The journal mostly deals with topics like Ecology, Forestry, National park, Habitat and Zoology. Species richness, Predation, Vegetation, Dry season and Species diversity are some of the study areas of Ecology discussed. Many of the studies tackled connect Dry season with a similar field of study like Wet season.
National park research discussed connects with the study of Environmental protection.
The most cited publications aim to foster the development of research in Ecology, National park, Forestry, Habitat and Vegetation. Ecology studies presented in the journal publications include Predation, Dry season, Herbivore, Woodland and Wet season. The studies on National park discussed at the most cited publications can also contribute to research in the domains of Demography, Grazing and Home range.
African Journal of Ecology investigates studies in Ecology, Zoology, National park, Agroforestry and Habitat. African Journal of Ecology aims to address concerns in Ecology, specifically in the areas of Ecosystem, Abundance (ecology), Camera trap, Threatened species and Carnivore. African Journal of Ecology explores issues in National park which can be linked to other research areas like Forestry and Home range.
The research on Agroforestry featured in African Journal of Ecology combines topics in other fields like Woodland and Tree species.
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 African Journal of Ecology (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 African Journal of Ecology (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, 1.52% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 31.54% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 16.92% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 10.77% of all publications and 40.77% 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.

(2020)Exploring environmental sciences in the USA opens up diverse educational and career opportunities. Many students consider interdisciplinary paths, such as combining environmental knowledge with counseling skills. For those interested, understanding different types of counseling degrees can help tailor a career that supports environmental advocacy through community engagement and mental health support.
Online education offers flexible options for advancing your studies. Programs like the masters psychology online can complement environmental science degrees, particularly in areas related to eco-psychology or behavioral change strategies to promote sustainability.
Career outcomes for environmental science graduates are promising, with a variety of roles in research, policy, and conservation. To understand the potential career trajectories, consider resources like what can you do with an environmental science degree, which outlines practical job options and growth sectors.
For those combining healthcare and environmental concerns, roles such as psychiatric nurse practitioners are also relevant. Reviewing data on psych np salary by state can provide insight into regional demand and compensation, guiding decisions about where to study and work.
