Soil & Tillage Research is organized to address concerns in the fields of Agronomy, Tillage, Soil water, Soil science and Loam. Some problems in Agronomy that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Soil organic matter, No-till farming, Soil fertility and Soil carbon. The studies in Soil organic matter featured incorporate elements of Organic matter and Soil quality.
The research on No-till farming tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Soil biodiversity, Soil management, Cropping system and Agroforestry. The journal addresses concerns in Soil carbon which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Total organic carbon and Fertilizer. Soil & Tillage Research facilitates discussions on Tillage that incorporate concepts from other fields like Crop yield, Crop residue and Plough.
While Soil water is the focus of Soil & Tillage Research, it also provided insights into the studies of Hydrology, Geotechnical engineering and Water content. The Loam study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Soil classification. While the journal focused on Minimum tillage, it was also able to explore topics like Mulch-till and Strip-till.
The journal papers mainly tackle studies in Agronomy, Tillage, Soil water, No-till farming and Soil science. While Agronomy is the focus of the most cited papers, it also provides insights into the studies of Soil organic matter, Soil carbon, Loam and Soil quality. The most cited articles explore topics in Soil water which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Hydrology, Water content and Organic matter.
The objective of the journal is to combine knowledge in the areas of Soil water, Soil science, Tillage, Soil carbon and Agronomy. While Soil water is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Agriculture, Animal science and Human fertilization. The research on Soil science tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Porosity, Calibration, Tiller (botany) and Water content.
The Tillage works featured in it incorporate elements from Discrete element method, Cover (algebra), Loam, Agricultural engineering and Residue (complex analysis). The tackled Soil carbon research is interrelated with Fertilizer which concerns subjects like Soil management, Cropping system and Humus. The work on Agronomy tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Phosphorus and Topsoil.
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 Soil & Tillage Research (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 Soil & Tillage Research (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 2022 edition, 23.53% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 23.08% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.54% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 19.23% of all publications and 46.15% 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 Environmental Sciences in the USA opens doors to a variety of career paths that extend beyond traditional roles. For those interested in combining environmental expertise with mental health, exploring different types of therapist degrees can be valuable. This fusion addresses community well-being and environmental stress factors.
Another growing field is healthcare with an environmental focus, such as psychiatric nursing. If you're considering this path, understanding how much does a psychiatric nurse practitioner make by state can help you plan a rewarding and sustainable career.
For professionals seeking flexible education options, enrolling in an online psychology masters program can complement environmental knowledge with mental health insights, enriching career opportunities.
Ultimately, understanding the diverse jobs for environmental science majors available will help you tailor your education and career path to meet current environmental and societal needs.
