The aim of Gaia-ecological Perspectives for Science and Society is to expand the discussion of research in Environmental resource management, Sustainability, Humanities, Environmental ethics and Sustainable development.
The journal publications are organized to address concerns in the fields of Environmental resource management, Ecosystem services, Sustainability, Transdisciplinarity and Biodiversity. The journal papers deal with Environmental resource management in conjunction with Scale (social sciences) and similar fields in Ecosystem and Habitat. While work presented in the most cited papers provide substantial information on Sustainability, it also covers topics in Psychological intervention, Environmental economics and Sustainable development.
Gaia-ecological Perspectives for Science and Society generally zeroes in on subjects such as Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak, Environmental ethics, Sustainable development and Environmental planning. Aside from Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the journal also covered works in other subjects like Global health, Structural shift, Public relations, Psychological resilience and Social change. Gaia-ecological Perspectives for Science and Society tackles research works in 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak as well as other disciplines like Denialism, Humanities, Populism, Knowledge-based systems and Politics.
The work on Environmental ethics tackled in Gaia-ecological Perspectives for Science and Society brings together disciplines like Nature Conservation and Environmentalism. Research on Sustainable development addressed in it frequently intersections with the field of Perspective (graphical).
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 Gaia-ecological Perspectives for Science and Society (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 Gaia-ecological Perspectives for Science and Society (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, 70.59% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 60.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 20.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 20.00% 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)Exploring a degree in Environmental Sciences opens doors to diverse career opportunities, but many students also consider complementary fields to broaden their expertise. For those interested in mental health and wellness alongside environmental issues, pursuing different therapy degrees can provide valuable skills in counseling and community support.
Healthcare professionals looking to specialize might examine salary trends by region, such as the nurse practitioner salary across states, to make informed career decisions. This information is crucial for those balancing environmental studies with a healthcare career.
For advanced education options, many students seek affordable and flexible learning paths. The availability of masters psychology online programs offers a convenient way to deepen understanding of human behavior in relation to environmental impact and policy.
Ultimately, the spectrum of opportunities highlighted under what can you do with an environmental science degree demonstrates the versatility of this field. Whether engaging in research, advocacy, or healthcare, environmental science can serve as a foundation for meaningful and impactful careers.
