Overview

Top Research Topics at Revista Brasileira De Parasitologia Veterinaria?

The objective of Revista Brasileira De Parasitologia Veterinaria is to combine knowledge in the areas of Veterinary medicine, Zoology, Helminths, Virology and Ecology. The studies on Veterinary medicine discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Prevalence, Feces, Seroprevalence and Toxoplasma gondii. The presentations focused mostly on Prevalence in an attempt to further explore topics in Epidemiology.

Topics in Seroprevalence explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Neospora caninum and Toxoplasmosis. Host (biology), Parasitism, Fauna and Larva are some topics wherein Zoology research discussed in it have an impact. The work on Helminths tackled in it brings together disciplines like Nematode and Aquatic animal.

The concepts on Virology presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Serology, Antigen, Polymerase chain reaction and Canis. The featured Serology research is covered under the field of Antibody. It dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Tick and Acaricide.

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The aim of Revista Brasileira De Parasitologia Veterinaria is to expand the discussion of research in Zoology, Veterinary medicine, Toxoplasma gondii, Seroprevalence and Leishmaniasis. The close relationship between Parasitism and Infestation is one of the points of interest dissected in Zoology research. Some problems in Veterinary medicine that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Neospora caninum, Feces and Larva.

The presented research on Toxoplasma gondii deals specifically with Toxoplasmosis but it also addresses topics in Genotype. Revista Brasileira De Parasitologia Veterinaria deals with Seroprevalence in conjunction with Epidemiology and similar fields in Environmental health. Revista Brasileira De Parasitologia Veterinaria tackles studies in Leishmania and the interrelated subject of Virology, Zoonotic disease and Polymerase chain reaction to gain insights into Leishmaniasis.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

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, 25.60% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 54.84% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 21.51% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.90% of all publications and 10.75% 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

Students interested in Animal Science and Veterinary fields often explore complementary health and science degrees that enhance their career prospects. For example, pursuing an online bachelor's in kinesiology can deepen understanding of animal movement and rehabilitation, useful for careers in veterinary physical therapy or animal athletics.

Many prospective healthcare workers seek practical, accessible programs. Those considering veterinary support roles may find success attending lpn schools easy to get into as a stepping stone into animal care environments, where foundational nursing skills apply to animal health.

Veterans and others looking to diversify their expertise may be interested in speech pathology programs online for veterans. While human-focused, the communication skills learned can translate into animal behavioral therapy and training fields.

Additionally, mental health is critical for the wellbeing of both animals and their caregivers. Exploring programs like the top online pmhnp programs can prepare students for careers addressing psychological health, including roles in animal-assisted therapy and community veterinary services.
