Simon Van Noort publication distribution in Ecology and Evolution in 2026 - data summary

  • The chart plots the publication count of all 8,381 Ecology and Evolution scientists ranked by Research.com in 2026, grouped into 100 ranges running from 37–41 to 531+ publications.
  • The median of the discipline falls in the 147–151 publications range.
  • The most crowded range is 97–101 publications, holding 333 scientists (4% of the field).
  • 58% of the field sits in the lowest quarter of the value range (up to 157–161 publications), so the distribution is heavily right-skewed and high scores are rare.
  • The final bar has no upper bound: it groups every scientist with 531 publications or more, 100 scientists in all (1% of the field).

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Studying Ecology and Evolution in the USA opens up diverse career pathways that often intersect with other fields focused on improving human and environmental health. Many students interested in science and social impact pursue further education through related online degree programs or consider new professional directions.

For those interested in supporting individuals and communities, an online degree in human services can equip graduates for roles in nonprofit, governmental, or healthcare organizations. Alternatively, those seeking a counseling role with a strong scientific foundation may benefit from an online master's degree in counseling.

Specializing even further, psychology-focused careers are accessible via an online master in clinical psychology, which paves the way for positions in mental health, research, and education.
