Overview

Top Research Topics at Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports?

Veterinary medicine, Zoology, Feces, Veterinary parasitology and Serology are among the topics commonly tackled in the journal. Helminths, Seroprevalence and Toxoplasma gondii are some topics wherein Veterinary medicine research discussed in the journal have an impact. While Seroprevalence is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Prevalence and Neospora caninum.

It focuses on Toxoplasma gondii research which is adjacent to topics in Toxoplasmosis. The research on Zoology tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Nematode, Host (biology) and Tick. Specifically, studies on Cryptosporidium are prevalent in the Feces works discussed.

It investigates Veterinary parasitology research which frequently intersects with Parasitism. The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Serology, apply to Virology as well. While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Anthelmintic, it also covered topics in Levamisole and Ivermectin.

  • Veterinary medicine (54.02%)

  • Zoology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The primary areas of discussion in Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports are Veterinary medicine, Zoology, Feces, Tick and Toxoplasma gondii. Herd is part of Veterinary medicine studies tackled in it. In addition to Zoology research, Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports aims to explore topics under Fauna, Larva and Mitochondrial DNA.

Topics in Feces were tackled in line with various other fields like Eimeria, Ivermectin, Diarrhea and Anthelmintic. The study of Tick encompasses disciplines such as Theileria, as well as fields such as Babesia, all of which overlap with one another.

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, 6.16% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 17.52% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 16.79% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.52% of all publications and 48.18% 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.
