The journal aims to foster the development of research in Geotechnical engineering, Mechanics, Thermal, Composite material and Effective stress. The study of Geotechnical engineering encompasses disciplines such as Shear (geology), as well as fields such as Slip (materials science), all of which overlap with one another. Granular material, Stress (mechanics) and Viscoplasticity are some topics wherein Mechanics research discussed in the journal have an impact.
While work presented in Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment provided substantial information on Stress (mechanics), it also covered topics in Deformation (mechanics) and Constitutive equation. Topics in Thermal explored in Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment were investigated in conjunction with research in Pile, Heat exchanger, Work (thermodynamics) and Thermal energy. Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment tackles topics on Pile, which can potentially contribute to the wider field of Structural engineering.
Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment tackles research in Heat pump as part of the general discipline of Heat exchanger, however, it also discusses concepts in Geothermal energy. It tackles studies in Bentonite and the interrelated subject of Radioactive waste to gain insights into Composite material. Topics in Permeability (earth sciences) were tackled in line with various other fields like Porosity and Overburden pressure.
The published articles mostly deal with topics like Thermal, Geotechnical engineering, Geothermal energy, Heat exchanger and Pile. The published papers connects research in Thermal with the related topics of Mechanics. While work presented in the published articles provide substantial information on Geotechnical engineering, it also covers topics in Slip (materials science) and Shear (geology).
The journal focuses on Geotechnical engineering, Thermal, Composite material, Mechanics and Pile. Geotechnical engineering studies presented in Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment focus on topics such as Effective stress and Pore water pressure. Issues in Thermal were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Heat exchanger, Model test and Thermal contraction.
The studies on Composite material discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Volume (thermodynamics), Water content and Supercritical fluid. Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment focuses on Mechanics but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Stress (mechanics), Boundary value problem and Fracture (geology). While Pile is the focus of Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment, it also provided insights into the studies of Shear strength (soil), Thermal expansion, Direct shear test and Oedometer test.
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 Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment (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 Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment (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, 16.90% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 22.03% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 15.25% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 33.90% of all publications and 28.81% 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 Engineering and Technology, exploring related fields can open diverse career pathways. One popular option is project management, which blends leadership with technical skills. If you’re wondering is project management a good degree, it’s worth noting that this field offers strong job growth and opportunities across various industries.
Architecture is another closely related discipline, especially for those focused on design and innovation. Pursuing an architecture degree online combines flexibility with rigorous training, making it accessible for busy professionals. For students eager to accelerate their education, several programs offer online architecture degree options that can be completed in under two years.
Additionally, accelerated formats are available for those targeting project management careers. The accelerated online project management degree programs allow motivated students to quickly gain credentials and enter the workforce.
Overall, these related degrees complement the foundation of Engineering and Technology, providing versatile skills for long-term career success.
