The foci of Journal of Land Use Science are Land use, Land use, land-use change and forestry, Environmental resource management, Agroforestry and Land cover. Land use research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Agriculture, Deforestation, Environmental planning and Environmental protection. Journal of Land Use Science features Agriculture research that overlaps with concepts in Agricultural economics.
The journal connects the study in Deforestation with the closely related area of Amazon rainforest. While Land use, land-use change and forestry is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Urbanization and Natural resource economics. Environmental resource management research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Ecology, Ecosystem services, Sustainability, Ecosystem and Remote sensing (archaeology).
The study on Agroforestry presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Biodiversity. While the journal focused on Land cover, it was also able to explore topics like Cartography, Land development, Hydrology, Land information system and Remote sensing.
The journal articles generally zeroe in on subjects such as Land use, Land use, land-use change and forestry, Land cover, Environmental resource management and Deforestation. The published papers with studies in Land use featured incorporate elements of Environmental planning, Spatial database, Hydrology, Spatial ecology and Operations research. The most cited papers explore topics in Land use, land-use change and forestry which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Urbanization, Agricultural land and Land management.
Journal of Land Use Science focuses on Land use, land-use change and forestry, Land use, Environmental planning, Environmental resource management and Agroforestry. The research on Land use, land-use change and forestry featured in the journal combines topics in other fields like Agricultural intensification, Political economy, Deforestation, Urban planning and Landscape change. Aside from Land use, the journal also covered works in the field of Making-of.
The research on Environmental planning tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Digital mapping, Resource (biology), Rangeland, Agricultural land and Visualization. Discussions in Journal of Land Use Science are anchored in the subject of Environmental resource management and the similar topic of Spatial contextual awareness. It focuses on Agroforestry but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Quality (business), Land cover, Agricultural productivity and Harm.
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 Land Use Science (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 Land Use Science (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, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 20.83% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 16.67% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 8.33% of all publications and 54.17% 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 studying Environmental Sciences in the USA, there are several related online degrees that can expand career opportunities. One popular option is pursuing an online environmental engineering degree. This program combines environmental science principles with engineering skills to address sustainability and pollution control.
Another valuable pathway includes programs focused on health and safety in environmental contexts. Many students choose environmental health and safety online degree programs, which prepare graduates to manage workplace and community health risks tied to environmental hazards.
While less directly connected to environmental sciences, interdisciplinary programs such as bcba degree programs provide skills in behavior analysis, which can be applied in environmental education and rehabilitation contexts.
Lastly, students may explore accelerated options outside environmental fields that complement ecological study, like 5 year accelerated speech pathology programs. These offer fast-tracked credentials for those interested in combining communication science with environmental outreach roles.
