Research areas of the most cited articles at Annales Societatis Geologorum Poloniae:

The journal articles focus on Paleontology, Cretaceous, Flysch, Facies and Geomorphology. Most of the Paleontology studies addressed in the journal papers also intersect with Foraminifera. The published papers facilitate discussions on Geomorphology that incorporate concepts from other fields like Geochemistry and Massif.

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

• Paleontology
• Ecology
• Sedimentary rock

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The main research concerns discussed in Annales Societatis Geologorum Poloniae are Paleontology, Cretaceous, Sedimentary rock, Facies and Geochemistry. Annales Societatis Geologorum Poloniae focuses on different Paleontology studies like Trackway, Massif, Biostratigraphy, Carboniferous and Sedimentary basin. While Biostratigraphy is the key highlight in it, it also covered some subjects on Paleozoic and Devonian.

The journal holds forums on Sedimentary rock that merges themes from other disciplines such as Type specimen, Sediment, Ichnotaxon and Type species. Annales Societatis Geologorum Poloniae deals with Facies in conjunction with Sedimentary depositional environment and similar fields in Flysch, Clastic rock and Nappe. The journal explores topics in Geochemistry which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Organic matter, Lamalginite and Cenozoic.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Matoniaceous ferns preserved in growth position in Lower Jurassic dune sandstones of the Holy Cross Mountains (Poland) (1 citations)
• A lost carbonate platform deciphered from clasts embedded in flysch: Štramberk-type limestones, Polish Outer Carpathians (0 citations)
• Composition of organic matter and thermal maturity of Mesozoic and Cenozoic sedimentary rocks in East Herzegovina (External Dinarides, Bosnia and Herzegovina) (0 citations)

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.
