The main research concerns discussed in Soil Use and Management are Agronomy, Soil water, Hydrology, Soil science and Soil management. The Agronomy works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Soil carbon, Leaching (agriculture) and Soil fertility. Soil Use and Management deals with Soil carbon in conjunction with Soil organic matter and similar fields in Organic matter.
Many of the studies tackled connect Soil fertility with a similar field of study like Soil quality. The Soil water study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Water content. The research on Hydrology tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Soil conservation and Land use.
Bulk density, Soil structure, Soil horizon and Pedotransfer function are among the concentrations of Soil science that garnered much attention in it. While Fertilizer is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Phosphorus, Nutrient, Manure and Nitrogen. In it, No-till farming and Plough are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Tillage research.
The most cited articles facilitate discussions on Agronomy, Soil water, Hydrology, Soil management and Fertilizer. While Agronomy is the focus of the published articles, it also provides insights into the studies of Nitrate, Loam and Leaching (agriculture). The Soil water study featured in the most cited publications falls within the wider field of Soil science.
The primary areas of discussion in Soil Use and Management are Agronomy, Environmental chemistry, Biochar, Soil water and Nitrogen. While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Agronomy, it also covered topics in Soil organic matter, Yield (engineering), Soil carbon and Phosphorus. The studies on Environmental chemistry discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Organic matter, Ammonium, Nitrous oxide, Carbon and Nutrient.
Soil Use and Management explores topics in Biochar which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Field trial, Soil properties, Crop yield and Soil conditioner. Soil quality and Soil management are some of the study areas of Soil water discussed. The work on Nitrogen addressed in it expands to the thematically related Nitrate.
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 Use and Management (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 Use and Management (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, 4.96% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 19.40% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.97% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 9.70% of all publications and 64.93% 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)Pursuing a degree in Environmental Sciences opens diverse career opportunities that address critical global challenges. For those interested in expanding their expertise, consider exploring affordable options, such as the environmental engineering online degree, which combines technical skills with environmental problem-solving.
Graduates with an Environmental Science degree can access several high-demand roles with strong earning potential. For insights on lucrative career paths, see the guide on high-paying jobs with environmental science degree. This resource highlights opportunities across sectors like consulting, conservation, and policy development.
In addition, interdisciplinary studies might appeal to students seeking broader qualifications. For example, pairing environmental knowledge with social sciences can be enhanced by pursuing a masters in psychology, which can prepare graduates for roles focusing on human behavior and environmental impact.
For those looking for faster educational pathways, accelerated programs in complementary fields, such as speech pathology, may provide unique career flexibility. Check out the accelerated speech pathology programs that can be completed online to expand your professional skill set alongside environmental studies.
