The scientific interests tackled in the journal are Paleontology, Glacial period, Holocene, Oceanography and Geomorphology. Pleistocene, Quaternary, Interglacial, Stadial and Eemian are all subfields of Paleontology research that were featured in Boreas. Topics in Glacial period were tackled in line with various other fields like Sedimentary rock, Chronology and Ice sheet.
The Ice sheet works featured in it incorporate elements from Sea ice, Ice shelf, Ice stream and Antarctic sea ice. While the journal focused on Holocene, it was also able to explore topics like Ecology, Climatology and Radiocarbon dating. Vegetation and Pollen are among the concentrations of Ecology that garnered much attention in it.
The journal links adjacent topics like Radiocarbon dating with Peat. Topics in Oceanography explored in Boreas were investigated in conjunction with research in Sediment and Marine transgression. The research on Geomorphology discussed in it draws on the closely related field of Geochemistry.
The most cited papers aim to foster the development of research in Glacial period, Paleontology, Holocene, Geomorphology and Oceanography. Issues in Glacial period were discussed in the journal publications, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Quaternary and Pleistocene. The most cited publications deal with Holocene in conjunction with Pollen and similar fields in Woodland.
The journal focuses largely on the fields of Holocene, Paleontology, Glacial period, Oceanography and Geochemistry. It facilitates discussions on Holocene that incorporate concepts from other fields like Glacier, Climate change, Ecological succession and Far East. Boreas facilitated presentations on Paleontology research, particularly Deglaciation and Pleistocene.
In addition to Deglaciation research, the journal aims to explore topics under Continental shelf, Landform and Ice sheet. The study of Chronology and how it intertwines with concepts under Structural basin were explored in the presented Glacial period research. The Oceanography study featured in the journal draws connections with the study of Sediment.
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 Boreas (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 Boreas (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, 1.23% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 26.25% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 15.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 21.25% of all publications and 37.50% 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 diverse career paths. Graduates can explore roles in conservation, sustainability, policy-making, and research. For those seeking to specialize further, understanding types of therapist degrees can be beneficial, especially if combining environmental work with mental health counseling focused on ecological grief or community wellness.
Another relevant pathway is becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner, which offers opportunities to address mental health in affected populations. The pmhnp salary by state highlights the growing demand and compensation variations that might influence career decisions.
For students considering advanced education, pursuing one of the masters of psychology online programs provide flexible options to deepen expertise in environmental psychology and human behaviors impacting ecosystems.
Ultimately, understanding what jobs can you get with an environmental science degree helps align your studies with practical career goals, ensuring your education leads to impactful and rewarding work.
