The topics of Seismology, Environmental planning, Environmental resource management, Emergency management and Hydrology are the focal point of discussions in the journal. The main emphasis of it is the research on Hydrology, emphasizing the topic of Flood myth.
The published papers explore disciplines such as Seismology, Geotechnical engineering, Environmental planning, Forensic engineering and Remote sensing. The published Seismology research zeroes in on concepts in Volcano but also tackles themes under Field survey. The published papers explore research in Disaster mitigation and overlapping concepts in Sediment, Vulnerability, Earthquake scenario, Civil engineering and Tsunami hazard to expand the discourse in Forensic engineering.
Journal of disaster research covers a variety of subjects, including Emergency management, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Landslide, Environmental planning and Pandemic. The research on Emergency management featured in the journal combines topics in other fields like Government, Medical emergency, Public relations and Public administration. Landslide research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Monsoon of South Asia, Slope stability analysis, Climatology and Groundwater.
The studies on Environmental planning discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Disaster response, Flood myth and Resilience (network). Pandemic research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Transmission (medicine), China and Coronavirus. It focuses on Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) but sometimes tackles the closely related disciplines such as
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 disaster research (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 disaster research (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, 62.90% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 43.48% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.87% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 19.57% of all publications and 26.09% 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 Environmental Sciences in the USA opens a variety of career pathways that combine scientific knowledge with practical applications. One popular option is pursuing an online environmental engineering degree, which equips students with skills to design sustainable solutions for environmental challenges.
Graduates can find roles in government agencies, private firms, or non-profits, focusing on areas such as pollution control, natural resource management, and environmental consulting. For those interested in broader interdisciplinary work, understanding mental health aspects related to environmental issues is gaining importance. Pursuing an online masters in psychology complements environmental studies by addressing human behavior and mental health in the context of environmental stressors.
Healthcare and environmental science intersect in careers like psychiatric nurse practitioners, where professionals support community well-being. Exploring mental health nurse practitioner salary trends can help prospective students understand the economic potential in such integrated fields.
