Overview

Top Research Topics at Revista Brasileira De Entomologia?

Revista Brasileira De Entomologia covers a variety of subjects, including Zoology, Ecology, Botany, Taxonomy (biology) and Hymenoptera. The study on Zoology presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Pupa. The Ecology research presented places emphasis on topics like Species richness, Fauna, Key (lock), Abundance (ecology) and Atlantic forest.

Most of the works presented in it deals with Botany but it intersects with the subject of Horticulture. Vespidae, Apidae and Parasitoid are some of the facets of Hymenoptera tackled in it. Instar is part of Larva studies tackled in Revista Brasileira De Entomologia.

The journal is concerned with the study of Cecidomyiidae and Gall in general.

Revista Brasileira De Entomologia mainly deals with areas of study such as Zoology, Taxonomy (biology), Ecology, Lepidoptera genitalia and Genus. The concepts on Zoology presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Taxon and Larva, Aedes. Topics in Larva explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Hymenoptera and Parasitism.

The studies on Taxonomy (biology) discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Leptophlebiidae, Halictidae, Key (lock), Species groups and Heteroptera. Ecology studies presented include Species richness, Abundance (ecology), Forest ecology, Secondary forest and Habitat. The Lepidoptera genitalia works featured in it incorporate elements from PEST analysis, Horticulture, Instar and Fecundity.

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, 15.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 58.82% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 29.41% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 2.94% of all publications and 8.82% 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 opens doors to diverse career paths, often intersecting with fields like healthcare and environmental management. For students seeking flexible education options, exploring easy dnp programs can provide insight into advanced practice nursing degrees that accommodate busy schedules. These programs emphasize practical knowledge that can be relevant in ecological health and public wellbeing contexts.

Similarly, many prospective students may prefer institutions with fewer entry barriers. Research shows that some nursing programs easy to get into exist, making it simpler for candidates to start their journey without intensive prerequisite hurdles. This accessibility is crucial for those changing careers or expanding their expertise related to ecosystem health or conservation biology.

For those drawn to leadership roles, online degrees in health administration offer vital skills in managing programs that impact ecological research or sustainability projects. The best health administration degree online programs are designed for rapid completion, balancing academic rigor with flexible learning to advance careers efficiently.

Lastly, prospective students can find nursing schools without entrance exam requirements, reducing initial barriers to entry. This approach encourages a broader range of applicants who can contribute diverse perspectives to ecological and evolutionary studies linked to healthcare and environmental sciences.
