Overview

Top Research Topics at Zoosystema?

Zoosystema is mainly concerned with subjects like Ecology, Taxonomy (biology), Zoology, Humanities and Crustacean. Fauna, Gastropoda, Taxon, Mollusca and Habitat are some of the facets of Ecology tackled in Zoosystema. Topics in Taxonomy (biology) explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Pacific ocean, Indian ocean and Geographic distribution.

Genus and Type species are among the areas of Zoology tackled. The journal focuses on Genus research which is adjacent to topics in Key (lock). Crustacean studies presented include Decapoda and Carapace.

Decapoda research discussed connects with the study of Shrimp.

  • Ecology (36.67%)
  • Taxonomy (biology) (36.31%)
  • Zoology (33.66%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Phylogeny of the Megascolecidae and Crassiclitellata (Annelida, Oligochaeta): combined versus partitioned analysis using nuclear (28S) and mitochondrial (12S, 16S) rDNA (85 citations)
  • Ascidians from the tropical western Pacific (80 citations)
  • Evolution of the abdominal holding systems of brachyuran crabs (Crustacea, Decapoda, Brachyura) (79 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Zoosystema:

The most cited articles tackle a plethora of topics, such as Taxonomy (biology), Humanities, Zoology, Ecology and Crustacean. The journal papers connects the study in Taxonomy (biology) with the closely related areas of Geographic distribution. Aside from discussions in Humanities, the journal papers also deal with the subject of Pacific ocean which intersects with Indian ocean disciplines.

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

  • Genus
  • Ecology
  • Zoology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The aim of Zoosystema is to expand the discussion of research in Zoology, Genus, Ecology, Archaeology and Taxonomy (biology). Zoosystema covers research in Zoology, particularly Hymenoptera, Conopidae and Squamata and how they are related with concepts in Sicus and Emoia cyanura. Spider and DNA barcoding are some topics wherein Genus research discussed in Zoosystema have an impact.

In Zoosystema, Possession (law) and Groundwater are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Ecology research. The studies on Archaeology discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Abundance (ecology), Allopatric speciation, Sympatry and Genetic data. Interdisciplinary research on topics like Taxonomy (biology) and Ile de france are the foci of the journal.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Distinctive Collembola Communities in the Mesovoid Shallow Substratum: Entomobryomorpha of the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park (Central Spain) (2 citations)

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, 8.33% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 27.27% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 9.09% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 27.27% of all publications and 36.36% 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.
