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.

Returning Institution Index

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.

The experience to innovation index

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:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

Career Opportunities Related to Economic and Social Geography

While the focus of this article is predominantly scholarly, readers might also be curious about potential career opportunities that stem from study and research in economic and social geography, especially as it connects to the wider societal impacts. For instance, research in these areas plays a vital role in understanding socio-economic patterns and can be particularly beneficial for roles within policy-making and public administration, city and regional planning, environmental consultation, and even more specific career paths such as substance abuse counseling.

A career in substance abuse counseling often begins with an understanding of societal patterns and populations, knowledge that can be honed through studies within economic and social geography. To pursue a career that combines these studies with a passion for helping others, becoming a licensed substance abuse counselor can be a great fit. How to become a licensed substance abuse counselor in Colorado provides a detailed guide on educational requirements, licensing information, and insights on job responsibilities for those considering this career path in Colorado. Overall, the fields of economic and social geography can offer multifaceted and rewarding career opportunities.
