Ecosphere mainly tackles studies in Ecology, Ecosystem, Habitat, Climate change and Biodiversity. Ecosphere concentrates on Ecology topics that focus on Species richness, Abundance (ecology), Predation, Vegetation and Herbivore. Ecosystem research discussed connects with the study of Biomass (ecology).
The work tackled in Ecosphere goes beyond the discipline of Habitat as it also encompasses Range (biology).
The most cited articles aim to foster the development of research in Ecology, Ecosystem, Climate change, Habitat and Biodiversity. The Ecology research presented in the journal articles places emphasis on topics like Species richness, Vegetation, Abundance (ecology), Disturbance (ecology) and Range (biology). The Ecosystem research tackled in the published papers is interrelated with Environmental resource management which concerns subjects like Forest ecology.
Ecosphere was organized to reinforce research efforts on Ecology, Climate change, Habitat, Agronomy and Zoology. The Ecology study featured in the journal draws connections with the study of Disturbance (geology).
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 Ecosphere (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 Ecosphere (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, 1.70% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 24.26% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 15.35% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.32% of all publications and 42.08% 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)Exploring environmental sciences opens numerous avenues for further study and career development. One popular path is pursuing an environmental health and safety degree online. This degree equips students with vital skills to protect ecosystems and human health, combining science with regulatory knowledge to improve workplace and environmental standards.
Beyond environmental sciences, some students may consider complementary fields like counseling. For those interested, assessing counselling degree options can clarify which specialty aligns best with their career goals. Degrees in marriage and family therapy are especially relevant for those passionate about psychology and interpersonal dynamics.
If you want to delve deeper into this specialty, the online marriage and family therapy masters programs offer flexible learning paths for advancing clinical expertise remotely, catering to current professionals and new students alike.
For graduates aiming to expand their credentials in mental health care, becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner is a promising option. Understanding psych np salary across states helps gauge the financial and geographic opportunities within this in-demand profession.
