The aim of the journal is to expand the discussion of research in Forestry, Botany, Agroforestry, Eucalyptus and Agronomy. Topics in Forestry were tackled in line with various other fields like Biomass (ecology), Woodland and Woody plant. The research on Botany discussed in Southern Forests draws on the closely related field of Horticulture.
Southern Forests addresses concerns in Agroforestry which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Productivity and Sustainability. Sowing is a primary topic of Agronomy research in it. The Pinus patula study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Fusarium circinatum.
The study of Canker serves as the foundation of the Fusarium circinatum research discussed in Southern Forests.
The published articles investigate studies in Agroforestry, Forestry, Eucalyptus, Botany and Sowing. In addition to Forestry research, the most cited articles aim to explore topics under Biomass (ecology) and Sustainability. Pulp (paper) and Allometry are some topics wherein Botany research discussed in the journal papers has an impact.
Southern Forests was organized to reinforce research efforts on Forestry, Agroforestry, Agronomy, Woodland and Productivity. The studies on Forestry discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Volume estimation, Atlantic forest, Coppicing, Plant litter and Dry forest. It is focused mainly on Agroforestry, particularly Silviculture.
Genetic diversity and Genotype are some topics wherein Agronomy research discussed in the journal have an impact. The research on Woodland tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Tree (data structure) and Sustainability. The concepts on Productivity presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Frost and Agricultural economics.
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 Southern Forests (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 Southern Forests (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, 15.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 58.82% 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 23.53% of all publications and 17.65% 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.
