The journal is mainly concerned with subjects like Composite material, Structural engineering, Finite element method, Composite number and Buckling. Epoxy, Fibre-reinforced plastic, Ultimate tensile strength, Stiffness and Delamination are all aspects of Composite material discussed in Composite Structures. The in-depth study on Fibre-reinforced plastic also explores topics in the intersecting field of Flexural strength.
The Structural engineering works featured in Composite Structures incorporate elements from Vibration, Stress (mechanics) and Boundary value problem. Many of the studies tackled connect Vibration with a similar field of study like Equations of motion. The Boundary value problem study featured in Composite Structures draws parallels with the field of Mechanics.
The study of Finite element method encompasses disciplines such as Mathematical analysis, as well as fields such as Geometry, all of which overlap with one another. In addition to Composite number research, the journal aims to explore topics under Fiber and Glass fiber. The work on Buckling addressed in Composite Structures expands to the thematically related Compression (physics).
The published articles primarily focus on research topics in Composite material, Structural engineering, Finite element method, Composite number and Vibration. The published papers hold forums on Structural engineering that merge themes from other disciplines such as Stress (mechanics) and Material properties. The published papers with studies in Composite number featured incorporate elements of Glass fiber and Carbon nanotube.
The journal tackles a plethora of topics, such as Composite material, Finite element method, Composite number, Fibre-reinforced plastic and Structural engineering. Ultimate tensile strength, Stress (mechanics), Compression (physics), Fracture (geology) and Delamination are all topics related to Composite material research discussed. The studies on Finite element method discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Mathematical analysis, Shear (sheet metal), Foundation (engineering) and Carbon fiber reinforced polymer.
Issues in Composite number were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Nanotechnology, Glass fiber, Microstructure and 3D printing. Composite Structures holds forums on Fibre-reinforced plastic that merges themes from other disciplines such as Mechanism (engineering), Beam (structure), Oblique cutting and Adhesive. Aside from discussions in Beam (structure), it also deals with the subject of Bending which intersects with Boundary value problem, Universal testing machine and Deflection (engineering) disciplines.
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 Composite Structures (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 Composite Structures (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 2022 edition, 7.02% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 13.21% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.66% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.98% of all publications and 64.15% 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.
