Overview

Top Research Topics at Phytopathogenic Mollicutes?

Phytopathogenic Mollicutes covers a variety of subjects, including Phytoplasma, Veterinary medicine, Botany, Nested polymerase chain reaction and 16S ribosomal RNA. Phytoplasma studies covered in Phytopathogenic Mollicutes falls within the purview of Restriction fragment length polymorphism. The Restriction fragment length polymorphism study featured falls within the wider field of Genetics.

Topics in Veterinary medicine explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Amplicon, Leafhopper, Crop and Aster yellows. Aside from research in Leafhopper, it also discusses Transmission (mechanics) studies. The concepts on Botany presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Vector (epidemiology), Candidatus Phytoplasma solani, Flavescence dorée, Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris and Host (biology).

Phytopathogenic Mollicutes holds forums on 16S ribosomal RNA that merges themes from other disciplines such as Wilt disease, Phylogenetics, Polymerase chain reaction and Phylogenetic tree. Shoot and Cultivar are some of the study areas of Horticulture discussed. The work tackled in the journal goes beyond the discipline of Phyllody as it also encompasses Virescence.

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.
