The objective of the journal is to combine knowledge in the areas of Geodesy, GNSS applications, Global Positioning System, Remote sensing and Geodetic datum. The journal facilitates discussions on Geodesy that incorporate concepts from other fields like Deformation (meteorology), Geoid and Precise Point Positioning. It explores research in GNSS applications and the adjacent study of Real-time computing.
While Remote sensing is the focus of Journal of Applied Geodesy, it also provided insights into the studies of Terrestrial laser scanning, Laser scanning and Optics. More specifically, the research on Optics in the journal is related to Laser.
The journal papers focus on Remote sensing, Optics, Laser scanning, Global Positioning System and GNSS applications. The most cited articles help close the divide between two different fields of study: Remote sensing and Error analysis. While work presented in the most cited articles provide substantial information on Global Positioning System, it also covers topics in Standard deviation, Spatial reference system, Geodesy, Systems engineering and Structural monitoring.
Journal of Applied Geodesy covers a variety of subjects, including Geodesy, Total station, Kinematics, Algorithm and GNSS applications. Geodetic datum studies in the realm of Geodesy interact with fields like Earth (classical element). Topics in Kinematics were tackled in line with various other fields like Calibration (statistics), Multi sensor, Real-time computing and Simulation.
Algorithm research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Vertical displacement, Anomaly detection, Square (algebra), Estimation and Robustness (computer science). The study of GNSS applications encompasses disciplines such as Radar, as well as fields such as Remote sensing, all of which overlap with one another. It explores topics in Remote sensing which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Optical fiber, Strain distribution, Structural health monitoring and Laser scanning.
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 Journal of Applied Geodesy (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 Journal of Applied Geodesy (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, 3.70% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 46.15% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.54% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 26.92% of all publications and 15.38% 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)Studying Earth Science in the USA opens up diverse career pathways, many of which benefit from advanced education. Pursuing graduate degrees that are worth it can significantly enhance job prospects, especially in specialized fields such as environmental consulting, geophysics, and climate science.
For those seeking more accessible entry points, online associate degrees offer flexibility and affordability without sacrificing quality. These degrees provide foundational knowledge that can lead to technician roles or serve as a stepping stone towards a bachelor’s degree in Earth Science or related disciplines.
Affordability is a common concern for many students. Fortunately, some of the cheapest online university in usa options make it easier to pursue higher education without overwhelming debt, allowing students to focus on their studies and future careers.
Finally, students worried about academic records should explore colleges that do not emphasize high GPAs. Several colleges that accept 2.0 gpa provide opportunities to continue education and build relevant skills in Earth Science regardless of past academic performance.
