The journal primarily focuses on research topics in Agronomy, Ecology, Soil water, Soil biology and Botany. It facilitates discussions on Agronomy that incorporate concepts from other fields like Soil organic matter, Soil carbon, Soil fertility and Microbial population biology. The journal dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Soil fertility and Soil quality.
It tackles issues in Ecology, particularly in the topics of Earthworm, Ecosystem, Species richness, Abundance (ecology) and Biodiversity. Lumbricidae and Lumbricus terrestris are among the concentrations of Earthworm that garnered much attention in the journal. Topics in Soil water explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Environmental chemistry and Organic matter.
The Soil biology study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Soil biodiversity. While the journal focused on Botany, it was also able to explore topics like Horticulture, Rhizosphere, Bacteria, Litter and Plant litter.
The journal papers facilitate discussions on Agronomy, Ecology, Soil biology, Soil water and Botany. Issues in Agronomy were discussed in the journal publications, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Soil organic matter, Soil carbon, Biomass and Soil fertility. While Soil water is the focus of the journal papers, it also provides insights into the studies of Environmental chemistry and Organic matter.
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 European Journal of Soil Biology (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 European Journal of Soil Biology (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, 7.46% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 35.48% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.06% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 11.29% of all publications and 45.16% 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 Environmental Sciences, pursuing related online degrees can open diverse career opportunities. One popular option is to explore environmental engineering degrees online. These programs focus on applying engineering principles to solve environmental challenges, making graduates highly sought after in industries like pollution control and sustainable design.
Another complementary field is environmental health, which emphasizes workplace safety and public health. Students can consider environmental health and safety online degree programs to gain expertise in regulatory compliance, hazard management, and risk assessment.
While more specialized, some may find opportunities by blending their environmental knowledge with behavioral sciences through programs like bcba masters programs. These prepare graduates for roles in behavior analysis, which can intersect with environmental policy and community education.
Lastly, accelerated degree options, such as those highlighted in accelerated slp programs, demonstrate how fast-tracked learning can benefit career changers or professionals seeking to augment their expertise. Although focused on speech pathology, the model of accelerated online education is increasingly relevant across many environmental disciplines.
