Overview

Top Research Topics at Records of The Australian Museum?

Records of The Australian Museum was organized to reinforce research efforts on Zoology, Ecology, Genus, Fishery and Archaeology. Crustacean, Key (lock) and Fauna are among the areas of Ecology tackled. The majority of Crustacean studies presented zero in on Amphipoda.

The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Genus, apply to Paleontology as well.

  • Zoology (31.82%)
  • Ecology (21.83%)
  • Genus (16.87%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • An appraisal of the higher classification of cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadoidea) with special reference to the Australian fauna (161 citations)
  • A phylogenetic subdivision of Australian skinks (114 citations)
  • The Thalassinidea (Crustacea: Decapoda) of Australia (83 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Records of The Australian Museum:

The journal papers investigate studies in Ecology, Zoology, Fishery, Genus and Crustacean. The most cited articles investigate Ecology research which frequently intersects with Monophyly. The journal papers feature Zoology research that overlaps with concepts in Shrimp.

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

  • Genus
  • Ecology
  • Zoology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The main research concerns discussed in Records of The Australian Museum are Zoology, Crustacean, Genus, Nyctophilus gouldi and Hymenoptera. In particular, the Zoology works presented emphasize discussions on Heteromysis. The research on Crustacean featured in Records of The Australian Museum combines topics in other fields like Garcia and Humanities.

The concepts on Genus presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Wolf spider and Mysidae. The in-depth study on Hymenoptera also explores topics in the intersecting field of Key (lock).

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • A key to the Australian genera of Eumeninae (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) (0 citations)
  • New eastern Australian species in the wolf spider genus Artoriopsis (Araneae, Lycosidae, Artoriinae) (0 citations)
  • Egyptian funerary boat model in the Australian Museum: dating and analysis (0 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 Records of The Australian Museum (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Charles Hedley (40 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Gilbert P. Whitley (31 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Frederick D. McCarthy (25 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 Records of The Australian Museum (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Australian Museum (9 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Australian National University (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of New South Wales (5 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Smithsonian Institution (4 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Sydney (3 papers) absent 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, 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.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Exploring Ecology and Evolution opens doors to diverse career paths, many of which benefit from specialized online education. For those interested in health-related aspects of ecological work, pursuing a cahiim accredited him degree online can provide expertise in managing health data that overlaps with ecological studies.

Individuals aiming to transition quickly into the healthcare sector may consider accelerated bsn programs for non nurses. These programs allow those without a nursing background to gain essential skills rapidly, which can complement environmental health roles.

For those fascinated by the documentation and regulatory side of healthcare and ecological management, obtaining a medical coding certification offers a pathway to specialized careers involving data accuracy and compliance, which are crucial in environmental research and health monitoring.

Finally, advanced practitioners in nursing can expand their skillset with a 1 year post master's fnp online program, enabling them to integrate family health perspectives into ecological and evolutionary contexts. These flexible programs support career growth without interrupting professional commitments.
