The position of each journal in this ranking is determined by a distinctive bibliometric score developed by Research.com. This score is calculated using an estimated h-index alongside the number of prominent scientists who have endorsed the journal over the past three years. Such a method ensures a robust and reliable assessment of each journal’s influence and standing in the scientific community.

The ranking incorporates Impact Score values collected on January 12, 2026. The selection process involved a rigorous examination of more than 762 journals, chosen after an in-depth review and critical evaluation of over 162,999 scientific documents published during the previous three years. These documents were authored and reviewed by 28,854 leading and well-respected scientists specializing in Ecology and Evolution.
