenced by environmental factors.

Further specialization is possible by transitioning from nurse practitioner roles to acute care, as explored in fnp to acute care np pathways. This career progression can be crucial for addressing immediate health crises related to environmental emergencies and evolving diseases.

Alternatively, a bachelor of science in health information management salary and career insights highlight the growing demand for professionals skilled in managing health data—an essential facet for ecological and evolutionary research impacting public health policies.
