Research areas of the most cited articles at Physiologia Plantarum:

The main points discussed in the journal publications deal with Botany, Biochemistry, Horticulture, Photosynthesis and Shoot. While the journal publications focused on Botany, they were also able to explore topics like Auxin and Abscisic acid. The study on Horticulture presented in the journal publications is investigated in conjunction with research in Transpiration.

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

• Enzyme
• Botany
• Gene

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The aim of Physiologia Plantarum is to expand the discussion of research in Horticulture, Photosynthesis, Cell biology, Drought tolerance and Gene. The studies on Horticulture discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Proline, Salinity and Abscisic acid. While Physiologia Plantarum focused on Salinity, it was also able to explore topics like Osmolyte and Abiotic component.

Research in the field of Botany was used to conduct the presented Photosynthesis study. While Cell biology is the key highlight in Physiologia Plantarum, it also covered some subjects on Arabidopsis and Arabidopsis thaliana. Arabidopsis thaliana research presented falls under the umbrella topic of Biochemistry.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Impact of exogenously applied trehalose on leaf biochemistry, achene yield and oil composition of sunflower under drought stress. (26 citations)
• Meta‐analysis of drought and heat stress combination impact on crop yield and yield components (25 citations)
• Plant sugars: Homeostasis and transport under abiotic stress in plants. (17 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.

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, 3.37% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 7.77% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.58% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 10.72% of all publications and 72.92% 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.
