Overview

Top Research Topics at Wildlife Monographs?

Wildlife Monographs focuses largely on the fields of Ecology, Predation, Habitat, Wildlife and Range (biology). The work on Ecology addressed in Wildlife Monographs expands to the thematically related Grizzly Bears. Predation research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Zoology, Population density and Ungulate.

Topics in Zoology explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Desert bighorn sheep, Aythya and Juvenile. The tackled Habitat research is interrelated with Abundance (ecology) which concerns subjects like Reproductive success. Wildlife research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Antilocapra americana and Antler.

While it focused on Range (biology), it was also able to explore topics like Northern spotted owl, Physical geography and Home range. Wildlife Monographs tackles studies in Anas and the interrelated subject of Grassland, Northern shoveler and Waterfowl to gain insights into Nest. The Population decline research presented in Wildlife Monographs explores the relationship between Reproduction and the closely related topic of Anatidae and Animal science.

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 Wildlife Monographs (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Gary C. White (12 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Charles C. Schwartz (10 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Larry L. Irwin (8 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Mark A. Haroldson (8 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • John G. Cook (6 papers) absent 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 Wildlife Monographs (based on the number of publications) are:

  • United States Geological Survey (15 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • United States Fish and Wildlife Service (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Colorado State University (6 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • University of Montana (4 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • National Park Service (4 papers) absent at the last edition.

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.

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, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 66.67% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 33.33% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 0.00% 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.
