Overview

Top Research Topics at Mycotaxon?

The journal is mainly concerned with subjects like Botany, Taxonomy (biology), Ecology, Zoology and Fungal morphology. The in-depth study on Botany also explores topics in the intersecting field of China. While Taxonomy (biology) is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Natural distribution, Hyphomycetes, Fungi imperfecti and Geographic distribution.

The journal centers on topics in Ecology, with a focus on Habitat.

  • Botany (59.50%)
  • Taxonomy (biology) (37.28%)
  • Ecology (32.41%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Revised classification of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Zygomycetes): a new order, Glomales, two new suborders, Glomineae and Gigasporineae, and two new families, Acaulosporaceae and Gigasporaceae, with an emendation of Glomaceae (530 citations)
  • Geomyces destructans sp. nov. associated with bat white-nose syndrome. (272 citations)
  • Alternaria themes and variations (73). (250 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Mycotaxon:

The most cited papers explore disciplines such as Botany, Taxonomy (biology), Ecology, Zoology and Fungal morphology. The most cited publications tackle issues in Botany, particularly in the topics of Genus, Spore, Taxon, Endophyte and Hypha. Issues in Taxonomy (biology) were discussed in the journal articles, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Fungi imperfecti, Geographic distribution and Polyporaceae.

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Fungus

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The scientific interests tackled in the journal are Botany, Zoology, Ecology, China and Evolutionary biology. Studies on Botany discussed in Mycotaxon link to the field of Eranthis. The featured Zoology research zeroes in on concepts in Genus but also tackles themes under Trichoglossum walteri and Gerronema nemorale.

Mycotaxon features works in Ecology, more specifically Rainforest, Host (biology) and Endophragmiella, and explores their relation to disciplines like Attalea phalerata. The research on China featured in it combines topics in other fields like Camposporium and Craterellus. It focuses on Evolutionary biology but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Clitocybula, Identification (biology) and Key (lock).

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • New host and distributional records for Camarosporidiella in Italy, Russia, and Ukraine (1 citations)
  • Spathularia nigripes and Trichoglossum walteri newly recorded from Turkey (1 citations)
  • Morphological and phylogenetic resolution of Arthrinium from medicinal plants in Yunnan, including A. cordylines and A. pseudomarii spp. nov. (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.

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.

The top authors publishing in Mycotaxon (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Rafael F. Castañeda-Ruiz (93 papers) published 8 papers at the last edition, 10 less than at the previous edition,
  • John A. Elix (69 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Xiu-Guo Zhang (65 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • Abdul Nasir Khalid (64 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 3 less than at the previous edition,
  • Gabriel Moreno (64 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

The top affiliations publishing in Mycotaxon (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Korea University (37 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Liège (15 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Tsukuba (10 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Forest Research Institute (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • American Museum of Natural History (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, 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.
