The aim of Systematic Biology is to expand the discussion of research in Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetic tree, Phylogenetics, Ecology and Zoology. Evolutionary biology research featured in Systematic Biology incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Lineage (evolution), Coalescent theory, Systematics, Phylogenomics and Cladistics. The Cladistics works, particularly on Cladogram are tackled in Systematic Biology.
The Phylogenetic tree works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Taxon, Statistics and Tree (data structure). Bayesian probability is a primary topic of Statistics research in it. The Phylogenetics research presented falls under the domain of Genetics.
Biogeography is part of Ecology studies tackled in it. Research on Biogeography addressed in it frequently intersections with the field of Vicariance. Specifically, studies on Taxonomy (biology) are prevalent in the Zoology works discussed.
The most cited publications are mainly concerned with subjects like Phylogenetic tree, Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetics, Statistics and Ecology. The journal papers address concerns in Phylogenetic tree which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Taxon, Zoology and Tree (data structure). The published articles explore research in Evolutionary biology alongside concepts in Coalescent theory and other areas of study in Tree rearrangement.
Systematic Biology is mainly concerned with subjects like Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetic tree, Phylogenetics, Coalescent theory and Phylogenomics. It explores issues in Evolutionary biology which can be linked to other research areas like Clade, Taxon, Lineage (evolution), Introgression and Gene flow. The studies on Phylogenetic tree discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Tree (data structure), Inference and Data set.
The subject of Biogeography, which is connected to the field of Biological dispersal, serves as the foundation of the Phylogenetics research featured in it. The work on Coalescent theory tackled in Systematic Biology brings together disciplines like Systematics, Statistics and Genome. In addition to Phylogenomics research, it aims to explore topics under Reticulate evolution, Tree of life, DNA sequencing and Monophyly.
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 Systematic Biology (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 Systematic Biology (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, 34.97% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 16.08% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.28% of all publications and 28.67% 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.
