Geoderma investigates areas of study like Soil water, Soil science, Environmental chemistry, Hydrology and Mineralogy. Topics in Soil water explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Organic matter and Agronomy. The research on Agronomy featured in the journal combines topics in other fields like Nutrient and Soil fertility.
The Soil science research presented in the journal explores the relationship between Water content and the closely related topic of Moisture. In addition to Environmental chemistry research, it aims to explore topics under Soil pH, Humus and Sorption. The studies on Hydrology discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Soil map and Spatial variability.
The study on Mineralogy presented in the journal intersects with the topics under Weathering. The Weathering study which was featured in Geoderma aims to expound on the research in Geochemistry. The journal connects research in Soil organic matter with the related topic of Soil chemistry.
The most cited papers cover a variety of subjects, including Soil water, Soil science, Hydrology, Environmental chemistry and Soil organic matter. The published articles facilitate discussions on Soil water that incorporate concepts from other fields like Organic matter and Mineralogy. The published articles hold forums on Hydrology that merge themes from other disciplines such as Topsoil and Spatial variability.
The main points discussed in the journal deals with Soil water, Environmental chemistry, Soil carbon, Soil science and Agronomy. The study of Soil water encompasses disciplines such as Carbon, as well as fields such as Radiocarbon dating, all of which overlap with one another. While Environmental chemistry is the focus of Geoderma, it also provided insights into the studies of Organic matter, Phosphorus, Nutrient and Weathering.
While work presented in it provided substantial information on Soil carbon, it also covered topics in Soil quality, Climate change, Carbon sequestration, Crop rotation and Vegetation. Some problems in Soil science that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Range (statistics) and Grassland. Geoderma explores issues in Soil horizon which can be linked to other research areas like Tillage and Nitrogen.
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 Geoderma (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 Geoderma (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 2022 edition, 13.19% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 29.11% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.86% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.46% of all publications and 45.57% 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)Studying Earth Science online offers flexibility and accessibility, especially for working adults looking to advance their careers without affecting their current responsibilities. Many institutions provide programs through some of the most affordable online colleges for working adults, making higher education more attainable.
For those concerned about academic history, several colleges accept students with a colleges that accept 2.0 gpa policies, allowing motivated learners to pursue Earth Science degrees despite lower past grades.
Specializing in technical skills, such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), can further boost career opportunities. Exploring the top gis masters programs equips students with advanced expertise widely used in environmental monitoring, urban planning, and resource management.
Additionally, several reputable programs focus on the broader field of geology and geoscience. Investigating the best online geology degree options can help students find comprehensive curricula suited to their professional goals.
