Top Research Topics at Chemical Engineering Science?

The journal focuses on Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Chemical engineering, Mass transfer and Catalysis. While the journal focused on Mechanics, it was also able to explore topics like Particle and Classical mechanics. The work on Thermodynamics tackled in Chemical Engineering Science brings together disciplines like Phase (matter) and Adsorption.

While Chemical engineering is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Chromatography and Membrane. Many of the studies tackled connect Mass transfer with a similar field of study like Analytical chemistry. The study on Catalysis presented in the journal intersects with subjects under the field of Inorganic chemistry.

The journal publications are organized to address concerns in the fields of Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Mass transfer, Chemical engineering and Bubble. Particle and Classical mechanics are some topics wherein Mechanics research discussed in the most cited papers has an impact. The works on Thermodynamics tackled in the journal publications bring together disciplines like Phase (matter), Adsorption and Two-phase flow.

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

• Composite material
• Organic chemistry
• Catalysis

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal mainly tackles studies in Mechanics, Chemical engineering, Catalysis, Work (thermodynamics) and Flow (psychology). Topics in Mechanics explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Particle and Fluidization. The journal facilitates discussions on Particle that incorporate concepts from other fields like Economies of agglomeration, Drag and Particle size.

While work presented in it provided substantial information on Chemical engineering, it also covered topics in Oxide, Phase (matter) and Adsorption. The tackled Catalysis research is interrelated with Mass transfer which concerns subjects like Analytical chemistry. It addresses concerns in Work (thermodynamics) which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Chemical physics, Microreactor and Composite material.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Impacts of Sn(II) doping on the Keggin heteropolyacid-catalyzed etherification of glycerol with tert-butyl alcohol (3 citations)
• A kinetic modeling framework for the peroxide-initiated radical polymerization of styrene in the presence of rubber particles from recycled tires (1 citations)
• Numerical investigation of air-injected deoiling hydrocyclones using population balance model (1 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 2022 edition, 7.74% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 12.26% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 12.26% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.48% of all publications and 60.00% 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.
