Publication chance based on affiliation

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, 16.95% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 16.33% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.16% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.41% of all publications and 55.10% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

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.

Returning Institution Index

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.

The experience to innovation index

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:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

Career Opportunities in Aquatic Sciences

One of the fascinating aspects of a career in aquatic sciences is its diversity. The field offers numerous career opportunities ranging from research, aquaculture, fisheries management, conservation, to nutrition. For example, one can choose to pursue a career as a nutritionist in the field. This role involves analyzing, developing, and implementing dietary strategies for aquatic species to ensure their optimal growth and health, considering the species' dietary requirements and environmental factors. In particular, becoming a nutritionist in aquatic sciences can be more promising in certain regions. For instance, working as a nutritionist in Kentucky, a state known for its rich resources in aquaculture and fisheries, can provide a multitude of opportunities for career advancement and growth. For those aspiring to start their journey, the first step is understanding the educational and professional requirements involved in the career path. To enlightify this, we have created a comprehensive guide on how long does it take to become a nutritionist in Kentucky. This guide provides invaluable information on the required education, licensing and certification, internships, and possible career opportunities, among other crucial aspects. Irrespective of the chosen career path, the Turkish Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences provides an excellent resource for those who wish to delve deeper into the aquatic sciences and stay abreast with the latest trends, research, and innovations in the field.
