The scientific interests tackled in Plant Disease are Botany, Horticulture, Agronomy, Inoculation and Cultivar. In addition to Botany research, Plant Disease aims to explore topics under Plant virus and Pathogenicity. In it, researchers investigate the Plant virus study as part of research in the field of Virology.
Virus is a primary topic of Virology research in it. The journal emphasizes research on Pathogenicity, which includes concerns such as Fungal morphology. While it focused on Horticulture, it was also able to explore topics like Potato dextrose agar and Spore.
The Agronomy research presented places emphasis on topics like Poaceae and Crop. Cultivar and Plant disease resistance are closely related fields of research discussed in it. Plant Disease connects research in Conidium with the related topic of Powdery mildew.
The journal publications primarily focus on research topics in Botany, Horticulture, Agronomy, Cultivar and Inoculation. The works on Botany tackled in the most cited publications bring together disciplines like Plant disease resistance, Plant virus and Solanaceae. The most cited papers focus on Horticulture as well as the interrelated topics of Spore.
The journal is organized to address concerns in the fields of Horticulture, Inoculation, Conidium, Potato dextrose agar and Mycelium. The journal focuses on Horticulture but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Spots and Spore. The work on Inoculation tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Crop, Internal transcribed spacer, Root rot, Agar and Hypha.
Issues in Conidium were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Powdery mildew, Colletotrichum and Ornamental plant. While work presented in Plant Disease provided substantial information on Potato dextrose agar, it also covered topics in Canker, Stem rot, Fusarium and Wilting. The journal dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Cultivar and Fungicide.
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 Plant Disease (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Plant Disease (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.
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, 10.30% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 17.39% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.15% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.24% of all publications and 60.21% were from other institutions.
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.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2020)For students interested in Plant Science and Agronomy, exploring related online degrees can open diverse career opportunities. Many programs focus on nutrition and health, which overlap with agricultural sciences, particularly in food production and sustainability. For example, pursuing an accelerated np programs can complement agronomy knowledge for those aiming to work in community health roles related to nutrition and environment.
Similarly, students might consider advanced options like online dnp programs, which prepare professionals for leadership roles in healthcare and research, including areas linked to agricultural impact on public health.
Nutrition-focused degrees are also highly relevant. An online masters in nutrition and dietetics offers specialized knowledge on diet, which is directly connected to crop production and food sciences.
For undergraduates exploring foundational knowledge, attending nutrition school online provides flexibility while building expertise that supports a career in agronomy-related fields such as food security, agricultural consultancy, or environmental science.
