Advances in Atmospheric Sciences primarily focuses on research topics in Climatology, Atmospheric sciences, Meteorology, Precipitation and Monsoon. It dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Climatology and China. The studies on Atmospheric sciences discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Atmosphere, Convection, Water vapor and Aerosol.

The journal connects research in Meteorology with the related topic of Remote sensing. The research on Precipitation tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Climate change and Climate model. It features studies on Climate change, including topics such as Global warming.

East Asian Monsoon is part of Monsoon studies tackled in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences. The journal links adjacent topics like Troposphere with Stratosphere.

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal focuses on Climatology, Precipitation, Atmospheric sciences, Meteorology and Sea surface temperature. The study on Climatology presented in it intersects with subjects under the field of China. The research on Precipitation featured in it combines topics in other fields like Snow, Monsoon, Convection and Coupled model intercomparison project.

Issues in Atmospheric sciences were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Moisture, Latent heat and Water vapor. Subtropical ridge and Anticyclone are some topics wherein Anomaly (natural sciences) research discussed in the journal have an impact. It explores topics in Data assimilation which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Sky and Numerical weather prediction.

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, 14.07% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 82.46% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.43% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 5.85% of all publications and 5.26% 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.
