Best Earth Science Journals for Geophysics

The positions within this ranking are determined by a proprietary bibliometric score, uniquely developed by Research.com. This score is carefully calculated using two primary factors: the estimated h-index of each journal and the number of leading scientists who have actively endorsed the journal over the preceding three years. Such a methodology ensures that both the scholarly impact and authoritative recognition of each journal are thoroughly considered.

Impact Score values featured in this ranking were meticulously gathered as of 2024-11-27, providing users with the most current and relevant insights available. The ranking process itself was extensive and systematic; more than 44 journals were initially considered and rigorously vetted. This selection relied on in-depth analysis of over 23,508 scientific documents published in the last three years, involving the contributions of 10,149 prominent and well-respected scientists in the Geophysics community.
