The journal tackles a plethora of topics, such as Forest management, Agriculture, Agroforestry, Forestry and Environmental resource management. In particular, the Forest management works presented emphasize discussions on Community forestry. Community forestry research discussed connects with the study of Corporate governance.
Agriculture research featured in Small-scale Forestry incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Production (economics), Scale (social sciences), Socioeconomics, Government and Tree planting. While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Agroforestry, it also covered topics in Biodiversity, Carbon sequestration, Shifting cultivation, Productivity and Subsistence agriculture. It emphasizes research on Forestry, which includes concerns such as Logging.
Small-scale Forestry explores issues in Environmental resource management which can be linked to other research areas like Natural resource economics, Certified wood, Land use and Sustainable forest management. Research on Certified wood presented in Small-scale Forestry concerns the broader topic of Certification. Most of the Livelihood studies addressed also intersect with Economic growth.
The journal papers are organized to reinforce research efforts on Forest management, Agriculture, Environmental resource management, Agroforestry and Forestry. The published papers are mostly focused on Forest management, specifically Community forestry. In addition to Agriculture research, the journal articles aim to explore topics under Production (economics), Ecosystem services, Rural area, Poverty and Sustainability.
The aim of Small-scale Forestry is to expand the discussion of research in Forest management, Agriculture, Agroforestry, Livelihood and China. Forest management research discussed in it aim to provide more information in the subject of Forestry. The studies in Agriculture featured incorporate elements of Government, Socioeconomic status and Quality (business).
The research on Agroforestry tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Wildlife, Forest ecology, Recreation, Focus group and Sociology of scientific knowledge. Livelihood research in the journal involves the investigation of Public policy studies, all of which are linked to disciplines such as Value chain, Sustainable development, Profit margin and Poverty. The study of Property rights and how it intertwines with concepts under Market value, Mediation, Public economics and Scale (social sciences) were explored in the presented China research.
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 Small-scale Forestry (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 Small-scale Forestry (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, 8.11% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 20.59% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.76% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.59% of all publications and 47.06% 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 Ecology and Evolution opens diverse career paths that often intersect with healthcare, environmental management, and technology. For those interested in applying biological knowledge to health sciences, programs like ultrasound tech school offer specialized skills in medical imaging, bridging biology and patient care.
Similarly, environmental health and community well-being are closely linked to nursing roles. Online programs such as online associate nursing programs provide accessible training for those aiming to impact public health through nursing, often collaborating in ecological conservation efforts.
For professionals seeking leadership positions, advanced degrees like a phd in healthcare management are valuable. These programs prepare graduates to manage complex systems where ecological principles influence healthcare policy and administration.
Additionally, mental health awareness relevant to ecological changes can be enhanced through shorter, focused programs such as pmhnp certificate programs. These certificates support career growth in behavioral health, addressing how environmental factors impact mental wellness.
