Freshwater Science focuses on Ecology, STREAMS, Ecosystem, Benthic zone and Habitat. It focuses on Ecology as well as the interrelated topic of Hydrology. In Freshwater Science, Organic matter, Watershed, Abundance (ecology), Riparian zone and Water quality are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in STREAMS research.
Periphyton is a primary topic of Nutrient research in Freshwater Science. The Species richness study featured in Freshwater Science draws parallels with the field of Biodiversity.
The main points discussed in the most cited publications deal with Ecology, STREAMS, Ecosystem, Habitat and Invertebrate. The journal papers dive deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Ecology and Hydrology. The published articles hold forums on Ecosystem that merge themes from other disciplines such as Trophic level, Organic matter, Aquatic ecosystem and Environmental resource management.
Freshwater Science mostly deals with topics like Ecology, STREAMS, Ecosystem, Invertebrate and Benthic zone. Beta diversity, Algae, Biodiversity, Habitat and Invasive species are among the concentrations of Ecology that garnered much attention in it. Freshwater Science addresses concerns in STREAMS which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Water resource management, Structuring, Crayfish, Water quality and Assemblage (archaeology).
It explores topics in Ecosystem which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Hydrology, Sclerochronology, Riparian zone and Trophic state index. Invertebrate research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Detritus and Freshwater wetlands. Topics in Benthic zone explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Periphyton and Biomonitoring.
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 Freshwater 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 Freshwater 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, 88.24% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 16.67% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 33.33% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.67% of all publications and 33.33% 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)Studying Environmental Sciences in the USA opens doors to several interdisciplinary career options. One promising route is pursuing an environmental health and safety degree online, which focuses on protecting both the environment and human health through regulatory compliance and risk management.
Beyond traditional environmental roles, students interested in social aspects might explore counseling fields. For example, earning a marriage and family therapy master's programs online degree offers paths to support community mental well-being, often linked to environmental stressors.
Understanding the types of therapy degrees available helps students align their passion with the right specialization, whether that’s clinical mental health or substance abuse counseling.
As demand rises, careers like mental health nurse practitioners are gaining traction, with salaries varying by location. Exploring mental health nurse practitioner salary insights can guide informed decisions about pursuing nursing roles that integrate environmental and psychological health concerns.
