Computational Condensed Matter

Top Research Topics at Computational Condensed Matter?

The scientific interests tackled in the journal are Condensed matter physics, Density functional theory, Band gap, Thermodynamics and Density of states. It tackles issues in Condensed matter physics, particularly in the topics of Electronic band structure, Electronic structure, Ferromagnetism, Magnetic moment and Doping. The work on Electronic structure addressed in it expands to the thematically related Crystal structure.

While Computational Condensed Matter focused on Doping, it was also able to explore topics like Chemical physics, Impurity and Analytical chemistry. Among the topics covered in the journal are Density functional theory and Lattice constant. Topics in Band gap were tackled in line with various other fields like Seebeck coefficient, Molecular physics, Semiconductor and Dielectric.

Some problems in Thermodynamics that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Phonon and Intermetallic. The study of Shear modulus and how it intertwines with concepts under Anisotropy were explored in the presented Bulk modulus research. While Ab initio is the focus of Computational Condensed Matter, it also provided insights into the studies of Crystallography and Local-density approximation.

• Quantum mechanics
• Electron
• Semiconductor

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Computational Condensed Matter is mainly concerned with subjects like Density functional theory, Condensed matter physics, Electronic band structure, Band gap and Thermoelectric effect. The research on Density functional theory tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Direct and indirect band gaps, Doping, Magnetic moment and Thermodynamics. The main emphasis of Computational Condensed Matter is the research on Condensed matter physics, emphasizing the topic of Density of states.

The Electronic band structure works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Semimetal, Phonon, Electronic structure and Electron density. Effective mass (solid-state physics) and First principle are some topics wherein Band gap research discussed in it have an impact. It addresses concerns in the field of Thermoelectric effect by exploring it in line with topics in Work (thermodynamics) which intersect with Triclinic crystal system subjects.

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 2021 edition, 17.57% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 32.79% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.56% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.75% of all publications and 45.90% 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.
