Best Ecology and Evolution Journals

The position of each journal within this ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score developed by Research.com. This score is computed through a combination of the estimated h-index of the journal and the number of prominent scientists who have endorsed the journal over the preceding three years. This rigorous approach ensures that the ranking reflects both the impact and the expert recognition of the journals in the scientific community.

Impact Score values included in this ranking were collected as of January 12, 2026. The selection process involved an exhaustive examination of more than 762 journals, carefully chosen following a detailed and rigorous evaluation of over 162,999 scientific documents published during the last three years. These documents were authored by a cohort of 28,854 leading and well-respected scientists actively contributing to the fields of Ecology and Evolution.

The depth of research and the complexity of analysis underlying this ranking underscore its credibility and utility as a valuable resource for researchers, institutions, and policymakers seeking to assess scientific influence in Ecology and Evolution.
