The journal aims to foster the development of research in Astronomy, Astrophysics, Astrobiology, Mars Exploration Program and Asteroid. Icarus tackles issues in Astronomy, particularly in the topics of Solar System, Planet, Jupiter, Photometry (optics) and Spectral line. Planet research is concerned with Terrestrial planet in particular.
In addition to Astrophysics research, the journal aims to explore topics under Brightness and Wavelength. Impact crater, Meteorite and Regolith studies are all carried out as a component of the study in Astrobiology presented. Some problems in Impact crater that were presented in Icarus overlapped with concepts under Ejecta and Geochemistry.
The studies in Mars Exploration Program featured incorporate elements of Atmosphere, Atmospheric sciences and Remote sensing. Topics in Atmospheric sciences explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Atmosphere of Venus, Venus, Titan (rocket family) and Latitude. The research on Asteroid featured in it combines topics in other fields like Albedo and Light curve.
The published articles are mainly concerned with subjects like Astronomy, Astrobiology, Astrophysics, Asteroid and Solar System. The journal papers cover various topics on Astronomy such as Planet, Jupiter, Comet, Photometry (optics) and Spectral line. While the most cited publications focused on Mars Exploration Program, they were also able to explore topics like Atmosphere and Atmospheric sciences.
Icarus generally zeroes in on subjects such as Mars Exploration Program, Impact crater, Martian, Atmospheric sciences and Mineralogy. The study of Astrobiology serves as the foundation of the Mars Exploration Program research discussed in it. While Astrobiology is the key highlight in it, it also covered some subjects on Volume (thermodynamics) and Surface (mathematics).
Issues in Atmospheric sciences were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Atmosphere, Mixed layer, Convective instability, Atmosphere of Mars and Evaporation. Topics in Planet explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Solar System and Circular orbit. The journal addresses concerns in the field of Geophysics by exploring it in line with topics in Titan (rocket family) which intersect with Astrophysics subjects.
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 Icarus (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 Icarus (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, 16.13% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 42.31% 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 11.54% of all publications and 38.46% 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)Exploring a degree in Earth Science can open doors to various interdisciplinary career paths that extend beyond traditional geosciences. For instance, healthcare-related fields such as speech pathology and clinical psychology often offer online options, providing flexibility for students balancing other commitments. Understanding the costs involved in pursuing a speech pathology degree cost online can help prospective students plan effectively.
Some career shifts, like becoming a speech-language pathologist (SLP), require specialized training, but resources on how to make a career transition, such as the guide on slps, offer valuable insights. Similarly, those intrigued by forensic or medical sciences might consider paths like becoming an autopsy technician, and understanding how to become an autopsy technician can provide clarity on educational requirements and job outlooks.
Additionally, advanced degrees such as online clinical psychology masters programs are growing in popularity and complement Earth Science knowledge, especially for those interested in environmental psychology or human impacts on ecosystems.
By exploring these diverse academic and career pathways, students can find unique ways to integrate Earth Science with other fields, enhancing both their expertise and employment opportunities.
