Research areas of the most cited articles at Revista Peruana de Biología:

The journal papers investigate studies in Ecology, Humanities, Endemism, Fishery and Flora. The most cited articles aim to form a more comprehensive understanding of the field by integrating disciplines like Ecology and Distribution (economics). While work presented in the journal papers provide substantial information on Endemism, it also covers topics in Puya raimondii, Bromeliaceae and Germination.

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Botany

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The discussions in Revista Peruana de Biología mainly cover the fields of Zoology, Amazon rainforest, Ecology, Botany and Archaeology. The studies in Crustacean and Mesocyclops under the umbrella field of Zoology overlap with concepts in Genetic variability, Leptestheria and Clam shrimp. The Amazon rainforest works featured in Revista Peruana de Biología incorporate elements from Seasonal breeder, Taxonomic composition and Morphometrics.

Presentations on Ecology include those discussing Alophophion, Species richness, Enicospilus, Resource (biology) and Sauria. Topics in Botany explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Chromosome number, Ploidy and Chromosomal morphology. The journal facilitates the exploration of Archaeology in relation to the field of Kalcerrytus.

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, 50.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 70.00% 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 25.00% of all publications and 5.00% 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.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Studying Ecology and Evolution opens doors to various interdisciplinary career paths. Many students explore online degrees that complement ecological knowledge with practical skills. For instance, professionals interested in healthcare systems may consider cahiim accredited health information management programs online to gain expertise in managing health data and improving public health outcomes.

For those seeking a direct entry into healthcare, programs identified as the easiest absn programs to get into offer accelerated routes to becoming a registered nurse. This can be a valuable asset for ecological scientists focused on human health and environmental interactions.

Certification also plays a significant role in advancing careers. Understanding the differences between credentials such as those highlighted in certified professional coder programs may be useful for professionals managing environmental health data or working within healthcare-related ecological studies.

Additionally, specialized certifications like the 1 year post master's fnp online programs provide advanced clinical knowledge quickly. These can complement an ecological and evolutionary biology background for those interested in integrating healthcare and environmental science careers.
