The journal generally zeroes in on subjects such as Ecology, Oceanography, Fishery, Benthic zone and Habitat. Intertidal zone, Abundance (ecology), Trophic level, Estuary and Ecosystem are among the concentrations of Ecology that garnered much attention in Journal of Sea Research. In addition to Oceanography research, it aims to explore topics under Phytoplankton and Sediment.
While work presented in Journal of Sea Research provided substantial information on Phytoplankton, it also covered topics in Biomass (ecology), Bloom and Diatom. Sediment and Hydrology are closely related fields of research discussed in Journal of Sea Research. While Journal of Sea Research focused on Fishery, it was also able to explore topics like Juvenile, Predation and Flatfish.
Benthos is a major topic of Benthic zone research.
The published papers facilitate discussions on Ecology, Oceanography, Benthic zone, Fishery and Phytoplankton. While the primary focus in the most cited articles is Oceanography, they also dissect topics surrounding Sediment and Hydrology as a whole. While Fishery is the key highlight in the most cited publications, thet also covered some subjects on Flatfish and Pleuronectes.
The discussions in Journal of Sea Research mainly cover the fields of Ecology, Benthic zone, Oceanography, Abundance (ecology) and Ecosystem. Journal of Sea Research primarily discusses Ecology topics, particularly Habitat, Intertidal zone, Species richness, Salinity and Polychaete. Topics in Benthic zone explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Coral reef, Continental shelf, Pelagic zone, Coral and Concholepas.
Issues in Oceanography were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Phytoplankton, Kelp and Sediment. The Ecosystem works featured in Journal of Sea Research incorporate elements from Trophic level, Fishery, Eleginops maclovinus and Transect. The journal tackles studies in Aquaculture and the interrelated subject of Larva to gain insights into Fishery.
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 Sea 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 Sea 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, 14.04% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 30.61% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 2.04% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.24% of all publications and 55.10% 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 students interested in environmental sciences, exploring related online degrees can open doors to diverse career opportunities. Those passionate about linking human health with the environment might consider advanced studies similar to a masters in psychology. This pathway is valuable for understanding behavioral aspects in environmental contexts.
Another dynamic option is an online environmental engineering degree, which blends technical expertise with environmental problem-solving. Graduates in this field can tackle challenges related to sustainability, pollution control, and resource management.
Understanding salary trends and state-specific demand can also shape career decisions. For example, those considering healthcare roles linked to environmental wellness might explore the psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner salary landscape as it reflects evolving healthcare needs influenced by environmental factors.
Ultimately, students with an environmental science foundation have access to a wide array of roles. Learning more about jobs for environmental science majors can help clarify how to blend passion with practical career goals in sustainability, conservation, policy, and beyond.
