Botany, Symbiosis, Ecology, Bacteria and Nitrogen fixation are the subjects of interest in the journal. Symbiosis explores issues in Botany which can be linked to other research areas like Inoculation, Mycorrhiza and Rhizobiaceae. Inoculation research presented falls under the umbrella topic of Horticulture.
It holds forums on Mycorrhiza that merges themes from other disciplines such as Glomus and Phycomycetes. While Symbiosis is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Zoology, Fungus and Rhizobium. As a part of Symbiosis, discussions in Ecology involve topics like Host (biology), Mutualism (biology) and Ecology (disciplines).
While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Bacteria, it also covered topics in Biochemistry and Microbiology. The featured Nitrogen fixation studies mainly concentrate on Agronomy but also cover areas of interest in Microbial inoculant. The journal connects research in Lichen with the related topic of Thallus.
The main points discussed in the most cited papers deal with Botany, Symbiosis, Ecology, Nitrogen fixation and Bacteria. The journal publications focus on Botany but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Host (biology) and Mycorrhiza. While the primary focus in the journal articles is Symbiosis, they also dissect topics surrounding Inoculation and Rhizosphere as a whole.
The topics of Ecology, Zoology, Botany, Symbiosis and Host (biology) are the focal point of discussions in Symbiosis. The journal addresses concerns in the field of Zoology by exploring it in line with topics in Bacteroidetes which intersect with Proteobacteria subjects. The Botany works, particularly on Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense are tackled in it.
In it, Inoculation, Shoot, Horticulture and Microbial inoculant are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Symbiosis research. The research on Horticulture featured in it combines topics in other fields like Rhizophagus irregularis, Axenic, Hypha and Spore. Some problems in Host (biology) that were presented in Symbiosis overlapped with concepts under Obligate, Pollination and Taxon.
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 Symbiosis (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 Symbiosis (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, 6.10% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 14.29% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.19% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.58% of all publications and 64.94% 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.

(2021)For those interested in Plant Science and Agronomy, exploring related fields such as nutrition and dietetics can open diverse career opportunities. Advanced knowledge in these areas complements agricultural expertise by focusing on the human and environmental impact of food production and consumption.
Students seeking to enhance their credentials may consider an online masters in nutrition and dietetics, which offers specialized insight into nutrient science and diet planning. This degree can be a valuable asset for professionals aiming to influence public health, food policy, or agribusiness sustainability.
For those starting their educational journey, earning an online dietitian degree provides foundational knowledge essential for careers in dietetics or wellness industries. Many programs also offer the flexibility to study at your own pace.
Cost is an important consideration, and there are many best online registered dietitian programs designed to deliver quality education without excessive financial burden. These affordable options help broaden access to nutrition-related careers.
For those eager to expedite their entry into the field, choosing an accelerated nutrition degree online can significantly reduce the time commitment, making it easier to balance studies with professional or personal responsibilities.
