Applied Clay Science is organized to address concerns in the fields of Chemical engineering, Adsorption, Inorganic chemistry, Mineralogy and Montmorillonite. Topics in Chemical engineering explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Polymer chemistry and Polymer. While Adsorption is the focus of Applied Clay Science, it also provided insights into the studies of Specific surface area, Aqueous solution and Nuclear chemistry.
It addresses concerns in Inorganic chemistry which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Ion exchange and Catalysis. Mineralogy research presented is mostly focused on the subject of Clay minerals. The studies on Clay minerals discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Silicate, Cation-exchange capacity and Kaolinite.
The journal features research on Montmorillonite in an attempt to reinforce studies in the field of Organic chemistry. The Bentonite research presented falls under the domain of Geotechnical engineering. Most of the works presented in Applied Clay Science deals with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy but it intersects with the subject of Thermogravimetric analysis.
The most cited papers focus largely on the fields of Inorganic chemistry, Adsorption, Mineralogy, Montmorillonite and Chemical engineering. Bentonite, Aqueous solution and Nuclear chemistry are some topics wherein Adsorption research discussed in the journal publications has an impact. The most cited articles are focused mainly on Mineralogy, particularly Clay minerals.
The scientific interests tackled in the journal are Chemical engineering, Adsorption, Montmorillonite, Clay minerals and Layered double hydroxides. The research on Chemical engineering featured in it combines topics in other fields like Specific surface area and Catalysis. It facilitates discussions on Adsorption that incorporate concepts from other fields like Inorganic chemistry, Aqueous solution, Kaolinite and Nuclear chemistry.
Montmorillonite research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Molecule and Molecular dynamics. The majority of Clay minerals studies presented zero in on Illite. The research on Nanocomposite tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Polymer.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Applied Clay Science (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Applied Clay Science (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
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, 5.84% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 14.96% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.03% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.33% of all publications and 61.68% were from other institutions.
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.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
