International Journal of Speleology primarily tackles Cave, Karst, Ecology, Archaeology and Geochemistry. The work on Cave tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Paleontology, Mineralogy and Geomorphology. International Journal of Speleology features research on Karst in an attempt to reinforce studies in the field of Hydrology.
Most of the works presented in International Journal of Speleology deals with Ecology but it intersects with the subject of Zoology. In addition to Geochemistry research, the journal aims to explore topics under Gypsum and Gypsum karst.
The most cited publications primarily tackle Cave, Ecology, Karst, Geochemistry and Hydrology. The presentations in the journal papers focused mostly on Cave in an attempt to further explore topics in Archaeology. The most cited publications explore topics in Karst which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Carbonate rock, Aquifer and Geomorphology.
The journal explores disciplines such as Cave, Geochemistry, Guano, Zoology and Ecology. Research on Cave presented in it concerns the broader topic of Archaeology. The concepts on Geochemistry presented in International Journal of Speleology can also apply to other research fields, including Karst, Organic matter and Strengite.
Sedimentary depositional environment, Gypsum and Mineral composition are some topics wherein Guano research discussed in the journal have an impact. The Zoology study presented in it encompasses related topics like Hexapoda, Protura and Niphargus stygius and also examines its connection to subjects such as Metabolic activity. The Lepidoptera genitalia, Climate change, Global warming and Biodiversity conservation studies presented in it fall under the field of Ecology, but it also has connections to other fields such as Armadillidium.
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 International Journal of Speleology (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 International Journal of Speleology (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, 28.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 27.78% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.11% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.67% of all publications and 44.44% 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 those interested in Earth Science, numerous online degree options can open doors to exciting career pathways. Students with varied academic backgrounds can explore programs available at low GPA colleges, making higher education more accessible regardless of past academic performance.
Geospatial technology plays a significant role in Earth Science, and earning a GIS degree online equips students with skills to analyze spatial data crucial for environmental research and resource management.
For those focused specifically on the physical aspects of Earth sciences, pursuing geoscience online degree programs offers flexible study options while covering core areas like geology, mineralogy, and environmental science.
Some students may also consider interdisciplinary paths, such as the accelerated applied behavior analysis masters online, which emphasizes human behavior and can complement environmental or community-focused roles in sustainability and conservation.
