The journal investigates studies in Radiocarbon dating, Archaeology, Absolute dating, Carbon and Chronology. The featured Radiocarbon dating research is covered under the field of Paleontology. In particular, the Paleontology works presented emphasize discussions on Pleistocene.
While Archaeology is the focus of Radiocarbon, it also provided insights into the studies of Period (geology) and Charcoal. Absolute dating research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Peat and Geochemistry, Geochronology. While work presented in it provided substantial information on Carbon, it also covered topics in Environmental chemistry, Radiochemistry and Mineralogy.
It focuses on Holocene research which is adjacent to topics in Physical geography. The study on Radionuclide presented in the journal intersects with subjects under the field of Isotope. Radiocarbon links adjacent topics like Quaternary with Cenozoic.
The published articles aim to foster the development of research in Radiocarbon dating, Absolute dating, Archaeology, Quaternary and Paleontology. The most cited papers address concerns in the field of Radiocarbon dating by exploring it in line with topics in Holocene which intersect with Dendrochronology subjects. The published articles in Natural (archaeology) fall within the purview of Archaeology but it also intertwines with topics in Western europe.
The discussions in the journal mainly cover the fields of Radiocarbon dating, Archaeology, Chronology, Period (geology) and Physical geography. It is focused mainly on Radiocarbon dating, particularly Accelerator mass spectrometry. The Archaeology research presented places emphasis on topics like Bronze Age, Pottery, Human settlement, Chalcolithic and Mesolithic.
The studies on Chronology discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Upper Paleolithic, Iron Age, Excavation and Bronze. It holds forums on Period (geology) that merges themes from other disciplines such as History of China, Shang dynasty, China, Oracle and Ancient history. The studies in Physical geography featured incorporate elements of Tree (data structure) and Bay.
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 Radiocarbon (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 Radiocarbon (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, 38.98% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 26.39% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 18.06% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.06% of all publications and 37.50% 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)For those interested in Earth Science, pursuing related online degrees can open doors to exciting career paths. Many students, including military personnel, seek flexible learning options. Finding the best online college for military can provide tailored support and convenient access to quality Earth Science programs.
Aside from traditional degrees, short certificate programs offer quick entry into the workforce. Some short certificate programs that pay well are available in related fields like environmental management and GIS, allowing students to gain specialized skills without extensive time commitments.
For those aiming to advance further, online master's programs can be an efficient way to deepen expertise. Exploring the quickest cheapest masters degree options helps identify affordable, accelerated paths that fit busy schedules.
When selecting a master's degree, consider its value in the job market. Researching which masters degrees are worth it ensures your investment pays off with strong career prospects in Earth Science and related industries.
