The Holocene tackles a plethora of topics, such as Holocene, Physical geography, Archaeology, Oceanography and Ecology. While Holocene is the focus of The Holocene, it also provided insights into the studies of Climatology, Radiocarbon dating, Climate change, Paleoclimatology and Vegetation. The Climatology study featured in the journal draws connections with the study of Precipitation.
Research on Radiocarbon dating presented in it concerns the broader topic of Paleontology. While The Holocene focused on Physical geography, it was also able to explore topics like Peat, Period (geology), Geomorphology and Hydrology. Prehistory is a major topic of Archaeology research.
While Oceanography is the focus of The Holocene, it also provided insights into the studies of Sedimentary rock and Sediment. The research on Ecology discussed in the journal draws on the closely related field of Charcoal. Palynology is a primary topic of Pollen research in the journal.
Holocene, Physical geography, Climatology, Oceanography and Ecology are the main subjects of interest in the journal publications. The published papers explore topics in Holocene which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Radiocarbon dating, Climate change, Paleoclimatology, Peat and Vegetation. While work presented in the published papers provide substantial information on Physical geography, it also covers topics in Hydrology, Glacial period, Geomorphology and Macrofossil.
The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Holocene, Physical geography, Archaeology, Climate change and Oceanography. In the journal, Peat, Ecology, Pollen and Sea level are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Holocene research. The Physical geography works featured in The Holocene incorporate elements from Fire history, Ecosystem, Paleoclimatology and Charcoal.
The studies on Ecosystem discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Vegetation dynamics and Paleoecology. The studies in Climate change featured incorporate elements of Agriculture, Dendrochronology and China. The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Oceanography, apply to Sediment as well.
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 The Holocene (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 The Holocene (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, 3.43% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.44% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.69% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.57% of all publications and 50.30% 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.

(2021)For students interested in Environmental Sciences, exploring related fields can open up diverse career opportunities. One such area is counseling, which often intersects with environmental issues through community and family dynamics. Programs like marriage and family masters programs provide specialized training that can complement an environmental background by emphasizing human relationships and societal impacts.
Understanding the types of counseling degrees available can help students decide how to integrate mental health support into environmental advocacy or education roles. Mental health professionals, including psychiatric nurse practitioners, hold a crucial role in community wellbeing. Considering the mental health np salary across different regions offers insight into the financial prospects within this career path.
Additionally, a masters in psychology can provide valuable skills in understanding human behavior and environmental attitudes, fostering more effective communication and policy development. Combining these disciplines allows for a holistic approach to tackling environmental challenges.
