The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The topics of Zoology, Cricetidae, Ecology, Atlantic forest and Humanities are the focal point of discussions in Mastozoología neotropical. The journal holds forums on Zoology that merges themes from other disciplines such as Sigmodontinae, Opossum, Didelphis albiventris and Spiny mouse. It addresses concerns in Cricetidae which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Oligoryzomys, Mesostigmata, Genus Neacomys and Deltamys kempi.

It dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Ecology and Natural (archaeology). While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Atlantic forest, it also covered topics in Oceanography, Climate change and Community structure.

  • A brief critical review of sigmodontine rodent origins, with emphasis on paleontological data (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.

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

For students interested in Ecology and Evolution, exploring related fields can open diverse career pathways. One such area is health information, where professionals manage crucial data that supports biological research and healthcare systems. Enrolling in online health information management programs cahiim accredited ensures a reputable education that meets industry standards.

Another promising pathway is healthcare, especially nursing. Many aspiring nurses choose the easiest absn programs to get into to quickly advance their qualifications and broaden their roles in patient care, which often intersects with environmental health. Further specialization can be achieved through certifications such as the ccs certification, which enhances career prospects in clinical settings and research documentation.

For those holding a master’s degree, advancing through rapid certification programs is another viable option. The fastest post master's fnp certificate programs provide a pathway to become family nurse practitioners, integrating ecological awareness into patient care in various communities.

Overall, these educational opportunities support a broad range of careers linked to ecology and evolution, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary study and certification to stay competitive in today’s evolving job market.
