The journal focuses largely on the fields of Soil water, Soil science, Environmental chemistry, Mineralogy and Organic matter. Soil organic matter is a major topic of Soil water research. The journal focuses on different Soil science studies like Soil carbon, Soil horizon, Soil structure, Topsoil and Soil classification.
In it, Soil pH, Soil chemistry and Sorption are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Environmental chemistry research. The research on Mineralogy tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Porosity, Soil test, Weathering and Analytical chemistry. The journal facilitates discussions on Organic matter that incorporate concepts from other fields like Humus and Total organic carbon.
In addition to Inorganic chemistry research, it aims to explore topics under Phosphate and Adsorption. The study on Agronomy presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Nitrogen.
The journal articles aim to foster the development of research in Soil water, Environmental chemistry, Organic matter, Mineralogy and Soil science. The majority of Soil water studies presented in the journal publications zero in on Soil organic matter. The most cited papers explore issues in Mineralogy which can be linked to other research areas like Analytical chemistry, Soil test, Porosity and Soil horizon.
The journal mainly tackles studies in Environmental chemistry, Soil water, Soil science, Agronomy and Soil carbon. While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Environmental chemistry, it also covered topics in Organic matter, Nitrogen, Soil organic matter, Phosphorus and Carbon. The studies in Soil water featured incorporate elements of Carbon sequestration and Nutrient.
Soil science research presented is mostly focused on the subject of Soil texture. It explores issues in Agronomy which can be linked to other research areas like Agriculture and Microbial population biology.
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 Science (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 Science (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, 2.48% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 26.90% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.17% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 19.80% of all publications and 42.13% 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.

(2020)Exploring Earth Science in the USA opens doors to various online degree options and valuable career pathways. For students concerned about academic qualifications, many online colleges that accept 2.0 GPA provide accessible opportunities to pursue higher education without stringent GPA requirements. This inclusivity helps more aspiring geoscientists start their journey.
Specializing in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a natural extension of Earth Science studies. Programs featured among the top GIS masters programs offer advanced skills in spatial data analysis, positioning graduates for roles in environmental consulting, urban planning, and disaster management.
For those interested in traditional Earth Science disciplines, numerous online geology degrees provide flexible learning while covering essential topics like mineralogy, paleontology, and geophysics. These programs prepare students for careers in research, resource management, and environmental assessment.
Additionally, interdisciplinary pathways such as behavioral studies related to environmental factors can be pursued through accelerated options like the online applied behavior analysis degree accelerated. This unique blend can lead to specialized roles in behavioral research connected to natural settings.
