The journal explores disciplines such as Metallurgy, Microstructure, Composite material, Alloy and Ultimate tensile strength. Most of the Metallurgy studies addressed also intersect with Nucleation. It addresses concerns in Microstructure which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Phase (matter), Grain size and Scanning electron microscope.
China Foundry features studies on Scanning electron microscope, including topics such as Optical microscope. China Foundry tackles issues in Composite material, particularly in the topics of Casting, Mold, Composite number, Shrinkage and Compressive strength. The studies on Alloy discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Lamellar structure, Grain boundary, Corrosion, Aluminium and Metallic materials.
Elongation, Ductility and Tensile testing are all topics related to Ultimate tensile strength research discussed. Cast iron and Graphite are closely related fields of research discussed in the journal.
The journal publications focus on Metallurgy, Microstructure, Alloy, Composite material and Eutectic system. The most cited papers focus on Metallurgy but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Scientific method, Cooling capacity, Shrinkage and Water cooling. While the most cited publications focused on Alloy, they were also able to explore topics like Thin wall, Aluminium and Cast iron.
The aim of China Foundry is to expand the discussion of research in Microstructure, Composite material, Alloy, Ultimate tensile strength and Metallurgy. In the journal, Plasticity, Intermetallic, Corrosion, Shell (structure) and Grain size are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Microstructure research. Composite material research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Thermal and Atmospheric temperature range.
The research on Alloy featured in the journal combines topics in other fields like Phase (matter), Aluminium and Scanning electron microscope. Issues in Ultimate tensile strength were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Martensite, Intergranular corrosion and Austenite. Metallurgy studies presented in China Foundry focus on topics such as Casting (metalworking), Metallic materials, High-speed steel and Superalloy.
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 China Foundry (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 China Foundry (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, 20.75% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 61.90% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.90% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.67% of all publications and 9.52% 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.
