Overview

Top Research Topics at Ringing and Migration?

The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Ecology, Zoology, Fishery, Juvenile and Feather. In addition to Ecology research, Ringing and Migration aims to explore topics under Acrocephalus and Biological dispersal. While the journal focused on Zoology, it was also able to explore topics like Biometrics and Ageing.

The journal connects the study in Fishery with the closely related area of Bird ringing. The journal focuses on Bird ringing research which is adjacent to topics in Annual report.

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, 0.00% 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 100.00% 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.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

For students interested in Ecology and Evolution, expanding skill sets through interdisciplinary education can open diverse career opportunities. Many professionals complement their scientific background with management or healthcare-related degrees to enhance their leadership and administrative capabilities.

Programs like a fast online master's in healthcare management offer accelerated tracks for those wanting to quickly gain expertise in managing health services, which is valuable for roles in environmental health organizations or public agencies.

For ecological professionals pursuing healthcare pathways, enrolling in a 12 month fnp program online can be an efficient route into nursing practice with a focus on family care. Further specialization is also possible, such as transitioning from FNP to acute care certification, which expands clinical opportunities in acute and environmental health settings.

Beyond clinical roles, a bachelor of science in health information management salary overview highlights the growing demand for experts who can manage complex environmental and health data, a crucial aspect in research and policy-making careers connected to ecology and public health intersections.
