Overview

Top Research Topics at Mycology?

Botany, Ecology, Microbiology, Fungus and Biochemistry are among the topics commonly tackled in the journal. Botany study tackled is connected to the field of Phylogenetics. Mycology focuses on Phylogenetics research which is adjacent to topics in Phylogenetic tree.

Biodiversity, Species diversity and Marine fungi are some of the study areas of Ecology discussed. Microbiology works presented in it have a specific focus on Antimicrobial. Antimicrobial research discussed connects with the study of Staphylococcus aureus.

Mycology connects research in Fungus with the related topic of Mycelium. Research in Taxonomy (biology) tackled falls within the umbrella of Zoology.

  • Botany (39.02%)
  • Ecology (13.58%)
  • Microbiology (11.85%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Fueling the future with fungal genomics (176 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Mycology:

The main points discussed in the journal articles deal with Botany, Fungus, Ecology, Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense and Genus. In addition to Botany research, the journal articles aim to explore topics under Antimicrobial, Phylogenetic tree and Bacteria. While the journal articles focused on Fungus, they were also able to explore topics like Taxonomy (biology), Nomenclature, Hypha and Cordyceps.

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

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

  • Xingzhong Liu (8 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Jianping Xu (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Kandikere R. Sridhar (7 papers) absent at the last edition.

The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

  • Mangalore University (9 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • McMaster University (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Rutgers University (6 papers) absent at the last edition.

The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.

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, 10.34% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 15.38% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 3.85% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 30.77% of all publications and 50.00% 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 Plant Science and Agronomy, exploring related online degrees can broaden career opportunities. Programs like functional medicine np programs emphasize integrative approaches to health, which can complement studies focused on sustainable agriculture and plant-based health solutions.

Understanding the financial outlook of healthcare roles can also be valuable. Checking dnp salary transparency helps prospective students evaluate potential earnings and job markets when considering advanced nursing or practitioner degrees related to environmental health.

For those looking to accelerate their education, options such as accelerated fnp program offer faster pathways to becoming nurse practitioners, which can intersect with public health roles linked to agronomy and plant science.

Additionally, pursuing public health degrees through the fastest and easiest online mph programs can enhance understanding of population health, disease prevention, and environmental impacts on communities. These interdisciplinary skills are increasingly relevant in agronomy careers focused on food security and sustainable farming.
