Ecology, Agronomy, Botany, Horticulture and Soil water are among the topics commonly tackled in the journal. It focuses on different Ecology studies like Habitat, Ecosystem, Vegetation, Species richness and Species diversity. While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Agronomy, it also covered topics in Nitrogen, Nutrient, Soil fertility and Water content.
The majority of Botany studies in the journal are focused on the subject of Photosynthesis. Research in the field of Soil science was used to conduct the presented Soil water study.
The published papers mostly deal with topics like Ecology, Agronomy, Botany, Vegetation and Ecosystem. The study on Ecology presented in the most cited articles is investigated in conjunction with research in Physical geography. While work presented in the most cited papers provide substantial information on Botany, it also covers topics in Biomass (ecology) and Horticulture.
Acta Ecologica Sinica aims to foster the development of research in Ecology, Hydrology, China, Agronomy and Horticulture. Horticulture research discussed connects with the study of Essential oil.
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 Acta Ecologica Sinica (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 Acta Ecologica Sinica (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, 67.77% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 6.30% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 3.94% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 2.36% of all publications and 87.40% 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)Studying Environmental Sciences in the USA opens doors to various interdisciplinary career pathways. For students interested in health within environmental contexts, environmental health and safety online degree programs offer specialized training focused on workplace safety and public health, blending science with policy and management.
Beyond environmental science, some graduates explore related fields such as counseling, where degrees like marriage and family therapy master's programs online provide avenues to support individuals and families facing psychological and social challenges. Understanding these pathways can be valuable for those interested in holistic environmental and community wellness.
Further specialization can include behavioral analysis, with resources highlighting bcba masters programs that develop skills in applied behavior analysis, useful in educational and clinical settings. This complements environmental work where behavior change supports conservation and sustainability efforts.
For those uncertain about which counseling degree suits their career goals, reviewing information on different counseling degrees can clarify options. Combining environmental science with counseling expertise creates unique, impactful roles focused on both environmental and human health.
