Overview

Top Research Topics at Research Ideas and Outcomes?

Biodiversity, Data science, Environmental resource management, World Wide Web and Data management are the subjects of interest in Research Ideas and Outcomes. Biodiversity research presented falls under the umbrella topic of Ecology. The journal focuses on Data science research which is adjacent to topics in Biodiversity informatics.

It features Environmental resource management research that overlaps with concepts in Ecosystem services. The works on World Wide Web deal in particular with Metadata. The research on Data management discussed in the journal draws on the closely related field of Open data.

The Data sharing study tackled in it also covered diverse fields such as Research data and Knowledge management.

  • Biodiversity (11.84%)
  • Data science (10.86%)
  • Environmental resource management (9.21%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • DNAqua-Net: Developing new genetic tools for bioassessment and monitoring of aquatic ecosystems in Europe (102 citations)
  • A review of biodiversity-related issues and challenges in megadiverse Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries (40 citations)
  • Towards a biodiversity knowledge graph (32 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Research Ideas and Outcomes:

The journal publications facilitate discussions on Environmental resource management, Biodiversity, Sustainability, Citizen science and Biodiversity informatics. The most cited papers focus on Environmental resource management but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Training (civil), Ecosystem services, Water Framework Directive, Public relations and Open data. Issues in Biodiversity were discussed in the most cited publications, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Natural resource, Database and Data science.

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

  • Ecology
  • Law
  • Artificial intelligence

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal mainly tackles studies in World Wide Web, Open science, Biodiversity, Ecology and Library science. The journal facilitates discussions in Metadata, Web application and Open data as part of the larger field of World Wide Web, however, it also tackles fields such as Open access publishing and Geospatial metadata. Research Ideas and Outcomes focuses on Open science but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Transfer (computing), Open research and Knowledge graph.

It explores issues in Biodiversity which can be linked to other research areas like Test (assessment), Natural resource economics, Global change and Environmental resource management. Research Ideas and Outcomes covers research in Library science, particularly Collections management and how they are related with concepts in Postage Stamps. The tackled Best practice research is interrelated with Big data which concerns subjects like Data science.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • BII-Implementation: The causes and consequences of plant biodiversity across scales in a rapidly changing world (2 citations)
  • SARS-CoV-2 Structural Analysis of Receptor Binding Domain New Variants from United Kingdom and South Africa (2 citations)
  • ORKG: Facilitating the Transfer of Research Results with the Open Research Knowledge Graph (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 Research Ideas and Outcomes (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Quentin Groom (15 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Lyubomir Penev (15 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Daniel Mietchen (13 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 3 more than at the previous edition,
  • Arno Klein (10 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Cameron Neylon (10 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 Research Ideas and Outcomes (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Max Planck Society (5 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • American Museum of Natural History (4 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • University of Cambridge (3 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Aarhus University (2 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Free University of Berlin (2 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, 93.55% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 100.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 0.00% 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.
