Publication chance based on affiliation

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, 11.46% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 23.53% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 9.41% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.12% of all publications and 52.94% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

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.

Returning Institution Index

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.

The experience to innovation index

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:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

Career Opportunities in Human Geography

Human geography, as explored extensively in the Dialogues in Human Geography journal, offers a rich field for career exploration. This discipline intersects with several dynamic sectors including environmental consultancy, policy development, urban planning and even counseling. Specifically, fields such as Environmental Ethics and Political Economy, which feature prominently in the journal, are linked to counseling oriented careers such as Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).

In fact, becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor can open up a multitude of career advancement opportunities in both academic and applied contexts. Counselors can draw from their understanding of humans' relationship with their environment, a key tenet of human geography, to provide effective and contextual mental health support. Also, they can specialize in specific issues like climate change anxiety, reflecting topics very much alive in the current discourse.

In order to pursue this route, it's important to meet the necessary academic and licensing requirements. For instance, if you are based in Utah or considering to move there, you should check the specifics of obtaining an LPC license in Utah. This valuable certification can equip you with the necessary legal credentials and specialized skills to navigate the dynamic landscape of geography-based counseling.

Overall, delving into the human geography field not only contributes to academic development, but it can also pave the way for unique career paths.
