Geotechnical engineering, Snow, Permafrost, Sea ice and Mechanics are among the topics commonly tackled in the journal. While Geotechnical engineering is the focus of Cold Regions Science and Technology, it also provided insights into the studies of Soil water and Stress (mechanics), Composite material. It focuses on Soil water research which is adjacent to topics in Water content.
While Cold Regions Science and Technology focused on Snow, it was also able to explore topics like Hydrology, Atmospheric sciences and Remote sensing. Cold Regions Science and Technology explores topics in Permafrost which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Global warming, Plateau, Thermal and Geomorphology. Arctic ice pack, Sea ice thickness, Antarctic sea ice, Drift ice and Fast ice are all areas of Sea ice tackled in Cold Regions Science and Technology.
The most cited papers mainly tackle studies in Geotechnical engineering, Snow, Soil water, Permafrost and Sea ice. While work presented in the most cited papers provide substantial information on Geotechnical engineering, it also covers topics in Compressive strength, Composite material and Elastic modulus. In addition to Snow research, the published articles aim to explore topics under Hydrology, Slab and Remote sensing.
Cold Regions Science and Technology generally zeroes in on subjects such as Thermal, Asphalt, Uniaxial compression, Composite material and Glacier. The studies in Thermal featured incorporate elements of Power (physics), Geotechnical engineering, Snow melting and Asphalt pavement. The journal addresses concerns in Asphalt which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Durability, Energy consumption, Nuclear engineering, Molding (process) and Heating system.
Random forest, Debris and Remote sensing are some topics wherein Glacier research discussed in it have an impact.
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 Cold Regions Science and Technology (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 Cold Regions Science and Technology (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 2022 edition, 42.86% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 50.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 25.00% of all publications and 25.00% 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)For those interested in expanding their knowledge in sustainable practices, numerous options exist beyond traditional Environmental Sciences programs. Exploring the best online environmental health and safety programs can provide critical expertise in managing environmental risks and ensuring workplace safety.
Meanwhile, individuals looking to bridge environmental concerns with human wellness might consider pursuing a marriage and family counseling degree online. This path supports emotional and social health, which complements ecological stability efforts.
Understanding the different types of counseling degrees available can help tailor education toward specialized roles that address community and environmental stresses collaboratively.
Additionally, career opportunities that intersect with public health, such as roles in nursing, often provide competitive compensation. Reviewing nurse practitioner salary statistics can guide decisions about entering healthcare fields alongside environmental science initiatives.
