The topics of Environmental chemistry, Bacteria, Ecology, Inorganic chemistry and Botany are the focal point of discussions in the journal. Environmental chemistry research featured in Geomicrobiology Journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Microorganism, Soil water, Sediment, Mineralogy and Sulfate. The Mineralogy works, particularly on Calcite are tackled in Geomicrobiology Journal.
The journal features Calcite research that overlaps with concepts in Carbonate. The Sulfate study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Sulfur. The research on Bacteria featured in it combines topics in other fields like Strain (chemistry) and Microbiology.
Topics in Ecology were tackled in line with various other fields like Archaea and Microbial population biology. The research on Inorganic chemistry discussed in the journal draws on the closely related field of Manganese. Most of the Botany studies addressed also intersect with Cyanobacteria.
The most cited articles are organized to reinforce research efforts on Environmental chemistry, Bacteria, Inorganic chemistry, Ecology and Mineralogy. In addition to Environmental chemistry research, the most cited articles aim to explore topics under Sulfur, Microorganism, Carbonate, Sediment and Sulfate. While the primary focus in the most cited papers is Bacteria, they also dissect topics surrounding Botany and Cyanobacteria and Biomineralization as a whole.
Geomicrobiology Journal facilitates discussions on Environmental chemistry, Bacteria, Ecology, Microorganism and Geochemistry. Biogeochemical cycle is a focus of the presented Environmental chemistry works and it dives deep in Biogeochemical cycle. Topics in Bacteria explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Identification (biology), Botany, Cave, Isolation (microbiology) and Phosphate.
The featured Ecology studies mainly concentrate on Microbial diversity but also cover areas of interest in Microbial population biology and Community structure. While it focused on Microorganism, it was also able to explore topics like Extracellular, Hexavalent chromium and Electron transfer. It explores topics in Sulfur which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Oxidizing agent and Sulfate.
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 Geomicrobiology Journal (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 Geomicrobiology Journal (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, 3.16% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 9.78% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 3.26% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 9.78% of all publications and 77.17% 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)Exploring Earth Science through online degrees offers flexible and accessible pathways to enter this dynamic field. Many students consider pursuing an associate degree online as a starting point, enabling foundational knowledge and quicker entry into the job market. These programs are often structured to accommodate working professionals and can serve as a stepping stone to more advanced studies.
For those aiming to advance their expertise, understanding which masters degrees are worth it is crucial. Earth Science-related master's programs not only deepen subject matter knowledge but also increase employability in high-demand sectors like environmental consulting, geology, and meteorology. In this regard, choosing a program that balances quality and career prospects is key.
Time efficiency is another significant factor; many professionals prefer the fastest masters degree options to minimize time away from the workforce while maximizing career benefits. Accelerated programs allow students to gain advanced qualifications promptly, aligning well with industry demands.
Cost is often a deciding consideration. Identifying what are the cheapest online colleges that offer strong Earth Science curricula can reduce financial barriers and make higher education more attainable. Combining affordability with accredited programs ensures students invest wisely in their future careers.
