Chemical Engineering Research and Design

Top Research Topics at Chemical Engineering Research & Design?

Chemical Engineering Research & Design aims to foster the development of research in Mechanics, Chemical engineering, Thermodynamics, Process engineering and Chromatography. Chemical Engineering Research & Design encompasses presentations on Mechanics, specifically Flow (psychology), Computational fluid dynamics, Turbulence, Impeller and Mass transfer. The Mass transfer study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Analytical chemistry.

The studies on Chemical engineering discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Membrane, Catalysis and Adsorption. Heat transfer is a focus of the Thermodynamics works in it. The journal addresses concerns in Process engineering which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Distillation and Waste management.

The journal papers facilitate discussions on Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Chemical engineering, Process engineering and Waste management. The Mechanics study tackled in the most cited publications is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Mixing (process engineering). The most cited publications focus on Chemical engineering but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Chromatography, Membrane and Adsorption.

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

• Organic chemistry
• Composite material
• Catalysis

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Chemical Engineering Research & Design covers a variety of subjects, including Mechanics, Chemical engineering, Flow (psychology), Membrane and Work (thermodynamics). The study on Mechanics presented in Chemical Engineering Research & Design intersects with the topics under Particle. The presented Chemical engineering research focuses mostly on Catalysis and, on occasion, topics in Nuclear chemistry.

The journal emphasizes research on Membrane, which includes concerns such as Permeation. While the primary focus in it is Work (thermodynamics), it also dissects topics surrounding Process engineering and Scientific method as a whole. Chemical Engineering Research & Design explores research in Volumetric flow rate and the adjacent study of Mass transfer.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Evaluation of deep eutectic solvents in the extraction of β-caryophyllene from New Zealand Manuka leaves (Leptospermum scoparium) (8 citations)
• Thin film nanocomposite RO membranes: Review on fabrication techniques and impacts of nanofiller characteristics on membrane properties (8 citations)
• A statistical modeling-optimization approach for efficiency photocatalytic degradation of textile azo dye using cerium-doped mesoporous ZnO: A central composite design in response surface methodology (7 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.

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, 8.40% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 9.72% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.83% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.50% of all publications and 71.94% 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.
