Overview

Top Research Topics at Acque Sotterranee-Italian Journal of Groundwater?

The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Groundwater, Hydrology, Aquifer, Hydrogeology and Water resource management. The journal addresses concerns in Groundwater which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Contamination, Environmental remediation and Water resources. Groundwater recharge, Groundwater model, Water supply, Surface water and Water table are all areas of Hydrology tackled in Acque Sotterranee-Italian Journal of Groundwater.

Groundwater flow is a focus of the presented Aquifer works and it dives deep in Groundwater flow. The work on Hydrogeology addressed in the journal expands to the thematically related Geomorphology.

  • Groundwater (29.87%)
  • Hydrology (23.90%)
  • Aquifer (21.82%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Numerical modeling of the groundwater flow in the fractured and karst aquifer of the Salento peninsula (Southern Italy) (11 citations)
  • Methodological approach for evaluating the geo-exchange potential: VIGOR Project (9 citations)
  • Banca dati idrogeologica TANGRAM©: strumento per elaborazioni quantitative di dati per la valutazione delle acque sotterranee - The hydrogeological well database TANGRAM©: a tool for data processing to support groundwater assessment (9 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Acque Sotterranee-Italian Journal of Groundwater:

The journal publications mainly tackle studies in Groundwater, Hydrology, Hydrogeology, Aquifer and Pollutant. Issues in Hydrogeology were discussed in the journal articles, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Geothermal gradient and Water well. The published Aquifer works encompass concepts such as Groundwater recharge, Groundwater flow and Groundwater flow equation and examines them in conjunction with Heat equation.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • World War II
  • Groundwater
  • Hydrology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Acque Sotterranee-Italian Journal of Groundwater investigates areas of study like Hydrology, Water resource management, Groundwater, Groundwater flow and Archaeology. The journal explores Hydrology concepts, specifically MODFLOW, Runoff model and Groundwater recharge but expands to research in Sensitivity (control systems) and Local scale. The journal served as a forum through which researchers explored different topics like Groundwater and Scale (ratio).

The journal focuses on Groundwater flow but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Coastal plain, Tectonics and Water resources. Concepts in Geological survey, as well as related topics in Hydrogeology, are covered in the Archaeology research presented in it. It explores topics in Hydrogeology which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Baseflow, STREAMS, Fracture (geology), Water table and Aquifer.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Impacts of a Railway Tunnel on the streams baseflow verified by Means of numerical modelling (2 citations)
  • Hydrogeochemical characteristics and source identification of salinity in groundwater resources in an arid plain, northeast of Iran: implication for drinking and irrigation purposes (1 citations)
  • Quali-quantitative considerations on low-flow well purging and sampling (0 citations)

Papers citation over time

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 100.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, nan% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another nan% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included nan% of all publications and nan% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
