The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Paleontology, Archaeology, Genus, Ecology and Humanities. Paleontology research discussed connects with the study of Fauna. Ameghiniana is mostly focused on Archaeology, specifically Pleistocene.
Genus is the topic of focus in Botany and Zoology research tackled in Ameghiniana. The Biostratigraphy study featured in Ameghiniana draws parallels with the field of Paleozoic. In addition to Paleozoic research, Ameghiniana aims to explore topics under Permian and Carboniferous.
The most cited papers explore disciplines such as Paleontology, Humanities, Ecology, Cretaceous and Archaeology. While the published papers focused on Paleontology, they were also able to explore topics like Fauna and Genus. Ecology study tackled in the most cited publications is connected to the field of Botany.
The journal mostly deals with topics like Paleontology, Gondwana, Taxon, Archaeology and Structural basin. Most of the Paleontology studies addressed also intersect with Genus. The Gondwana works featured in Ameghiniana incorporate elements from Palynology, Sedimentary rock, Outcrop, Permian and Devonian.
The work on Taxon tackled in it brings together disciplines like Zoology and Southern Hemisphere. The research on Archaeology featured in it combines topics in other fields like Homunculus patagonicus, Sparassodonta, Metatheria, Micropaleontology and Humerus. The featured Pleistocene studies mainly concentrate on Quaternary but also cover areas of interest in Context (language use).
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 Ameghiniana (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 Ameghiniana (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, 31.58% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 69.23% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.54% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 11.54% of all publications and 7.69% 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)For those interested in Earth Science, pursuing related online degrees can open doors to diverse career options. Many programs offer flexible entry requirements, with some online graduate schools with low GPA requirements providing opportunities for students who may not meet traditional criteria. This accessibility helps learners from varied academic backgrounds advance their studies.
One popular pathway is earning a GIS degree. Geographic Information Systems skills are crucial for analyzing spatial data, widely used in environmental management, urban planning, and disaster response. A solid foundation in GIS enhances your ability to work with cutting-edge technology in Earth Science fields.
Those focused on core Earth Science principles might consider geology online degree programs. These programs combine theoretical knowledge with practical applications, preparing graduates for careers in resource management, environmental consulting, and geotechnical engineering.
While not directly related to Earth Science, the fastest BCBA program offers an example of how accelerated online master's degrees can serve professionals seeking specialized certification quickly. Exploring such options can inspire students to find the right pace and format for their education journey.
