Wetlands explores disciplines such as Wetland, Ecology, Hydrology, Landscape ecology and Marsh. The concepts on Wetland presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Agronomy, Habitat, Ecosystem and Plant community, Vegetation. It holds forums on Agronomy that merges themes from other disciplines such as Nutrient and Botany.
Wetlands connects the study in Habitat with the closely related area of Fishery. Topics like Species richness, Biomass (ecology), Abundance (ecology), Invertebrate and Biodiversity are tackled as part of the discussions on Ecology. The work on Species richness addressed in it expands to the thematically related Species diversity.
Some problems in Hydrology that were presented in Wetlands overlapped with concepts under Soil water and Sediment. While work presented in Wetlands provided substantial information on Landscape ecology, it also covered topics in Land use, Ecosystem services, Ecology (disciplines), Environmental resource management and Hydrogeology. The study of Salt marsh and how it intertwines with concepts under Spartina alterniflora were explored in the presented Marsh research.
The most cited publications explore disciplines such as Wetland, Ecology, Hydrology, Landscape ecology and Marsh. The most cited papers explore research in Agronomy and overlapping concepts in Botany and Nutrient to expand the discourse in Wetland. While the published papers focused on Hydrology, they were also able to explore topics like Peat, Sediment and Riparian zone.
Wetlands tackles a plethora of topics, such as Wetland, Landscape ecology, Ecology, Ecosystem and Habitat. The presentations focused mostly on Wetland in an attempt to further explore topics in Hydrology. It deals with Landscape ecology in conjunction with Ecosystem services and similar fields in Resource (biology).
The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Ecology, apply to Natural (archaeology) as well. Concepts in Abundance (ecology), as well as related topics in Water quality, are covered in the Ecosystem research presented in the journal. Habitat research featured in Wetlands incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Range (biology), Estuary, Fishery, Agriculture and Foraging.
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 Wetlands (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 Wetlands (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, 5.10% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 12.90% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 2.15% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 8.60% of all publications and 76.34% 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)For those interested in advancing their knowledge in Environmental Sciences, exploring related online degrees can open up diverse career opportunities. One popular option is pursuing an environmental engineering degree. This program emphasizes designing sustainable solutions for environmental challenges, blending science and technical skills.
Another valuable pathway is earning a certification through environmental health and safety online degree programs. Graduates in this field focus on creating safer workplaces and communities by managing risks related to environmental hazards.
While not directly related to environmental sciences, interdisciplinary knowledge can enhance career prospects. For instance, accelerated programs such as accelerated speech pathology programs provide fast-tracked education for those interested in communication disorders, showcasing the value of flexible online learning.
Additionally, certifications like those offered by bcaba accredited programs support careers in behavioral analysis, complementing environmental education through a focus on human and societal well-being.
