Overview

Top Research Topics at World Rabbit Science?

Animal science, Weaning, Litter (animal), Feed conversion ratio and Veterinary medicine are the subjects of interest in World Rabbit Science. The majority of Animal science studies in World Rabbit Science are focused on the subject of Dry matter. It explores research in Weaning and the adjacent study of Crossbreed.

Some problems in Litter (animal) that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Fertility, Artificial insemination, Insemination and Reproduction. World Rabbit Science explores topics in Feed conversion ratio which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Food science and Live weight. Research on Veterinary medicine addressed in World Rabbit Science frequently intersections with the field of Breed.

  • Animal science (45.49%)
  • Weaning (18.17%)
  • Litter (animal) (15.52%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Harmonization of criteria and terminology in rabbit meat research. Revised proposal (285 citations)
  • HARMONIZATION OF CRITERIA AND TERMINOLOGY IN RABBIT MEAT RESEARCH (266 citations)
  • EUROPEAN REFERENCE METHOD FOR IN VIVO DETERMINATION OF DIET DIGESTIBILITY IN RABBITS (225 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at World Rabbit Science:

The journal publications are organized to reinforce research efforts on Animal science, Weaning, Food science, Veterinary medicine and Lactation. The published papers address concerns in Animal science which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Feed conversion ratio and Weight gain. The most cited papers facilitate discussions on Lactation that incorporate concepts from other fields like Endocrinology, Internal medicine and Reproduction.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Ecology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

World Rabbit Science investigates areas of study like Animal science, Rabbit (cipher), Litter (animal), Genotype and Single-nucleotide polymorphism. Aside from investigating topics in Post weaning under Animal science, World Rabbit Science also explores concepts in Rabbit (nuclear engineering). It holds forums on Rabbit (cipher) that merges themes from other disciplines such as Quality (business), Regional science and Agriculture.

While the primary focus in the journal is Litter (animal), it also dissects topics surrounding Embryo and Andrology as a whole. Genotype research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Valine and Animal breeding. The research on Single-nucleotide polymorphism tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Crossbreed and Myogenin.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Litter size component traits in two Algerian rabbit lines (1 citations)
  • Hierarchical clustering as a tool to develop a classification scheme for rabbit meat quality (0 citations)
  • Pathological changes and antigen localization in the small intestine of rabbits infected with Eimeria magna (0 citations)

Papers citation over time

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, 31.58% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 7.69% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 23.08% of all publications and 69.23% 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.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Students pursuing Animal Science and Veterinary studies often explore diverse career pathways that intersect with health, rehabilitation, and clinical care. For instance, an online kinesiology degree can provide complementary knowledge in animal movement and rehabilitation, offering a valuable skill set for careers in animal physical therapy or wellness.

Healthcare roles associated with animal and human well-being often require practical, accredited training programs. Those interested in nursing support roles might find accredited lpn programs easy to get into, a strategic choice for quick entry into the healthcare sector. These programs can open doors to veterinary technician roles or human healthcare, enhancing career flexibility.

Veterinarians and animal scientists may also engage in interdisciplinary work involving communication and therapy. Programs like an online speech pathology bachelor degree for veterans highlight opportunities for those interested in rehabilitation sciences, showing the diverse applications of therapeutic sciences beyond traditional veterinary roles.

Moreover, mental health is a critical component of comprehensive care. Aspiring professionals can consider top-tier best pmhnp programs that emphasize strong clinical placements, which prepare graduates to support psychological well-being in both human and animal health contexts.
