The discussions in Systematics and Biodiversity mainly cover the fields of Ecology, Zoology, Taxonomy (biology), Genus and Phylogenetics. It tackles issues in Ecology, particularly in the topics of Biodiversity, Taxon, Biogeography, Endemism and Systematics. The concepts on Zoology presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Cladistics, Monophyly and Molecular phylogenetics.
The Monophyly research presented falls under the domain of Clade. Systematics and Biodiversity explores topics in Taxonomy (biology) which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Species complex and DNA barcoding. The featured Genus research is covered under the field of Botany.
Systematics and Biodiversity addresses concerns in Phylogenetics which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Evolutionary biology, Morphology (biology) and Phylogenetic tree.
The main points discussed in the published papers deal with Ecology, Zoology, Phylogenetics, Phylogenetic tree and Biodiversity. The Ecology research tackled in the most cited publications is interrelated with Species complex which concerns subjects like DNA barcoding. The most cited publications address concerns in Phylogenetic tree which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Systematics, Host (biology) and Botany.
Systematics and Biodiversity investigates areas of study like Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetics, Genus, Zoology and Ecology. The research on Evolutionary biology featured in Systematics and Biodiversity combines topics in other fields like Range (biology), Diversity (politics), Species complex and Lizard. It focuses on Phylogenetics but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Botany, Biogeography and Morphology (biology).
In the journal, Taxonomy (biology), Systematics, Genetic algorithm and Phylogenetic tree are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Genus research. While work presented in Systematics and Biodiversity provided substantial information on Zoology, it also covered topics in Host specificity and Litostomatea. The research on Ecology tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Phylogeography and Genetic diversity.
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 Systematics and Biodiversity (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 Systematics and Biodiversity (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, 1.56% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 42.86% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.94% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 22.22% of all publications and 26.98% 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)Studying Ecology and Evolution opens doors to various interdisciplinary career paths that combine environmental science with healthcare and management fields. For those interested in leadership roles, pursuing a masters degree in healthcare management can provide the skills necessary to manage healthcare systems focused on environmental health impacts.
If hands-on healthcare appeals to you, consider exploring accelerated options like one year nurse practitioner programs. These programs offer a fast track to becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), where you can work closely with patients affected by ecological changes.
Advancing your clinical expertise is also possible through transitions such as fnp to acute care np, allowing practitioners to specialize in acute care settings. This can be vital when addressing environmental emergencies or disease outbreaks influenced by ecological factors.
For those interested in the administrative and data side, roles like Health Information Manager offer rewarding opportunities. Understanding the significance of health data in environmental contexts is critical, and learning more about health information manager salary and career paths can guide your decision to enter this growing field.
