Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta primarily tackles Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Analytical chemistry, Inorganic chemistry and Environmental chemistry. The Geochemistry study featured in the journal draws parallels with the field of Meteorite. The Meteorite study featured falls within the larger field of Astrobiology.
Seawater, Carbonate, Chondrite and Silicate are some topics wherein Mineralogy research discussed in Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta have an impact. Chondrite research presented is mostly focused on the subject of Chondrule. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta explores topics in Analytical chemistry which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Fractionation and Isotope.
Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta emphasizes research on Fractionation, which includes concerns such as Isotope fractionation. In it, Solubility, Adsorption, Aqueous solution and Dissolution are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Inorganic chemistry research. The journal explores issues in Environmental chemistry which can be linked to other research areas like Organic matter and Sediment.
The journal publications cover a variety of subjects, including Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Inorganic chemistry, Analytical chemistry and Environmental chemistry. Issues in Mineralogy were discussed in the journal articles, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Seawater, Carbonate and Silicate. In addition to Geochemistry research, the most cited articles aim to explore topics under Chondrite and Meteorite.
The journal focuses on Geochemistry, Analytical chemistry, Isotope fractionation, Environmental chemistry and Chondrite. Concepts in Carbonate, as well as related topics in Diagenesis and Isotopes of oxygen, are covered in the Geochemistry research presented in the journal. While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Analytical chemistry, it also covered topics in Hydrothermal circulation, Isotope, Dissolution, Silicate and Aqueous solution.
The journal focuses on Isotope fractionation research which is adjacent to topics in Inorganic chemistry. The journal focuses on Environmental chemistry but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Seawater, Organic matter and Sulfate. It is concerned with the study of Calcite and Mineralogy in general.
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 Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (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 Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (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, 8.52% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 30.16% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 12.86% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 23.73% of all publications and 33.26% 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)For those interested in Earth Science, exploring related online degrees can open up various career opportunities. Many students start with an online associate degrees which provide foundational knowledge and can be a cost-effective stepping stone toward more advanced studies.
Affordability is often a major consideration, and identifying the cheapest online college options can make higher education more accessible, especially for those balancing work and study. Additionally, some online graduate programs offer admission to students with diverse academic backgrounds. Programs that accept a 2.0 GPA or higher can be a great fit for learners aiming to advance without traditional barriers.
Specialized fields like Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are closely tied to Earth Science careers. Pursuing a gis degree online equips students with crucial mapping and spatial analysis skills used in environmental consulting, urban planning, and natural resource management.
Overall, combining affordable online education with targeted degree programs can help students carve out rewarding pathways in Earth Science and its many related disciplines.
