Publication chance based on affiliation

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, 26.09% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 58.82% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.88% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.65% of all publications and 17.65% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

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.

Returning Institution Index

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.

The experience to innovation index

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:

• Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
• Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
• Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
• Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
• Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

Career Opportunities for Geography Graduates

The thorough study of geography as featured in journals like Norsk Geografisk Tidsskrift-norwegian Journal of Geography paints a diverse and interdisciplinary array of research areas, thus preparing students and enthusiasts in this field for a diverse range of career paths. For instance, students can explore professions ranging from environmental consultancy, town planning, and landscape architecture to jobs in tourism, transport, and even education.

However, one unique but impactful career path that geography graduates might not immediately consider is counseling. An understanding of geography can appreciably contribute to the field of counseling by providing a broader comprehension of the environmental factors that influence behavior and mental health. Geographic knowledge linked with counseling skills can aid in the development of targeted community programs and enable more efficient use of resources.

Thus, if geography enthusiasts are considering a slightly unconventional but rewarding career path, they might want to consider becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). For those pondering over this option, you can start by exploring resources on Getting counseling license in Rhode Island. You'll find comprehensive information on the requisites to becoming an LPC, from necessary qualifications to work experience, and even getting the license itself. And although this resource is specific for Rhode Island, the requirements would be similar in other states and can provide a useful roadmap wherever you plan to practice.

Irrespective of the professional path geography graduates eventually decide to take, it is important to remember that the power of geography lies in its capacity to combine different perspectives - be it physical, human or environmental - offering a comprehensive view of the world and how it works.
