Ranking & Metrics
Impact Score is a novel metric devised to rank conferences based on the number of contributing the best scientists in addition to the h-index estimated from the scientific papers published by the best scientists. See more details on our methodology page.
The journal focuses largely on the fields of Oceanography, Climatology, Meteorology, Ecology and Fishery.

Oceanography (40.22%)
Climatology (12.41%)
Meteorology (5.96%)
What are the most cited papers published in the journal?
The Great Ocean Conveyor (1011 citations)
Ocean Acidification: Present Conditions and Future Changes in a High-CO2 World (645 citations)
Dissolved organic matter in the ocean. A controversy stimulates new insights (568 citations)
Research areas of the most cited articles at Oceanography:
Oceanography, Climatology, Ecology, Meteorology and Redistribution (cultural anthropology) are the main subjects of interest in the most cited papers.
The most cited articles connects the study in Oceanography with the closely related areas of Ecosystem.
While the published papers focused on Climatology, they were also able to explore topics like Climate change and Atmospheric sciences.
What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?
World War II
Ecology
Oceanography
The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:
The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Oceanography, Ecology, Fishery, Deepwater horizon and Environmental resource management.
The journal holds forums on Oceanography that merges themes from other disciplines such as Marine protected area and Genomics.
While it focused on Ecology, it was also able to explore topics like Diversity (politics), Bioremediation, Composition (visual arts) and Complement (complexity).
In Oceanography, Biomass (ecology), Climate change and Plastic pollution are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Fishery research.
While work presented in Oceanography provided substantial information on Deepwater horizon, it also covered topics in Earth science, Socioeconomic status, Biogeochemical cycle and Petroleum engineering.
The presented research on Environmental resource management deals specifically with Function (engineering) but it also addresses topics in Ecosystem and Biodiversity.
The most cited articles from the last journal are:
Human Health and Socioeconomic Effects of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico (4 citations)
Impacts of petroleum, petroleum components, and dispersants on organisms and populations (4 citations)
A Decade of GoMRI Dispersant Science: Lessons Learned and Recommendations for the Future (4 citations)
Papers citation over time
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.

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.
Research.com
During the most recent 2021 edition, 96.72% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 50.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 50.00% of all publications and 0.00% 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.
