The main research concerns discussed in Solid Earth Sciences are Geochemistry, Zircon, Mineralization (geology), Subduction and Materials science. Geochronology, Sedimentary rock, Partial melting, Pyrite and Continental crust are among the areas of Geochemistry tackled. Some problems in Sedimentary rock that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Sediment, Structural basin, Tectonics and Igneous rock.
The work on Zircon tackled in Solid Earth Sciences brings together disciplines like Proterozoic, Petrology, Mafic and Breccia. Mineralization (geology) research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Muscovite, Mineral redox buffer, Prospecting and Petrogenesis. The Subduction works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Mantle plume and Plate tectonics.
The journal served as a forum through which researchers explored works on Materials science in conjunction with disciplines such as Mineralogy, Analytical chemistry, Spinel, Bond length and Secondary ion mass spectrometry. The featured works in Clay minerals, which all belong in the domain if Mineralogy, also overlaps with concepts under Laser ablation and Image resolution. Electron microprobe and Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry research are fields of study within Analytical chemistry but they also intertwine with concepts in Reproducibility, Ion beam and Accuracy and precision.
The published articles explore disciplines such as Subduction, Analytical chemistry, Geochemistry, Materials science and Accuracy and precision. While Analytical chemistry is the focus of the published papers, it also provides insights into the studies of Isotope analysis and Isotope. The published Geochemistry works encompass concepts such as Igneous rock, Felsic, Basalt and Geochronology and examines them in conjunction with Saturation (chemistry).
The journal explores disciplines such as Geochemistry, Mineralization (geology), Sedimentary rock, Zircon and Materials science. It explores issues in Geochemistry which can be linked to other research areas like Magnetite and Permian. Topics in Mineralization (geology) explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Country rock, Pluton and Petrogenesis.
Solid Earth Sciences facilitates discussions on Sedimentary rock that incorporate concepts from other fields like Sedimentary depositional environment, Structural basin, Clay minerals and Feldspar. The study of Structural basin encompasses disciplines such as Pacific ocean, as well as fields such as Tectonics, Fault (geology), Subduction and Crust, all of which overlap with one another. While Zircon is the focus of Solid Earth Sciences, it also provided insights into the studies of Muscovite and Diagenesis.
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 Solid Earth Sciences (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 Solid Earth Sciences (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, 7.69% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 58.33% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.83% of all publications and 20.83% 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 Earth Science opens up various career opportunities, from environmental consulting to GIS analysis. For working adults, finding affordable education options is crucial. Many students benefit from exploring the most affordable online colleges for working adults, which offer flexible schedules and cost-effective programs.
Not everyone has a perfect academic record, but that shouldn’t be a barrier to pursuing an Earth Science degree. Several institutions listed among online colleges that accept low GPA provide supportive environments and pathways for success, making higher education more accessible.
Specialized programs like Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are integral to Earth Science careers. Students interested in spatial analysis and mapping can find top-notch options by researching colleges with GIS programs. These programs blend technology and science to prepare students for a growing job market.
Additionally, comprehensive knowledge of geology is essential. Online learners should consider exploring geology degrees online, which provide flexible learning for those aiming to understand Earth's physical structure and processes thoroughly.
