The aim of the journal is to expand the discussion of research in Paleontology, Genus, Ecology, Zoology and Permian. It focuses on different Paleontology studies like Cretaceous, Devonian, Taxon, Stage (stratigraphy) and Carboniferous. The research on Cretaceous discussed in it draws on the closely related field of Mesozoic.
While Genus is the focus of Paleontological Journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Ammonoidea and Subfamily. Paleontological Journal emphasizes research on Ecology, which includes concerns such as Fauna.
The journal articles investigate studies in Paleontology, Ecology, Genus, Cretaceous and Permian. Most of the Paleontology studies addressed in the journal publications also intersect with Fauna. While Genus is the focus of the journal papers, it also provides insights into the studies of Devonian and Subfamily.
Paleontological Journal investigates studies in Paleontology, Genus, Zoology, Permian and Taxon. The Paleontology study featured in it draws connections with the study of Fauna. The Genus works featured in Paleontological Journal incorporate elements from Bivalvia, Subfamily and Aptian.
Topics in Zoology explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Trogoderma, Megatominae, Dermestidae, Elephant fish and Dentition. Research in Paleozoic and the interrelating topic of Cenozoic, Orthoptera and SUPERFAMILY were among the subjects of interest in the Permian studies discussed in it. The presented Taxon study covers related areas such as Striatolamia and also touches on topics like Central asia.
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 Paleontological Journal (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 Paleontological Journal (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, 15.15% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 96.43% 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 1.79% of all publications and 1.79% 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)Studying Earth Science can open doors to diverse career opportunities, from environmental consulting to geotechnical engineering. For those looking to advance quickly, some of the fastest online masters programs offer flexible options that allow students to earn advanced credentials without long time commitments.
Choosing the right degree is essential. Many professionals find that earning a master’s degree in Earth Science or related fields not only enhances expertise but also improves job prospects. Exploring masters degrees that are worth it can help you identify programs that balance educational value with career demand.
For those just beginning their academic journey, pursuing an online associate degree provides an affordable and accessible pathway to enter the field or transfer into a bachelor’s program later. These degrees can also serve as a low-risk way to test your interest in Earth Science-related careers.
Affordability is a key consideration when opting for online education. Many online colleges offer competitive tuition rates, scholarships, and financial aid, making Earth Science studies accessible to a wider range of students.
