Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases is mainly concerned with subjects like Tick, Virology, Zoology, Veterinary medicine and Ixodes ricinus. Topics in Tick were tackled in line with various other fields like Nymph, Borrelia burgdorferi and Rickettsia. Spotted fever is a major topic of Rickettsia research presented in the journal.
The subject of Anaplasma phagocytophilum, which is connected to the field of Anaplasmosis, serves as the foundation of the Virology research featured in the journal. It holds forums on Zoology that merges themes from other disciplines such as Ecology, Host (biology) and Phylogenetic tree. Babesia, Tick-borne disease, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Rhipicephalus microplus and Anaplasma are all subfields of Veterinary medicine research that were featured in Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases.
The journal facilitates discussions on Babesia that incorporate concepts from other fields like Babesiosis and Theileria. Rickettsia helvetica and Ricinus are some topics wherein Ixodes ricinus research discussed in Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases have an impact. Ixodidae studies covered in Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases falls within the purview of Acari.
The most cited articles mostly deal with topics like Tick, Virology, Veterinary medicine, Ixodes ricinus and Zoology. The most cited publications facilitate discussions on Tick that incorporate concepts from other fields like Nymph and Microbiology. The journal publications address concerns in the field of Virology by exploring it in line with topics in Borrelia burgdorferi which intersect with Lyme disease subjects.
The main research concerns discussed in the journal are Tick, Zoology, Rickettsia, Phylogenetic tree and Virology. The journal connects the study in Tick with the closely related area of Acari. Some problems in Zoology that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Trophic level, Host (biology) and Genotype.
Rickettsia research in Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases involves the investigation of Amblyomma studies, all of which are linked to disciplines such as Rickettsiaceae. Phylogenetic tree research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Evolutionary biology, Ixodes, Ixodes persulcatus and DNA sequencing. The Virology works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Epidemiological surveillance and Epidemiology.
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 Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases (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 Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases (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 2022 edition, 5.56% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 29.41% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 17.65% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 35.29% 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.

(2021)For students interested in expanding their knowledge beyond Animal Science and Veterinary studies, several related online degrees offer versatile career options. Those passionate about health and movement may explore the best online kinesiology degree programs. These prepare graduates for careers in rehabilitation, sports, and fitness, complementing animal health fields where anatomy and physiology intersect.
For a more direct entry into healthcare support roles, exploring which lpn programs are easiest to get into can be valuable. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) credentials open paths in clinical settings that often work closely with veterinary technicians and laboratory animal caregivers.
Veterans or those seeking military-friendly education may find the list of military friendly online speech pathology degree programs particularly helpful. These programs support careers in communication disorders, which can somewhat parallel rehabilitation specialties in animal therapy.
Lastly, mental health is an emerging focus, and the best online pmhnp programs provide pathways to becoming psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners. This advanced healthcare role shares the caregiving ethos essential in any veterinary or animal science profession.
