The aim of Biotribology is to expand the discussion of research in Composite material, Tribology, Lubrication, Biomedical engineering and Polyethylene. Composite material studies presented in Biotribology focus on topics such as Surface finish, Elastic modulus, Abrasive, Scanning electron microscope and Polymer. The work on Surface finish tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Surface roughness and Wetting.
The journal focused on Surface roughness research but expanded to cover Contact area. The tackled Tribology research is interrelated with Elastomer which concerns subjects like Silicone. The journal addresses concerns in Lubrication which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Joint (geology), Self-healing hydrogels, Viscosity and Viscoelasticity.
Concepts in Tribometer, as well as related topics in Coefficient of friction, are covered in the Biomedical engineering research presented in it. The research on Polyethylene tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of In vitro and Bearing (mechanical). The journal explores themes in Metallurgy like Fretting and Corrosion and links them with other fields of study like Tribocorrosion.
The published articles cover a variety of subjects, including Lubrication, Composite material, Tribology, Nanotechnology and Lubricity. The journal publications address concerns in the field of Composite material by exploring it in line with topics in Self-healing hydrogels which intersect with Polymer, Contact mechanics and Indentation subjects. The published papers explore issues in Tribology which can be linked to other research areas like Surface roughness and Wear resistance.
Biotribology focuses largely on the fields of Composite material, Lubrication, Tribology, Biomedical engineering and Synovial fluid. The Composite material study featured in Biotribology draws parallels with the field of Normal force. The studies in Lubrication featured incorporate elements of Viscosity, Joint (geology), Chemical engineering, Viscoelasticity and Bearing (mechanical).
The journal connects research in Tribology with the related topic of Self-healing hydrogels. The journal explores topics in Biomedical engineering which can be helpful for research in disciplines like In situ, Cartilage and Tribometer. Topics in Contact area explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Surface roughness, Surface finish, Shear force and Chondrocyte.
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 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 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, 10.53% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 38.24% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.88% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 29.41% of all publications and 26.47% 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.

(2021)Pursuing a degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering online offers flexibility and accessibility, especially for students balancing other commitments. For those concerned about cost, exploring options labeled as mechanical engineering degree online cost can help identify programs that fit budget constraints without compromising on quality.
Additionally, many students seek the cheapest accredited online college options as a practical starting point. These programs provide accredited credentials that are respected in the industry while keeping tuition affordable.
For parents, particularly moms returning to education, the availability of degrees for moms going back to school offers tailored support and flexible scheduling, making it easier to balance family and academic goals.
Many online courses are designed in accelerated formats, with options like 6 week college courses allowing students to complete coursework faster and progress efficiently toward their degrees and career goals.
