Overview

Top Research Topics at Wetlands Ecology and Management?

The foci of Wetlands Ecology and Management are Wetland, Ecology, Hydrology, Mangrove and Habitat. While the primary focus in it is Wetland, it also dissects topics surrounding Agronomy and Nutrient as a whole. The journal features Ecology research that overlaps with concepts in Fishery.

Some problems in Hydrology that were presented in Wetlands Ecology and Management overlapped with concepts under Peat and Sediment. The featured Mangrove studies mainly concentrate on Botany but also cover areas of interest in Horticulture. Wetlands Ecology and Management emphasizes research on Vegetation, which includes concerns such as Plant community.

The Estuary research discussed is included in the broader subject of Oceanography. The Marsh study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Salt marsh. The study on Species richness presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Species diversity.

  • Wetland (49.80%)
  • Ecology (44.62%)
  • Hydrology (27.10%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Satellite remote sensing of wetlands (809 citations)
  • Wetlands and global climate change: the role of wetland restoration in a changing world (715 citations)
  • Multispectral and hyperspectral remote sensing for identification and mapping of wetland vegetation: a review (571 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Wetlands Ecology and Management:

The published articles mostly deal with topics like Ecology, Wetland, Hydrology, Mangrove and Marsh. The most cited papers hold forums on Wetland that merge themes from other disciplines such as Environmental resource management, Ecosystem, Vegetation and Habitat. In addition to Mangrove research, the most cited articles aim to explore topics under Biomass (ecology), Botany and Ecosystem services.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Ecology
  • Wetland
  • Botany

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Wetlands Ecology and Management aims to foster the development of research in Wetland, Ecology, Habitat, Vegetation and Hydrology. The main emphasis of Wetlands Ecology and Management is the subject of Wetland, focusing on Marsh. The subject of Species richness, which is connected to the field of Plant community, Benthic zone and Peat, serves as the foundation of the Habitat research featured in the journal.

Macrophyte, Biodiversity, Biomass (ecology), Reed bed and Grazing are some topics wherein Vegetation research discussed in Wetlands Ecology and Management have an impact. It facilitates discussions on Hydrology that incorporate concepts from other fields like Primary production, Climate change and Growing season. The studies in Mangrove featured incorporate elements of Abundance (ecology) and Salinity.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • An evaluation of water quality at Sandhill Wetland: implications for reclaiming wetlands above soft tailings deposits in northern Alberta, Canada (4 citations)
  • Ensuring the adaptive potential of Coastal wetlands of India- the need of the hour for sustainable management (4 citations)
  • Potential distribution of aquatic invasive alien plants, Eichhornia crassipes and Salvinia molesta under climate change in Sri Lanka (3 citations)

Papers citation over time

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 Wetlands Ecology and Management (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Takashi Asaeda (15 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Rubén J. Lara (12 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Eric Wolanski (12 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Line Rochefort (10 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Patricia Ellen Dale (9 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition.

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 Wetlands Ecology and Management (based on the number of publications) are:

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, 12.50% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 12.86% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 2.86% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.29% of all publications and 70.00% 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.
