Forests is organized to address concerns in the fields of Ecology, Agronomy, Forestry, Forest management and Horticulture. Ecosystem, Habitat, Climate change, Species richness and Biodiversity are some of the facets of Ecology tackled in the journal. The journal dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Climate change and Physical geography.
Agronomy research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Soil water, Soil carbon and Nutrient. Forestry research is concerned with Basal area in particular. Forest ecology and Environmental resource management are some topics wherein Forest management research discussed in Forests have an impact.
The study on Environmental resource management presented in it intersects with the topics under Ecosystem services.
The most cited publications cover a variety of subjects, including Ecology, Forest management, Environmental resource management, Forestry and Agroforestry. The study on Ecology presented in the published papers is investigated in conjunction with research in Physical geography. Forest ecology, Logging and Sustainability are some topics wherein Forest management research discussed in the journal publications has an impact.
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 Forests (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 Forests (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, 95.37% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 31.25% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 15.62% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.50% of all publications and 40.62% 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 students interested in Plant Science and Agronomy, exploring related fields like nutrition and healthcare can open diverse career opportunities. Many professionals complement their agriculture background with nutrition expertise, which makes programs like online registered dietitian programs highly relevant. These programs focus on diet, food sciences, and wellness, aligning well with agricultural studies.
Those seeking faster entry into nutrition careers might consider an accelerated nutrition degree online. This option allows students to earn credentials quickly while maintaining flexibility, perfect for those balancing work or other commitments.
For students looking to integrate plant science with healthcare, nursing degrees offer another avenue. Cheapest online accelerated BSN programs make it feasible for non-nurses to enter the nursing field with a focus on community and environmental health. Transitioning from nursing to advanced roles can be expedited by understanding how to be a nurse practitioner, unlocking leadership positions in health and nutrition sectors connected to agronomy.
