Overview

Top Research Topics at Open Journal of Veterinary Medicine?

The journal focuses on Veterinary medicine, Animal science, Prevalence, Microbiology and Virology. While Veterinary medicine is the focus of Open Journal of Veterinary Medicine, it also provided insights into the studies of Helminths, Livestock, Feces and Seroprevalence. Animal science studies presented include Weaning and Dairy cattle.

The presentations focused mostly on Prevalence in an attempt to further explore topics in Epidemiology. Microbiology research discussed connects with the study of Escherichia coli. The concepts on Virology presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Antibody and Immunology.

Open Journal of Veterinary Medicine addresses concerns in Antibody which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Blastomyces dermatitidis, Blastomycosis and Antigen.

  • Veterinary medicine (23.96%)
  • Animal science (11.46%)
  • Prevalence (10.76%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • A Review of Enrofloxacin for Veterinary Use (60 citations)
  • Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Parasites of Horses and Donkeys in and around Gondar Town, Ethiopia (23 citations)
  • Prevalence of Hydatid Cysts in Slaughtered Animals from Different Areas of Libya (19 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Open Journal of Veterinary Medicine:

Veterinary medicine, Prevalence, Helminths, Feces and Livestock are the main subjects of interest in the most cited publications. The journal publications aim to investigate interdisciplinary topics such as Veterinary medicine and Field conditions. The journal publications focus on Prevalence but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Virology, Cattle Diseases, Disease and Antigen.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Bacteria

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal investigates studies in Animal science, CATS, Anesthesia, Dairy cattle and Internal medicine. Most of the Animal science studies addressed also intersect with Analysis of variance. Urine spraying research are fields of study within CATS but they also intertwine with concepts in Potential impact.

It explores topics in Anesthesia which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Tidal volume and Essential oil, Roman Chamomile. The work on Dairy cattle tackled in Open Journal of Veterinary Medicine brings together disciplines like Herd and Body condition score, Body condition scoring. Discussions in the journal are anchored in the subject of Internal medicine and the similar topic of Physiology.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Preference in Dogs of Two Oral Endectoparasiticide Formulations: NexGard Spectra ® (Afoxolaner and Milbemycin Oxime) and Credelio ® Plus (Lotilaner and Milbemycin Oxime) (0 citations)
  • Assessment of a Novel Surgical Technique for Acoustic Transmitter Insertion (0 citations)
  • Effort and Recovery in Nellore Oxen during Vaquejada Assessed with Ocular and Tail Infrared Thermography Superficial Temperature (0 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 Open Journal of Veterinary Medicine (based on the number of publications) are:

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.
