The journal is mainly concerned with subjects like Paleontology, Geochemistry, Structural basin, Sedimentary rock and Cretaceous. Gondwana, Facies, Sedimentary depositional environment, Tectonics and Paleozoic are Paleontology topics of special interest in it. Journal of South American Earth Sciences focuses on Facies as well as the interrelated topic of Fluvial.
Journal of South American Earth Sciences focuses on Tectonics research which is adjacent to topics in Geomorphology. Journal of South American Earth Sciences links adjacent topics like Paleozoic with Permian. Zircon, Metamorphism, Mafic, Volcanic rock and Metamorphic rock are among the concentrations of Geochemistry that garnered much attention in the journal.
Zircon research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Terrane, Provenance, Craton, Geochronology and Archean. It is focused mainly on Structural basin, particularly Foreland basin. Studies on Sedimentary rock discussed in Journal of South American Earth Sciences link to the field of Basement (geology).
The published papers focus on Paleontology, Geochemistry, Zircon, Geomorphology and Sedimentary rock. While work presented in the journal articles provide substantial information on Geochemistry, it also covers topics in Petrology, Craton and Terrane. The Geomorphology research tackled in the journal publications is interrelated with Subduction which concerns subjects like Volcanic rock.
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 South American Earth Sciences (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 South American Earth Sciences (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, 7.55% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 60.88% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.90% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.59% of all publications and 14.63% 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)Studying Earth Science opens up diverse career opportunities, and pursuing the right educational pathway is essential. Many students explore online associate degree options as a foundation, offering flexibility and a cost-effective start to enter environmental technician roles or GIS specialists.
For those aiming to advance further, obtaining a master’s degree can be pivotal. Some programs are among the quickest cheapest masters degree options, enabling professionals to upskill rapidly without heavy financial burdens. These accelerated degrees can fast-track careers in environmental consulting or research.
Choosing the right master’s is crucial since some are regarded as the most valuable masters degrees, particularly those focusing on sustainability and natural resource management. These programs tend to have strong job placement rates and higher earning potential.
Alongside formal degrees, earning certifications that pay well can further boost your resume. Certifications in areas like environmental health and geographic information systems (GIS) provide targeted skills that employers value, enhancing employability in this competitive field.
