Overview

Top Research Topics at Scandinavian Journal of Forest Research?

Scandinavian Journal of Forest Research primarily focuses on research topics in Botany, Forestry, Picea abies, Horticulture and Scots pine. The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Botany, apply to Agronomy as well. Scandinavian Journal of Forest Research focuses on Agronomy as well as the interrelated topic of Nutrient.

Forestry research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Agroforestry and Ecology. In particular, the Ecology works presented emphasize discussions on Habitat. The journal links adjacent topics like Picea abies with Karst.

The Horticulture study tackling the subject of Sowing is the focus of it. The study on Scots pine presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Woody plant. The research on Forest management discussed in the journal draws on the closely related field of Environmental resource management.

  • Botany (37.59%)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Scandinavian Journal of Forest Research:

The journal papers tackle a plethora of topics, such as Botany, Forestry, Picea abies, Scots pine and Agronomy. While Botany is the focus of the journal publications, it also provides insights into the studies of Thinning and Horticulture. The published papers address concerns in Forestry which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Ecology and Coarse woody debris.

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Statistics

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal explores disciplines such as Forestry, Botany, Forest management, Pinus and Agronomy. Concepts in Habitat, as well as related topics in Survey data collection and Foraging, are covered in the Forestry research presented in the journal. Research on Botany addressed in the journal frequently intersections with the field of Latitude.

More specifically, the research on Pinus in Scandinavian Journal of Forest Research is related to Scots pine. The research on Scots pine tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Juvenile, Picea abies, Karst, Competition (biology) and Understory. While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Agronomy, it also covered topics in Vegetation, Nutrient, Deschampsia flexuosa and Quercus robur L..

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Maximum entropy-based forest fire likelihood mapping: analysing the trends, distribution, and drivers of forest fires in Sikkim Himalaya. (3 citations)
  • Stakeholder perceptions, management and impacts of forestry conflicts in southern Sweden (3 citations)
  • Keeping mixtures of Norway spruce and birch in production forests: insights from survey data (2 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.

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, 10.20% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 40.91% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 13.64% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.64% of all publications and 31.82% 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.
