The main points discussed in South African Journal of Botany deals with Botany, Ecology, Traditional medicine, Horticulture and Agronomy. Taxonomy (biology), Germination, Genus, Shoot and Taxon are all areas of Botany tackled in it. Studies on Germination discussed in South African Journal of Botany link to the field of Seedling.
South African Journal of Botany dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Shoot and Explant culture. South African Journal of Botany explores research in Ecology and the adjacent study of Cape. The work on Traditional medicine tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like DPPH, Antioxidant and Antimicrobial.
South African Journal of Botany features studies on DPPH, including topics such as ABTS. The study on Antioxidant presented in the journal intersects with subjects under the field of Food science.
The journal articles mainly deal with areas of study such as Botany, Ecology, Agronomy, Traditional medicine and Horticulture. While Traditional medicine is the focus of the journal papers, it also provides insights into the studies of DPPH, Antimicrobial, Antibacterial activity and Biochemistry. The most cited papers focus on Horticulture but sometimes tackle the closely related topic of Photosynthesis which is concerned with Proline.
South African Journal of Botany mainly tackles studies in Traditional medicine, Horticulture, Phytochemical, Food science and Germination. Traditional medicine research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Quercetin, Antioxidant, Anti-inflammatory, Ethyl acetate and Essential oil. The studies on Horticulture discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Proline and Glutathione reductase.
The study of Phytochemical encompasses disciplines such as Genus, as well as fields such as Family Asteraceae, Immune regulation, Ornamental plant, Antifungal and Pharmacology, all of which overlap with one another. Issues in Germination were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Parrotia and Water content. The presented Shoot research focuses mostly on Waterlogging (agriculture) and, on occasion, topics in Photosynthesis.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in South African Journal of Botany (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in South African Journal of Botany (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
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 2022 edition, 22.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.64% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.13% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.38% of all publications and 53.85% were from other institutions.
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.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
