Research areas of the most cited articles at Environment:

The published articles mainly tackle studies in Sustainable development, Environmental resource management, Natural resource economics, Environmental planning and Climate change. The most cited papers focus on Sustainable development but sometimes tackle the closely related disciplines such as

• Environmental protection, which have a strong connection to Environmental engineering,
• Public administration and related Public opinion.. The Environmental resource management research presented in the most cited articles focuses mostly on Sustainability and, on occasion, topics in Biodiversity.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

• World War II
• Law
• Ecology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Environmental ethics, Sustainability, Aesthetics, Economic history and Anthropocene are the subjects of interest in Environment. The Environmental ethics works featured in Environment incorporate elements from Natural (archaeology), Impact crater, Global warming, Planet and Order (business). In addition to Sustainability research, it aims to explore topics under Space (commercial competition), Environmental resource management, Ground zero, Economy and Nuclear weapon.

In the journal, Gentrification, Transition (fiction) and Environmental justice are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Economic history research. Economic growth, Human Development Report, Human development (humanity) and Frontier are some topics wherein Anthropocene research discussed in the journal have an impact. Aside from research in Economic growth, Environment also discusses Work (electrical) studies.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• The Next Frontier—Human Development and the Anthropocene: UNDP Human Development Report 2020 (32 citations)
• Collision Course: Development Pushes Amazonia Toward Its Tipping Point (3 citations)
• Twin Disasters: Tracking COVID-19 and Cyclone Amphan’s Impacts on SDGs in the Indian Sundarbans (1 citations)

Papers citation over time

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.

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, 91.67% 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 50.00% of all publications and 0.00% 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.
