The topics of Composite material, Tribology, Lubrication, Nanotechnology and Biomedical engineering are the focal point of discussions in Biosurface and Biotribology. Biosurface and Biotribology holds forums on Composite material that merges themes from other disciplines such as Self-healing hydrogels and Cartilage. Surface roughness, Surface finish and Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, Polyethylene are some topics wherein Tribology research discussed in it have an impact.
Lubrication and Polymer are closely related fields of research discussed in Biosurface and Biotribology. It focuses on Polymer research which is adjacent to topics in Chemical engineering. Research on Nanotechnology addressed in Biosurface and Biotribology frequently intersections with the field of Biocompatibility.
The work on Biomedical engineering tackled in Biosurface and Biotribology brings together disciplines like Soft tissue and Biomechanics. Biosurface and Biotribology explores research in Wetting and the adjacent study of Contact angle.
The journal articles facilitate discussions on Nanotechnology, Tribology, Dentistry, Polymer and Fluid bearing. The studies tackled in the published papers, which mainly focus on Nanotechnology, apply to Nitric oxide as well. Most of the Polymer studies addressed in the journal publications also intersect with Biomedical engineering.
The journal covers a variety of subjects, including Composite material, Chemical engineering, Biomedical engineering, Nanotechnology and Biocompatibility. While Composite material is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Squeeze film and Finite element method. Aside from investigating topics in Stearic acid under Chemical engineering, Biosurface and Biotribology also explores concepts in Calcite.
The research on Biomedical engineering featured in Biosurface and Biotribology combines topics in other fields like Biodegradable polymer and Tissue adhesives. It is focused mainly on Nanotechnology, particularly Nanowire. It explores topics in Biocompatibility which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Combinatorial chemistry, Magnesium alloy, Superhydrophobic coating and Corrosion.
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 Biosurface and Biotribology (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 Biosurface and Biotribology (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, 3.85% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 64.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 12.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.00% of all publications and 12.00% 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.
