Overview

Top Research Topics at Peanut Science?

The journal facilitates discussions on Agronomy, Arachis hypogaea, Cultivar, Horticulture and Botany. The journal tackles issues in Agronomy, particularly in the topics of Point of delivery, Sowing, Yield (wine), Fungicide and Crop. Fungicide study tackled is connected to the field of Stem rot.

The journal holds forums on Arachis hypogaea that merges themes from other disciplines such as Weed control, Germplasm, Resistance (ecology) and Genotype. Some problems in Cultivar that were presented in Peanut Science overlapped with concepts under Plant disease resistance, Tifton, Tomato spotted wilt virus and Growing season. The Horticulture research presented places emphasis on topics like Inoculation and Germination.

The majority of Botany studies are focused on the issues of Arachis. Research in the field of Leaf spot was used to conduct the presented Cercospora arachidicola study.

  • Agronomy (60.99%)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Peanut Science:

The journal articles investigate studies in Agronomy, Arachis hypogaea, Cultivar, Horticulture and Botany. The published articles address concerns in Agronomy which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Aspergillus flavus and Aflatoxin. The works on Arachis hypogaea tackled in the published articles bring together disciplines like Biotechnology, Arachis, Point of delivery, Genotype and Weed control.

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

  • Botany

  • Agriculture

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal mainly deals with areas of study such as Horticulture, Agronomy, Arachis hypogaea, Yield (wine) and Resistance (ecology). Peanut Science focuses on Horticulture but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Metribuzin and Imidacloprid. Peanut Science addresses concerns in Agronomy which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Moisture and Quality (business).

The journal explores issues in Arachis hypogaea which can be linked to other research areas like Growing region, Genotype and Smut. The study of Resistance (ecology) encompasses disciplines such as Arachis, as well as fields such as Greenhouse and Athelia rolfsii, all of which overlap with one another.

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, 60.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 83.33% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.67% of all publications and 0.00% 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 those interested in Plant Science and Agronomy, exploring related online degrees can open diverse career paths in agriculture, biotechnology, and environmental science. Many students pursue advanced education through flexible online programs that align with their career goals.

Students looking to transition into healthcare roles connected to agricultural health and research might consider pathways similar to the adn to fnp programs. These bridge programs allow licensed nurses to advance their qualifications and specialize further, sometimes in fields impacting rural and farming communities.

Some universities offer accelerated alternatives like direct entry msn programs for non nurses online, providing a faster transition into nurse practitioner roles. These programs are valuable for candidates with non-nursing degrees aiming to enter healthcare careers that intersect with plant-based therapeutics and sustainable agriculture.

Choosing the right education provider is crucial when balancing work and study. Comparisons such as capella university vs wgu rn to bsn highlight factors like program structure, flexibility, and reputation—key elements when selecting an online degree tied to agronomy or related sciences.

Specialized career roles, including becoming a functional medicine nurse practitioner, often offer promising salaries and growth. Understanding the functional medicine nurse practitioner salary can help graduates gauge the financial prospects and stability in healthcare fields connected with plant science innovations.
