Best Earth Science Journals

Journals are positioned according to a distinctive bibliometric score developed by Research.com, which integrates the estimated h-index with the number of endorsements from leading scientists over the latest three-year period. This score reflects both quantitative research output and the qualitative opinions of respected figures in the field, ensuring an insightful and balanced assessment of each journal’s impact.

The ranking incorporates Impact Score values that were collected on 2024-11-27. The process involved a thorough evaluation of more than 739 journals, selected after an extensive and rigorous examination of over 199,966 scientific documents authored by 27,289 leading and well-respected scientists active in Earth Science over the last three years. This systematic approach underscores the academic integrity and reliability of the rankings, which aim to guide researchers, institutions, and practitioners in identifying the most influential journals within Earth Science.
