Overview

Top Research Topics at Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management?

The topics of Risk assessment, Environmental resource management, Ecology, Environmental engineering and Environmental impact assessment are the focal point of discussions in the journal. While Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management focused on Risk assessment, it was also able to explore topics like Risk analysis (engineering), Risk management and Ecological risk. While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Environmental resource management, it also covered topics in Environmental monitoring, Process (engineering) and Ecosystem services.

Presentations on Ecology include those discussing Habitat and Bioaccumulation. Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management explores issues in Environmental engineering which can be linked to other research areas like Water quality and Sediment. It explores topics in Sediment which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Environmental chemistry and Benthic zone.

The Environmental chemistry study featured in it draws connections with the study of Contamination. The journal features Environmental impact assessment research that overlaps with concepts in Environmental planning.

  • Risk assessment (17.91%)
  • Environmental resource management (13.59%)

Publication chance based on affiliation

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, 11.05% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 19.53% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.51% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.75% of all publications and 56.21% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

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.

Returning Institution Index

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.

The experience to innovation index

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:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
