The objective of THE Coatings is to combine knowledge in the areas of Composite material, Coating, Chemical engineering, Corrosion and Microstructure. Presentations on Composite material include those discussing Scanning electron microscope, Composite number, Tribology, Alloy and Contact angle. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Analytical chemistry are some topics wherein Scanning electron microscope research discussed in THE Coatings have an impact.
The journal connects the study in Contact angle with the closely related area of Wetting. Coating research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Layer (electronics), Metallurgy, Oxide and Indentation hardness. The studies on Chemical engineering discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Thin film and Polymer.
The journal focused on Thin film research but expanded to cover Substrate (electronics). Most of the works presented in it deals with Corrosion but it intersects with the subject of Dielectric spectroscopy. The research on Microstructure discussed in THE Coatings draws on the closely related field of Sputter deposition.
The main points discussed in the journal papers deal with Coating, Composite material, Chemical engineering, Thin film and Nanotechnology. While the most cited papers focused on Coating, they were also able to explore topics like Metallurgy, Microstructure, Corrosion and Polymer. The journal publications address concerns in Thin film which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Annealing (metallurgy), Substrate (electronics) and Analytical chemistry.
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 THE Coatings (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 THE Coatings (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, 96.84% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.64% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 17.95% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.95% of all publications and 38.46% 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.

(2021)Pursuing a degree in Materials Science opens up a variety of career opportunities across industries like manufacturing, aerospace, and biotechnology. To complement technical expertise, many students explore interdisciplinary learning. For example, some choose to enhance their creative and communication skills through affordable programs such as mfa online courses, which can help in roles involving product design or technical marketing.
For those seeking shorter, skill-focused credentials, exploring certificate programs that pay well is a smart choice. These programs offer specialized skills that can boost employability and earnings without the time commitment of a full degree.
Additionally, professionals interested in training and development within materials science industries might consider pursuing online masters in instructional design. This pathway equips them to create effective educational programs and training materials, addressing workforce development needs.
Veterans looking to transition into creative or technical roles may find opportunities through online photography degree programs for veterans, which nurture visual and analytical skills useful in material characterization and documentation processes.
