Overview

Top Research Topics at Polish Journal of Ecology?

The topics of Ecology, Habitat, Botany, Species richness and Vegetation are the focal point of discussions in Polish Journal of Ecology. Polish Journal of Ecology focused on Ecology research but expanded to cover Agronomy. It explores topics in Habitat which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Range (biology) and Biodiversity.

  • Ecology (94.67%)
  • Habitat (15.28%)
  • Botany (15.13%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Daphnia: Model herbivore, predator and prey (139 citations)
  • MITES (ACARI) AS INDICATORS OF SOIL BIODIVERSITY AND LAND USE MONITORING: A REVIEW (132 citations)
  • The usefulness of zooplankton as lake ecosystem indicators : Rotifer Trophic State Index (88 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Polish Journal of Ecology:

Ecology, Habitat, Botany, Eutrophication and Vegetation are the main subjects of interest in the journal articles. In addition to Ecology research, the published papers aim to explore topics under Agroforestry and Bank vole. The studies on Eutrophication discussed at the most cited articles can also contribute to research in the domains of Trophic level, Water quality and Biomass (ecology).

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Genus

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Polish Journal of Ecology is organized to address concerns in the fields of Ecology, Habitat, Vegetation, Seasonality and Abundance (ecology). In it, Zoology and Horticulture are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Ecology research. The work on Habitat tackled in Polish Journal of Ecology brings together disciplines like Natural resource, Forest road, Jackal, Wildlife and Mammal.

In addition to Vegetation research, Polish Journal of Ecology aims to explore topics under Generalized additive model, Elevation, Resistance (ecology), Spatial distribution and Specific leaf area. Seasonality research presented in Polish Journal of Ecology encompasses a variety of subjects, including Coronella austriaca and Anguis. Rhombomys opimus, Global biodiversity, Diversity index, Species richness and Species diversity are some topics wherein Abundance (ecology) research discussed in it have an impact.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Predicting Spatial Distribution of Plant Functional Traits in a Forest-Steppe Zone (1 citations)
  • Differences in Troglomorphism and Sexual Dimorphism in Two Sympatric Subtroglophile Crickets of Genus Troglophilus (Insecta: Orthoptera) (1 citations)
  • Expansion of Cold-Adapted Orchid Goodyera repens (Orchidaceae) in Times of Global Warming – Report from Southern Poland (1 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.

The top authors publishing in Polish Journal of Ecology (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Werner Ulrich (21 papers) absent at the last edition,

  • Zdravko Dolenec (9 papers) absent at the last edition.

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 Polish Journal of Ecology (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Polish Academy of Sciences (167 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Chinese Academy of Sciences (78 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • University of Warsaw (36 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Jagiellonian University (30 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań (27 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition.

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, 7.14% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 30.77% 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 23.08% of all publications and 30.77% 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

Studying Ecology and Evolution offers a strong foundation for various professional directions, including health and environmental sectors. For those interested in combining ecological knowledge with healthcare management, pursuing an online cahiim accredited health information management degree can open doors to managing critical data in health settings, integrating environmental and health information systems.

Individuals without a nursing background fascinated by the intersection of environmental science and patient care might explore accelerated bsn programs for non nurses. These programs fast-track entry into nursing careers, enabling a quicker transition from ecological studies to clinical applications.

For a career focusing on the administrative and technical side of medical services, understanding the differences between certifications is vital. Medical coding professionals often decide between certifications such as CPC and CCS. Insight into medical coding certification guides career planning by highlighting cost, requirements, and salary prospects.

Furthermore, Ecology and Evolution graduates seeking advanced clinical roles may consider specialty certifications. For example, pursuing a post masters fnp certification enables professionals to become Family Nurse Practitioners, blending scientific expertise with advanced patient care skills.
