The journal tackles a plethora of topics, such as Botany, Ecology, Pollination, Pollinator and Germination. The research on Botany discussed in the journal draws on the closely related field of Horticulture. In the journal, Genetic structure, Genetic diversity and Genetic variation are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Ecology research.
Issues in Genetic diversity were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Zoology and Genetics. The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Pollination, apply to Orchidaceae as well. Plant Species Biology explores research in Pollinator and the adjacent study of Reproductive success.
Research in Germination tackled falls within the umbrella of Agronomy. The main emphasis of it is the research on Pollen, emphasizing the topic of Stamen.
The journal articles are organized to reinforce research efforts on Botany, Ecology, Pollination, Pollinator and Pollen. While Botany is the focus of the journal publications, it also provides insights into the studies of Ploidy and Horticulture. The published papers explore topics in Ecology which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Genetic structure, Selfing and Reproductive success.
The journal investigates studies in Botany, Ecology, Pollination, Germination and Pollinator. Discussions in Plant Species Biology are anchored in the subject of Botany and the similar topic of Survivorship curve. It dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Ecology and Genetic diversity.
The work on Pollination tackled in Plant Species Biology brings together disciplines like Tropical Asia, Malvales and Mucuna. While the journal focused on Germination, it was also able to explore topics like Astrodaucus orientalis, Microclimate, Leptocereus and Water stress. Plant Species Biology explores issues in Pollinator which can be linked to other research areas like Shrub, Endangered species, Adoxaceae, Viburnum and Andrenidae.
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 Species Biology (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 Species Biology (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, 7.14% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 15.38% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 19.23% of all publications and 40.38% 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.

(2021)For students interested in Plant Science and Agronomy, expanding knowledge in related fields can enhance career prospects. Online programs offer flexible options to gain specialized skills without interrupting your current commitments.
Public health aspects of agriculture and environmental impact can be studied through some of the best easiest MPH online programs to get into, providing a gateway to roles focusing on sustainable farming and community health.
For those aiming to combine agronomy with healthcare, accelerated routes such as the accelerated FNP program enable quicker transition into family nurse practitioner roles, supporting rural and agricultural populations.
Advancing nursing qualifications through MSN to DNP programs offers deeper clinical expertise, which can be influential in occupational health related to agronomy.
Nutrition also plays a vital role in agronomy careers. Pursuing the cheapest online master's in nutrition can complement plant science knowledge, opening doors to food security, dietetics, and agricultural innovation sectors.
