The journal facilitates discussions on Ecology, Zoology, Nest, Habitat and Predation. The Wilson Journal of Ornithology aims to address concerns in Ecology, specifically in the areas of Foraging, Seasonal breeder, Range (biology), Avian clutch size and Abundance (ecology). Research on Zoology presented in The Wilson Journal of Ornithology focuses, in particular, on Plumage, Brood and Feather.
While Nest is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Paternal care, Incubation and Reproductive success. It links adjacent topics like Habitat with Vegetation.
Ecology, Habitat, Nest, Zoology and Predation are the main subjects of interest in the journal publications. The works on Habitat tackled in the published papers bring together disciplines like Grassland, Sparrow and Species diversity. While Nest is the focus of the journal publications, it also provides insights into the studies of Parasitism and Reproductive success.
The scientific interests tackled in The Wilson Journal of Ornithology are Zoology, Nest, Ecology, Habitat and Seasonal breeder. Zoology research in it involves the investigation of Foraging studies, all of which are linked to disciplines such as Intraspecific competition and Hymenoptera. The work on Nest tackled in it brings together disciplines like Passerine, Hummingbird, Brood parasite and Predation.
Range (biology), Abundance (ecology), Phenology, Species richness and Biodiversity are all aspects of Ecology research featured in it. The Wilson Journal of Ornithology deals with Habitat in conjunction with Wetland and similar fields in Relative species abundance. The journal facilitates discussions on Seasonal breeder that incorporate concepts from other fields like Endangered species, Captivity and Seasonality.
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 The Wilson Journal of Ornithology (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 The Wilson Journal of Ornithology (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 2021 edition, 9.28% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 4.55% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.91% of all publications and 54.55% 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)Pursuing a degree in Animal Science or Veterinary studies opens doors to a variety of rewarding careers. For those passionate about working with animals, exploring careers with animals that pay well can provide valuable insights into high-demand jobs that combine passion with financial stability.
Beyond animal-related fields, many students consider complementary health professions. For example, nursing offers flexible pathways such as bsn completion programs, ideal for registered nurses aiming to advance their qualifications online.
For professionals interested in leadership and specialized clinical roles, online nursing doctorate programs present an excellent opportunity to gain advanced expertise without interrupting career momentum.
Additionally, for those focused on diet, health, and animal nutrition, exploring the best dietetics masters programs can complement a veterinary background and broaden career options in both human and animal health sectors.
