Journal of Sustainable Forestry facilitates discussions on Agroforestry, Environmental resource management, Forest management, Ecology and Botany. The work on Agroforestry tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Land use, Agriculture, Deforestation, Logging and Forest ecology. Topics in Environmental resource management explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Natural resource, Biodiversity, Ecosystem services, Natural resource economics and Sustainability.
The research on Forest management featured in the journal combines topics in other fields like Intact forest landscape and Forest restoration. In addition to Botany research, the journal aims to explore topics under Agronomy and Horticulture.
The journal publications cover a variety of subjects, including Environmental resource management, Agroforestry, Ecology, Forest management and Sustainability. While work presented in the journal papers provide substantial information on Environmental resource management, it also covers topics in Ecosystem management, Ecosystem services, Corporate governance, Natural resource economics and Payment. The published articles focus on Agroforestry but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Agriculture, Deforestation, Biodiversity and Logging.
Journal of Sustainable Forestry covers a variety of subjects, including Agroforestry, Forestry, Agronomy, Forest management and Tree species. The studies in Agroforestry featured incorporate elements of Livelihood, Invasive species, Forest ecology, Productivity and Sustainability. While Journal of Sustainable Forestry focused on Sustainability, it was also able to explore topics like Forest reserve and Environmental resource management.
The presented research on Agronomy deals specifically with Soil water but it also addresses topics in Afforestation. While work presented in it provided substantial information on Forest management, it also covered topics in Forest resource, Remote sensing (archaeology), Arid, Silviculture and Nature reserve. The discussions emphasized the topic of Tree species in an attempt to further explore the field of Ecology.
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 Sustainable Forestry (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 Sustainable Forestry (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, 6.38% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 9.09% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 13.64% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 10.23% of all publications and 67.05% 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 expanding their expertise beyond traditional plant science and agronomy, there are numerous online degree options that complement this field. Health and nutrition play a crucial role in agricultural productivity and food systems. Pursuing a masters degree in nutrition can provide valuable insights into how plant-based diets impact human health and sustainable agriculture.
Healthcare and plant science intersect in areas like herbal medicine and bioactive compounds. Students may consider accelerated online healthcare programs such as accelerated np programs online to fast-track their careers in advanced practice nursing, integrating knowledge of plant-derived medicines.
Continuing education like a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) can enhance leadership roles in healthcare-related agricultural research or community health. When considering further study, the average cost of dnp program is a key factor in selecting the right online program.
For those focusing on public health aspects of plant science, exploring some of the best easiest mph online programs to get into can provide accessible pathways into public health policy, agricultural environmental health, or food safety careers.
