The foci of PALAIOS are Paleontology, Ecology, Taphonomy, Oceanography and Sedimentary depositional environment. It facilitated presentations on Paleontology research, particularly Cretaceous, Sedimentary rock, Paleoecology, Trace fossil and Facies. Clastic rock is a focus of the presented Sedimentary rock works and it dives deep in Clastic rock.
Reef, Fauna, Predation, Taxon and Habitat are all aspects of Ecology research featured in PALAIOS. PALAIOS explores issues in Taphonomy which can be linked to other research areas like Assemblage (archaeology) and Sediment. Oceanography studies presented in the journal focus on topics such as Benthic zone, Coral and Foraminifera.
The journal publications facilitate discussions on Paleontology, Ecology, Taphonomy, Oceanography and Sedimentary rock. Paleontology studies presented in the journal papers include Trace fossil, Facies, Paleozoic, Sedimentary depositional environment and Cretaceous. The journal articles hold forums on Taphonomy that merge themes from other disciplines such as Taxon, Assemblage (archaeology), Carbonate and Diagenesis.
PALAIOS is mainly concerned with subjects like Paleontology, Taphonomy, Trace fossil, Sedimentary depositional environment and Oceanography. The Paleontology research presented places emphasis on topics like Sediment, Cretaceous, Assemblage (archaeology), Sedimentary rock and Trilobite. In it, Pisco Formation, Baleen, Test (biology), Fluvial and Lance Formation are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Taphonomy research.
The studies on Trace fossil discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Archipelago, Outcrop, Mesozoic, Invertebrate and Plio-Pleistocene. Amazonian, Fauna, Bioturbation, Neogene and Lithology are some topics wherein Sedimentary depositional environment research discussed in the journal have an impact. The Storm, Estuary and Benthic zone studies presented in the journal fall under the field of Oceanography, but it also has connections to other fields such as Fidelity.
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 PALAIOS (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 PALAIOS (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, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 30.43% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 4.35% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.04% of all publications and 52.17% 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 Environmental Sciences in the USA opens doors to diverse career opportunities that address pressing global challenges. Many graduates choose to enhance their skills through flexible online programs. For those interested in combining scientific knowledge with practical applications, pursuing an environmental engineering online degree provides a strong foundation in sustainable design and resource management.
Career options with an environmental science background are broad, ranging from conservation roles to policy-making. Exploring what can you do with an environmental studies degree offers valuable insights into potential pathways, including roles in advocacy, research, and environmental consulting.
Many professionals complement their environmental knowledge with skills in psychology or healthcare. For example, understanding behavioral aspects can enhance effectiveness in community health roles. Investigating the how much does a masters in psychology cost helps prospective students plan their education investments wisely.
For those considering healthcare intersections, roles like nurse practitioners can provide unique opportunities to contribute to environmental health. Reviewing the nurse practitioner salary by state offers a realistic outlook on compensation in this vital profession.
