Best Ecology and Evolution Journals

The position of each journal in this ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score developed by Research.com. This score is calculated based on two core metrics: an estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have endorsed the journal over the preceding three years. To ensure accuracy and relevance, this methodology integrates multiple dimensions of scientific impact and expert validation.

The Impact Score values presented here were gathered on 2026-01-12, reflecting the most recent and robust data available to date. The ranking process involved an exhaustive examination of more than 762 journals, selected after rigorous scrutiny of over 162,999 scientific documents published in the last three years. These documents were authored by 28,854 leading and well-respected scientists recognized for their contributions to Ecology and Evolution.
