Research areas of the most cited articles at Pesquisa Veterinaria Brasileira:

The most cited articles primarily focus on research topics in Veterinary medicine, Pathology, Animal science, Outbreak and Microbiology. Veterinary medicine research is the primary subject tackled in the journal papers with a focus in Herd. Edema, Encephalitis and Anatomy are some topics wherein Pathology research discussed in the journal papers has an impact.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Disease

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Pesquisa Veterinaria Brasileira mainly tackles studies in Veterinary medicine, Pathology, Internal medicine, Zoology and Flock. While work presented in Pesquisa Veterinaria Brasileira provided substantial information on Veterinary medicine, it also covered topics in Dairy cattle, Antimicrobial, Epidemiology and Outbreak. The journal features Pathology research that overlaps with concepts in Viral load.

The journal explores issues in Internal medicine which can be linked to other research areas like Gastroenterology and Endocrinology. The concepts on Flock presented in Pesquisa Veterinaria Brasileira can also apply to other research fields, including Ruminant, Pasture, Forage and Proventriculus. The study of Sarcocystis and how it intertwines with concepts under Microbiology were explored in the presented Histopathology research.

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, 17.91% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 70.91% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 21.82% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 7.27% 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

Exploring Animal Science and Veterinary studies opens doors to various related fields, many of which offer flexible online programs tailored to different career goals. For those interested in physical health and movement, kinesiology programs provide a strong foundation in biomechanics and rehabilitation, which can complement veterinary knowledge.

Health care roles that support animal and human wellbeing often have accessible entry points. For example, looking at lpn programs with easiest admission requirements can be a practical step for individuals seeking quick entry into patient care professions, which sometimes overlap with animal care in therapy or clinical settings.

Communication skills are crucial in the medical and animal care fields. Programs like online speech pathology degree programs for veterans highlight opportunities for those looking to transition or specialize in speech and communication therapy, offering a unique crossover with veterinary behavioral studies.

Lastly, mental health is increasingly recognized in all care professions. The demand for qualified nurses is high, making online pmhnp programs with clinical placement a valuable pathway for those interested in psychiatric mental health nursing, which can parallel care approaches used in animal and human health.
