The concepts of Botany, Taxon, Taxonomy (biology), Genus and Ecology are tackled in the journal. The studies in Botany featured incorporate elements of Zoology and Type (biology).
The published articles cover a variety of subjects, including Botany, Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Taxon and Monophyly. While the most cited papers focused on Botany, they were also able to explore topics like Phylogenetics, Phylogenetic tree and Molecular phylogenetics. The journal articles facilitate discussions on Ecology that incorporate concepts from other fields like Phylogeography and Biological dispersal.
The objective of the journal is to combine knowledge in the areas of Botany, Evolutionary biology, Taxonomy (biology), Genus and Phylogenetics. The Botany study featured in the journal draws connections with the study of Type (biology). The journal explores issues in Evolutionary biology which can be linked to other research areas like Molecular phylogenetics, Clade and Phylogenetic tree.
Topics in Molecular phylogenetics explored in Taxon were investigated in conjunction with research in Systematics and Tribe (biology). The featured Phylogenetic tree studies mainly concentrate on Taxon but also cover areas of interest in Zoology. The study on Phylogenetics presented in Taxon intersects with the topics under Morphology (biology).
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 Taxon (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 Taxon (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, 22.50% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 38.71% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.06% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.74% of all publications and 35.48% 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)Exploring online degrees related to Plant Science and Agronomy can open doors to diverse and rewarding career paths. Just as the nursing field offers specialized pathways like direct entry MSN programs for non-nurses, plant science students can pursue specialized online education to enhance their expertise in areas such as sustainable agriculture and crop management.
When selecting an online program, it is essential to evaluate value and quality. For example, students interested in health sciences often compare programs on platforms like best value nursing education online WGU. Similarly, aspiring agronomists should consider accredited online degrees that offer flexibility and strong industry connections.
Career specialization can significantly impact earning potential. For instance, those aiming to become a functional medicine nurse practitioner salary reflects how focused skills drive market demand. Likewise, advanced knowledge in plant science can lead to lucrative roles in agricultural biotechnology or environmental consulting.
Understanding salary variations by specialty is crucial when planning your career. Insights like the DNP salary by specialty help professionals make informed decisions, and similar data can guide agronomists toward high-demand sectors and regions.
