Purpose Taking the original data of 36 issues of journal articles published from 2018 to 2023 in Journal of Yunnan Agricultural University (Natural Science) as the research object, to explore the inherent rules of journal articles and provide a quantitative basis for further improving the influence of the journal.
Methods Using the Individual Journal Influence Statistical Analysis Database of China National Knowledge Infrastructure and other relevant measurement data, quantitative analysis of the number of articles published in the journal, the distribution of articles columns, the sources of articles, the geographical distribution of authors, and funding projects were carried out.
Results From 2018 to 2023, a total of 883 articles were published, with an average page number of 7.54 per article. The columns of soil fertility and plant protection had high citations and downloads. There was only one article published by independent author, and other articles were co-authored papers, with an average collaboration degree of 6.28 and an average co-authorship rate of 99.88%. Intermediate and associate senior professional title authors, as well as postgraduates, were the main author groups of the journal. The authors were distributed in 31 provincial administrative regions of China, among them, the authors from Yunnan Province published the highest number of articles, as well as the highest number of authors and articles within the university. The proportion of various fund projects was as high as 99.57%.
