Overview

Top Research Topics at Crystallography Reviews?

The journal covers a variety of subjects, including Crystallography, Crystal structure, Diffraction, X-ray crystallography and Art history. The studies in Crystallography featured incorporate elements of Chemical physics, Macromolecule and Hydrogen bond. Crystal structure research is the primary subject tackled in Crystallography Reviews with a focus on Crystal chemistry.

The Diffraction study which was featured in it aims to expound on the research in Optics. The majority of Optics studies in it are focused on the subject of Synchrotron radiation.

Research areas of the most cited articles at Crystallography Reviews:

The published papers explore disciplines such as Crystallography, Crystal structure, Hydrogen bond, Crystal chemistry and Diffraction. The Neutron diffraction studies presented in the most cited articles fall under the field of Crystallography, but they also have connections to other fields such as Instrumentation (computer programming). Least squares and Scale factor are some topics wherein Diffraction research discussed in the most cited papers has an impact.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Quantum mechanics
  • X-ray crystallography
  • Organic chemistry

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The discussions in the journal mainly cover the fields of Group (mathematics), Space (mathematics), Active ingredient, Publishing and Humanities. Some problems in Group (mathematics) that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Motion (geometry), Art history, Comics, Function (mathematics) and Glory. While Crystallography Reviews focused on Space (mathematics), it was also able to explore topics like Crystallization, Space Shuttle, Phase (matter), Condensed matter physics and Mosaicity.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Cocrystallization as a tool to stabilize liquid active ingredients (1 citations)
  • Microgravity as an environment for macromolecular crystallization – an outlook in the era of space stations and commercial space flight (1 citations)
  • Department of mind-blowing theories: by T. Gauld, Edinburgh, Drawn and Quarterly, Canongate Books, Publishers Group UK, 2020, 160 pp., Price GBP 12.99 (Hardcover), ISBN-13: 978-1-77046-375-2 (0 citations)

Papers citation over time

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 Crystallography Reviews (based on the number of publications) are:

  • John R. Helliwell (39 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Petra Bombicz (14 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • Carl H. Schwalbe (8 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Moreton Moore (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Anders Liljas (6 papers) absent at the last edition.

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 Crystallography Reviews (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University of Manchester (43 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Hungarian Academy of Sciences (11 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Royal Holloway, University of London (8 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Cambridge (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Lund University (6 papers) absent at the last edition.

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.

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, 28.57% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 20.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 20.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 40.00% of all publications and 20.00% 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.
