The scientific interests tackled in Journal of Coastal Conservation are Environmental resource management, Ecology, Nature Conservation, Oceanography and Hydrology. The overlapping concepts between Environmental protection and Tourism are the key highlights of Environmental resource management study. It concentrated on Ecology research, specifically Habitat, Vegetation, Ecosystem, Species richness and Sand dune stabilization.
Habitat and Fishery are closely related fields of research discussed in the journal. Discussions in the journal are anchored in the subject of Vegetation and the similar topic of Ecological succession. The work on Nature Conservation addressed in the journal expands to the thematically related Coastal zone.
The Oceanography research presented places emphasis on topics like Shore and Sea level. It holds forums on Shore that merges themes from other disciplines such as Erosion and Physical geography. Hydrology research discussed connects with the study of Estuary.
The most cited publications facilitate discussions on Ecology, Environmental resource management, Shore, Hydrology and Coastal erosion. While Environmental resource management is the focus of the most cited articles, it also provides insights into the studies of Nature Conservation, Natural resource, Spatial planning and Mangrove. The journal articles focus on Shore research conducted under the discipline of Oceanography.
The foci of the journal are Oceanography, Environmental planning, Fishery, Climate change and Nature Conservation. The studies on Oceanography discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Natural (archaeology), Sediment and Progradation. Topics in Environmental planning were tackled in line with various other fields like Shore, Adaptation (computer science) and Sustainable development.
While Fishery is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Intensive farming, Kappaphycus alvarezii and Habitat. The journal explores the study of Habitat to improve our understanding of the broader topic of Ecology. In addition to Climate change research, the journal aims to explore topics under Tropical cyclone and Physical geography.
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 Coastal Conservation (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 Coastal Conservation (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, 16.98% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 13.64% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 2.27% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 11.36% of all publications and 72.73% 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.

(2020)Exploring Environmental Sciences in the USA opens the door to various interdisciplinary fields that address critical environmental and societal challenges. For those interested in combining environmental expertise with safety protocols, environmental health and safety online degree programs offer specialized knowledge in managing workplace and public health risks linked to environmental factors.
Beyond the traditional sciences, counseling roles can intersect with environmental work, especially in community engagement and mental health support related to environmental change. Students curious about mental health can explore marriage and family therapy master's programs online or examine different areas to specialize in through counselling degree options, providing a holistic approach to environmental impact on human systems.
Another unique avenue is the field of behavioral analysis, where accredited bcba programs blend psychology and behavior science, helping develop sustainable habits essential for environmental stewardship. Together, these related degrees and career pathways enrich your understanding and capabilities, making you an adaptable professional ready to tackle today’s environmental challenges from multiple angles.
