Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Agricultural Research?

Journal of Agricultural Research investigates studies in Agronomy, Botany, Horticulture, Food science and Animal science. The journal links adjacent topics like Agronomy with Nitrogen. The work tackled in it goes beyond the discipline of Food science as it also encompasses Composition (visual arts).

The study on Forage presented in Journal of Agricultural Research intersects with the topics under Hay.

  • Agronomy (28.26%)
  • Botany (15.89%)
  • Horticulture (14.11%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Final Results of the Duvel Buried Seed Experiment (235 citations)
  • Yield improvement and associated characteristics of some Australian spring wheat cultivars introduced between 1860 and 1982 (190 citations)
  • The effect of high temperature on kernel dimensions and the type and occurrence of kernel damage in rice (188 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Journal of Agricultural Research:

The journal publications cover a variety of subjects, including Botany, Agronomy, Animal science, Horticulture and Food science. The most cited publications with studies in Botany featured incorporate elements of Inoculation, Pathogenicity and Starch. The journal papers connects the study in Agronomy with the closely related areas of Soil water.

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Horticulture

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The objective of the journal is to combine knowledge in the areas of Horticulture, Food science, Cultivar, Agronomy and Water content. In Journal of Agricultural Research, Apiary and Resistance (ecology) are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Horticulture research. The journal focuses on Food science but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Escherichia coli, Pathogenic bacteria, Bacteria and Antimicrobial.

Journal of Agricultural Research connects the study in Cultivar with the closely related area of Yield (wine). The journal concentrated on Agronomy research, specifically Growing season, Crop and Sowing. Journal of Agricultural Research focused on Growing season research but expanded to cover Nutrient.

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, 50.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 89.74% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.13% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 2.56% of all publications and 2.56% 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 fields like nutrition and healthcare can broaden career opportunities. Many professionals transition into areas such as dietetics or nursing, where a strong understanding of biological sciences is valuable.

If you’re considering expanding your expertise in human health and diet, explore the best online registered dietitian programs. These programs offer convenient options for students seeking to combine plant science knowledge with nutrition expertise, ultimately helping to promote sustainable, healthy eating habits.

Similarly, those interested in fast-tracking their education might look into online degrees in nutrition, which provide flexible and accelerated paths to graduation. These programs cater to working professionals aiming to shift into nutrition-focused roles quickly.

For graduates looking to enter the healthcare sector without prior nursing experience, online accelerated nursing programs for non nurses offer a practical route. These programs build on science backgrounds and prepare students for nursing careers in less time.

Moreover, understanding how long does it take to become a nurse practitioner is crucial for planning advanced healthcare careers. Nurse practitioners often play key roles in community health, where plant-based nutrition knowledge can be an asset in managing patient care.
