The journal covers a variety of subjects, including Ecology, Zoology, Predation, Hylidae and Habitat. South American Journal of Herpetology encompasses presentations on Ecology, specifically Squamata, Genus, Lizard, Abundance (ecology) and Species richness. It connects research in Lizard with the related topic of Liolaemidae.
South American Journal of Herpetology explores topics in Zoology which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Taxon, Reproductive biology and Reproduction. The studies in Hypsiboas under the umbrella field of Hylidae overlap with concepts in Advertising. Most of the Taxonomy (biology) studies addressed also intersect with Anatomy.
Dorsum and Snout are all topics related to Anatomy research discussed. It dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Sexual dimorphism and Sexual maturity.
The most cited publications are mainly concerned with subjects like Ecology, Zoology, Predation, Genus and Habitat. Lepidobatrachus, Ceratophryidae, Monophyly and Ceratophrys are some topics wherein Zoology research discussed in the published papers has an impact. The journal papers focus on Genus but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Squamata and Foramen.
The journal is mainly concerned with subjects like Zoology, Predation, Ecology, Genus and Habitat. While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Zoology, it also covered topics in Trophic level, Foraging and Catalase. While the journal focused on Predation, it was also able to explore topics like Sexual bimaturism, Sexual dimorphism, Bothrops jararaca and Wet season.
Data deficient and Introduced species are some of the study areas of Ecology discussed. The research on Genus tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Evolutionary biology, Liolaemidae, Clade, Taxon and Endemism. Issues in Habitat were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Agriculture, Ecology (disciplines) and Climate change.
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 American Journal of Herpetology (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 American Journal of Herpetology (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 2021 edition, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 38.10% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 14.29% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 28.57% of all publications and 19.05% 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.

(2020)For those drawn to Ecology and Evolution, there are various adjacent online educational paths that offer rewarding career options. Programs like online ultrasound tech programs provide specialized training in healthcare technology, blending science with practical skills. This can be an excellent route for students interested in biological systems and technical applications.
Similarly, many find a natural progression into healthcare through online associate nursing programs. These prepare students for direct patient care and health science roles that complement ecological health and environmental factors impacting human well-being.
For advanced leadership roles, pursuing a phd healthcare can open doors in research, policy, and administration, integrating ecological insights into healthcare management and sustainability initiatives.
Additionally, accelerated pathways such as the 1 year pmhnp program online offer fast-tracked specialization in psychiatric-mental health nursing, highlighting the interplay between environmental stressors and mental health outcomes.
