Koedoe covers a variety of subjects, including Ecology, National park, Ecology (disciplines), Vegetation and Habitat. The in-depth study on Ecology also explores topics in the intersecting field of Cape. It explores issues in National park which can be linked to other research areas like Zoology, Environmental resource management and Environmental protection.
Vegetation research discussed connects with the study of Ordination. Research on Plant community addressed in it frequently intersections with the field of Vegetation classification.
The most cited publications explore disciplines such as National park, Ecology, Environmental resource management, Ecology (disciplines) and Vegetation. The journal publications explore topics in National park which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Agroforestry, Agronomy, Environmental protection, Forestry and African elephant. The journal papers address concerns in Vegetation which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Soil water, Nature reserve and Grazing.
The main research concerns discussed in the journal are National park, Archaeology, Socioeconomics, Wildlife and Environmental resource management. National park study tackled is connected to the field of Spatial distribution. Archaeology research featured in Koedoe incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Checklist and Woodland.
Koedoe aims to bridge the gap between the study of Socioeconomics and Rabies virus. The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Wildlife, apply to Climate change as well. Koedoe explores topics in Environmental resource management which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Crocodile and Ecological reserve.
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 Koedoe (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 Koedoe (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, 36.36% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 71.43% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 28.57% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 0.00% 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)Environmental Sciences open doors to diverse career opportunities aimed at solving some of the planet's most pressing challenges. Graduates often pursue roles in conservation, policy making, environmental consulting, and research. For those curious about specific outcomes, exploring what jobs can you get with an environmental science degree offers valuable insights into potential career paths.
For students interested in the technical side, pursuing an online environmental engineering degree provides an affordable, flexible way to gain specialized skills in designing sustainable systems and reducing environmental impact.
Beyond environmental science, related fields such as health and behavioral sciences also offer important career paths. For individuals passionate about helping others, an accelerated slp master's program prepares students for fast-tracked careers in speech-language pathology.
Similarly, becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst is possible through some well-structured bcba programs, which can also be pursued online, offering flexibility while preparing for a rewarding career in behavioral therapy.
