Plant and Soil facilitates discussions on Agronomy, Botany, Plant physiology, Soil water and Nutrient. Some problems in Agronomy that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Phosphorus and Nitrogen. The journal investigates Nitrogen research which frequently intersects with Nitrate.
The journal connects research in Nitrate with the related topic of Ammonium. The work on Botany tackled in Plant and Soil brings together disciplines like Nitrogen fixation, Rhizosphere, Mycorrhiza and Horticulture. Topics in Plant physiology were tackled in line with various other fields like Inoculation, Cultivar, Ecology (disciplines), Biochemistry and Animal science.
It holds forums on Soil water that merges themes from other disciplines such as Environmental chemistry, Organic matter and Water content. Discussions in it are anchored in the subject of Organic matter and the similar topic of Soil organic matter. The majority of Ecology studies in Plant and Soil are focused on the subject of Ecosystem.
The journal papers focus on Agronomy, Botany, Plant physiology, Soil water and Nutrient. Phosphorus, Soil fertility and Nitrogen are some topics wherein Agronomy research discussed in the journal publications has an impact. The Botany research tackled in the most cited publications is interrelated with Mycorrhiza which concerns subjects like Glomus.
The journal focuses largely on the fields of Agronomy, Plant physiology, Soil water, Rhizosphere and Nutrient. The journal addresses concerns in Agronomy which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Soil carbon, Ecosystem and Water content. Ecosystem research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Grassland and Grazing.
Plant and Soil focuses on Plant physiology research as part of the broader topic of Botany. The studies in Soil water featured incorporate elements of Environmental chemistry and Organic matter. The concepts on Rhizosphere presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Microorganism, Soil pH and Microbial population biology.
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 Plant and Soil (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 Plant and Soil (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, 5.49% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 32.33% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.37% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.02% of all publications and 46.28% 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)For students exploring Chemistry in the USA, there are several adjacent online degree options that can open diverse career pathways. For those interested in healthcare administration, the best medical billing and coding schools online provide affordable, flexible programs often eligible for financial aid.
If you are more inclined toward diagnostic technology, online radiology tech programs online offer practical training in imaging techniques, creating opportunities in hospitals and clinics nationwide.
For those seeking patient-facing roles, many online medical assistant programs that accept financial aid combine clinical skills with administrative competencies, making them a great step following a background in Chemistry.
Advanced nursing professionals can also consider transitioning through specialized courses like msn to dnp online no clinicals programs, which allow degree advancement without the need for additional on-site clinical hours. This flexibility suits working professionals aiming to enhance their qualifications.
