Abstract

This original research article discusses the publication trends of research on the wasp spider, Argiope bruennichi (Scopoli, 1772), in specialized arachnological journals versus general scientific journals. Context on arachnological journals and their role in publishing spider-related research is introduced. It also introduces A. bruennichi as a widely recognized and easily identifiable spider species distributed across the Palearctic realm. The present study analyzed research articles published from 2019 to 2021 using Google Scholar, focusing on papers that included 'Argiope bruennichi' in their content. The results showed that a total of 79 research articles were identified during this period. Interestingly, the majority of these articles were published in general scientific journals rather than specialized arachnological journals. In 2019, 79% of the articles were published in general journals, while in 2020 and 2021, the percentages were 86% and 81% respectively. Upon careful analysis of the document, several unique and interesting insights emerge. First, this study highlights a shift in publication trends, with more spider-related research appearing in interdisciplinary journals rather than specialized arachnological publications. This suggests a growing interest in spider research across various scientific disciplines. Second, the choice of A. bruennichi as a focal species is noteworthy due to its wide distribution and accessibility, making it valuable for both expert and amateur studies. Lastly, the document points out the potential impact of new open-access online scientific journals on the relative prominence of traditional arachnological journals, indicating a changing landscape in scientific publishing within this field.
