Geoderma Regional primarily tackles Soil water, Soil science, Agronomy, Soil test and Soil carbon. Topics in Soil water were tackled in line with various other fields like Environmental chemistry, Organic matter and Hydrology. Sampling (statistics) and Spatial variability are some topics wherein Hydrology research discussed in Geoderma Regional have an impact.
The in-depth study on Soil science also explores topics in the intersecting field of Silt. It explores issues in Agronomy which can be linked to other research areas like Soil organic matter, Agriculture, Nutrient and Soil fertility. Geoderma Regional addresses concerns in Soil test which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Soil texture and Partial least squares regression.
Some problems in Soil carbon that were presented in Geoderma Regional overlapped with concepts under Soil type, Total organic carbon, Soil quality and Land use. The research on Digital soil mapping featured in Geoderma Regional combines topics in other fields like Kriging, Random forest and Environmental resource management. The studies on Soil map discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Scale (map) and Soil survey.
The published articles tackle a plethora of topics, such as Digital soil mapping, Soil science, Soil map, Hydrology and Agronomy. The most cited papers explore topics in Soil science which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Silt and Drainage. Soil test and Soil carbon are all topics related to Soil water research discussed in the published articles.
Geoderma Regional covers a variety of subjects, including Soil water, Soil science, Soil test, Soil carbon and Agronomy. The concepts on Soil water presented in Geoderma Regional can also apply to other research fields, including Hydrology, Organic matter and Environmental chemistry. While the primary focus in the journal is Soil science, it also dissects topics surrounding Water content and Spatial distribution and Entisol as a whole.
It holds forums on Soil test that merges themes from other disciplines such as Precision agriculture, Partial least squares regression, Transect, Plateau and Vertisol. The research on Soil carbon tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Elevation, Soil pH and Soil respiration. Agronomy research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Soil organic matter and No-till farming.
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 Regional (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 Regional (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, 6.10% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 29.87% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 15.58% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 19.48% of all publications and 35.06% 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.
