The foci of Clays and Clay Minerals are Mineralogy, Clay minerals, Inorganic chemistry, Biogeosciences and Kaolinite. The journal holds forums on Mineralogy that merges themes from other disciplines such as Sedimentary rock, Chemical engineering, Silicate and Analytical chemistry. Illite is the primary subject of Clay minerals works presented in Clays and Clay Minerals.
Clays and Clay Minerals explores issues in Inorganic chemistry which can be linked to other research areas like Adsorption, Sorption, Infrared spectroscopy, Montmorillonite and Aqueous solution. Montmorillonite research discussed connects with the study of Bentonite. It aims to form a more comprehensive understanding of the field by integrating Biogeosciences with subjects such as Crystallography and Environmental chemistry.
Crystallography research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as X-ray crystallography, Diffraction and Stacking. The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Kaolinite, apply to Halloysite as well. The research on Geochemistry tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Hydrothermal circulation and Feldspar.
The most cited publications tackle a plethora of topics, such as Inorganic chemistry, Mineralogy, Clay minerals, Montmorillonite and Kaolinite. The most cited publications hold forums on Inorganic chemistry that merge themes from other disciplines such as Crystallography, Cation-exchange capacity and Adsorption, Sorption. Clay minerals research presented in the published papers is mostly focused on the subject of Illite.
The scientific interests tackled in the journal are Chemical engineering, Kaolinite, Adsorption, Clay minerals and Inorganic chemistry. While Kaolinite is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Illite, Infrared, Cubic zirconia, Metal and Particle size. Clays and Clay Minerals primarily covers Illite research which is covered under the topics of Geochemistry and Mineralogy.
The work on Adsorption tackled in it brings together disciplines like Soil water, Monovalent ions, Substrate (chemistry) and Zeolite. Caesium, Atterberg limits and Chemical composition are some topics wherein Clay minerals research discussed in Clays and Clay Minerals have an impact. Inorganic chemistry research presented in Clays and Clay Minerals encompasses a variety of subjects, including Ion exchange, Vermiculite, Montmorillonite, Hematite and Density functional theory.
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 Clays and Clay Minerals (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 Clays and Clay Minerals (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, 15.38% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 9.09% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.06% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.12% of all publications and 72.73% 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.

(2020)For those passionate about Earth Science, pursuing related online degrees offers flexibility and accessibility. Many students benefit from programs at most affordable online colleges, making quality education more attainable without breaking the bank.
Additionally, some institutions are known for accepting students with a low GPA colleges admission policy, opening doors for individuals eager to improve their credentials and enter Earth Science fields.
Specialized degrees, such as those focused on Geographic Information Systems (GIS), are critical in analyzing and managing spatial data related to the Earth’s surface. Online programs offering a geographic information systems degree prepare graduates for careers in environmental consulting, urban planning, and resource management.
Alternatively, students interested in rock formations, minerals, and geological processes can explore the best online geology programs. These courses blend theoretical knowledge with practical skills, leading to diverse career paths in research, mining, and environmental protection.
