Soil Research primarily focuses on research topics in Soil water, Soil organic matter, Soil health, Soil science and Agronomy. The journal facilitates discussions on Soil water that incorporate concepts from other fields like Hydrology, Erosion, Water content and Environmental chemistry. The journal aims to address concerns in Hydrology, specifically in the areas of Surface runoff and Drainage.
Soil Research explores topics in Erosion which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Mediterranean climate and Sediment. Research on Water content addressed in the journal frequently intersections with the field of Moisture. The journal addresses concerns in Soil organic matter which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Organic matter, Soil carbon, Soil fertility, Soil pH and Soil horizon.
It explores research in Nutrient and overlapping concepts in Animal science to expand the discourse in Soil health. Most of the Soil science studies addressed also intersect with Infiltration (hydrology). Some problems in Agronomy that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Soil management, No-till farming and Soil quality.
The most cited papers explore disciplines such as Soil organic matter, Soil health, Soil water, Soil science and Agronomy. The journal papers explore issues in Soil organic matter which can be linked to other research areas like Organic matter, Soil carbon, Soil fertility, Soil structure and Environmental chemistry. Hydrology, Erosion and Water content are some topics wherein Soil water research discussed in the most cited papers has an impact.
Soil Research mostly deals with topics like Soil water, Agronomy, Soil carbon, Soil organic matter and Tillage. The discussions emphasized the topic of Soil water in an attempt to further explore the field of Soil science. The Agronomy works featured in it incorporate elements from Organic matter, Soil test, Soil pH, Biomass and Nutrient.
While Soil Research focused on Nutrient, it was also able to explore topics like Erosion and Soil health. It focuses on Soil organic matter but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Acrisol, Plough, Land management and Nitrogen. In the journal, Loam, Bulk density and Soil horizon are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Tillage 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 Soil 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 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 2021 edition, 16.05% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 30.88% 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 27.94% of all publications and 29.41% 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)Pursuing a degree in Plant Science and Agronomy opens doors to diverse career options focused on sustainability, agriculture, and food production. For students seeking complementary knowledge, an online nutrition degree can enhance understanding of plant-based nutrition and its impact on human health.
For those interested in branching out into healthcare alongside agriculture, accelerated nursing degrees offer flexible options. The online absn programs help non-nurses swiftly transition into nursing careers, blending practical healthcare skills with scientific knowledge.
Advancing in nursing requires strategic educational planning; knowing the fastest way to become a nurse practitioner can be crucial for those balancing careers in agronomy and healthcare.
Additionally, registered nurses looking to advance their qualifications may consider a 6-month rn to bsn program online, offering an accelerated path that accommodates busy schedules. These diverse degree pathways highlight the interdisciplinary opportunities linking Plant Science, Agronomy, and allied health fields.
