Overview

Top Research Topics at Mycobiology?

The objective of the journal is to combine knowledge in the areas of Botany, Horticulture, Microbiology, Mycelium and Internal transcribed spacer. The research on Botany discussed in it draws on the closely related field of Phylogenetic tree. The work on Phylogenetic tree addressed in it expands to the thematically related Phylogenetics.

Inoculation is a focus of the Horticulture works in Mycobiology. The study on Internal transcribed spacer presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Ribosomal DNA. The Mushroom research discussed is included in the broader subject of Food science.

The study on Food science featured in the journal expounds on the topic of Fermentation in particular. Most of the works presented in the journal deals with Taxonomy (biology) but it intersects with the subject of Lichen.

  • Botany (48.61%)
  • Horticulture (13.10%)
  • Microbiology (12.09%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Antifungal Effects of Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs) against Various Plant Pathogenic Fungi (308 citations)
  • Application of silver nanoparticles for the control of colletotrichum species in vitro and pepper anthracnose disease in field. (149 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Mycobiology:

The journal publications are organized to address concerns in the fields of Botany, Microbiology, Food science, Horticulture and Mycelium. Most of the works presented in the most cited publications deal with Botany but they intersect with the subject of Internal transcribed spacer. The published articles hold forums on Microbiology that merge themes from other disciplines such as Microorganism, 16S ribosomal RNA and Bacteria.

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

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Enzyme

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Mycobiology aims to foster the development of research in Botany, Phylogenetics, Genus, Phylogenetic tree and Fungus. In it, Nematode, Antifungal and Ascomycetous yeast are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Botany research. Topics in Phylogenetics explored in Mycobiology were investigated in conjunction with research in Taxonomy (biology), Marine species, Conidium and Internal transcribed spacer.

Aside from discussions in Genus, it also deals with the subject of Aspergillus which intersects with Rhizosphere disciplines. While work presented in it provided substantial information on Phylogenetic tree, it also covered topics in Pathogenicity, Cladosporium perangustum, Morphology (biology), Pseudoperonospora cubensis and Cuticle. Ophiocordyceps, Smut, Irpex and Xylaria grammica are some topics wherein Fungus research discussed in it have an impact.

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, 4.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 29.17% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 25.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 10.42% of all publications and 35.42% 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.
