Top Research Topics at Bulletin of the Geological Society of Greece?

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Greece covers a variety of subjects, including Theology, Seismology, Geochemistry, Geomorphology and Paleontology. The Seismology research presented places emphasis on topics like Tectonics and Fault (geology).

  • Theology (29.06%)
  • Seismology (12.64%)
  • Geochemistry (11.73%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • GLOBAL RELATIONS BETWEEN SEISMIC FAULT PARAMETERS AND MOMENT MAGNITUDE OF EARTHQUAKES (147 citations)
  • NOAfaults: a digital database for active faults in Greece (44 citations)
  • MORPHOTECTONIC ANALYSIS IN THE ELIKI FAULT ZONE (GULF OF CORINTH, GREECE) (34 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Bulletin of the Geological Society of Greece:

The journal papers primarily tackle Geochemistry, Seismology, Theology, Tectonics and Paleontology. The most cited publications facilitate discussions on Seismology that incorporate concepts from other fields like Magnitude (mathematics), Arc (geometry) and Pleistocene. While work presented in the published papers provide substantial information on Theology, it also covers topics in Urban geology and Remote sensing.

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

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Paleontology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The topics of Seismology, Fault (geology), Aftershock, Induced seismicity and Interferometric synthetic aperture radar are the focal point of discussions in the journal. The studies in Seismology featured incorporate elements of Land surface temperature and Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer. The research on Fault (geology) tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Structural basin, Basement (geology), Tectonics, Cretaceous and Outcrop.

Tectonics research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Landslide, Neogene and Basement. Induced seismicity research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Seismic risk, Scaling and Stability (probability). Research in Deformation (mechanics) and the interrelating topic of Geodesy and Magnitude (mathematics) were among the subjects of interest in the Strong ground motion studies discussed in Bulletin of the Geological Society of Greece.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Domino-style earthquakes along blind normal faults in Northern Thessaly (Greece): kinematic evidence from field observations, seismology, SAR interferometry and GNSS (2 citations)
  • Accelerating deformation seismicity patterns before the March 3, 2021 Thessaly strong earthquake. First results (1 citations)
  • Neogene-Quaternary tectonic regime and macroseismic observations in the Tyrnavos-Elassona broader epicentral area of the March 2021, intense earthquake sequence (0 citations)

Papers citation over time

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 Bulletin of the Geological Society of Greece (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 Bulletin of the Geological Society of Greece (based on the number of publications) are:

  • National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (333 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (264 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,

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.

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, 9.09% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 80.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 20.00% 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.
