The main research concerns discussed in the journal are Environmental planning, Wastewater, Human health, Environmental chemistry and Environmental protection. Current Opinion in Environmental Science & Health links adjacent topics like Environmental planning with Agriculture. Current Opinion in Environmental Science & Health facilitates discussions on Wastewater that incorporate concepts from other fields like Effluent, Reuse and Sewage treatment.
Aside from Human health, it also covered works in the field of Environmental health. The study on Environmental chemistry presented in Current Opinion in Environmental Science & Health intersects with the topics under Contamination.
The journal publications focus largely on the fields of Microplastics, Wastewater, Environmental health, Contamination and Circular economy. The study of Microplastics, which falls within the realm of Environmental chemistry, was the main focus of the studies in the most cited articles. The journal articles explore research in Wastewater alongside concepts in Reuse and other areas of study in Water scarcity and Sewage treatment.
The concepts of Ecosystem, Environmental protection, Environmental planning, Sustainability and Pollution are tackled in Current Opinion in Environmental Science & Health. Ecosystem research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Photosynthesis, Antibiotic resistance and Vegetation. Current Opinion in Environmental Science & Health addresses concerns in Vegetation which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Climate change, Surface runoff and Environmental resource management.
Among the topics covered in Current Opinion in Environmental Science & Health are Environmental protection and Human health. Topics in Sustainability were tackled in line with various other fields like Resource (biology), Environmental economics and Biochemical engineering. It holds forums on Pollution that merges themes from other disciplines such as Pollutant, Tropospheric ozone, Air quality index, Air pollution and Food security.
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 Current Opinion in Environmental Science & Health (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 Current Opinion in Environmental Science & Health (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, 15.79% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 14.06% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 28.12% of all publications and 32.81% 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 broadening their expertise beyond Environmental Sciences, several related online degrees offer diverse career opportunities. For example, pursuing one of the affordable psychology masters programs can complement environmental studies by emphasizing human behavior and environmental impact.
Graduates often wonder what can you do with an environmental studies degree. Career options span roles in policy, conservation, research, and sustainability consulting, highlighting the degree’s versatility in tackling ecological challenges.
For a more technical focus, students might consider an environmental engineering online degree. This path combines engineering principles with environmental science, preparing graduates to design solutions for pollution control, waste management, and resource preservation.
Additionally, interdisciplinary paths such as accelerated slp programs may appeal to individuals interested in unique career trajectories that integrate communication science with environmental health fields.
