The main research concerns discussed in the journal are Metallurgy, Composite material, Thermodynamics, Analytical chemistry and Condensed matter physics. Metallurgy and Diffusion are closely related fields of research discussed in Defect and Diffusion Forum. The study on Diffusion presented in it intersects with the topics under Inorganic chemistry.
Research on Condensed matter physics addressed in it frequently intersections with the field of Grain boundary diffusion coefficient. Most of the Grain boundary diffusion coefficient studies addressed also intersect with Grain boundary strengthening. Defect and Diffusion Forum focuses on Grain boundary as well as the interrelated topic of Effective diffusion coefficient.
The most cited publications investigate studies in Metallurgy, Thermodynamics, Condensed matter physics, Self-diffusion and Grain boundary. While the published papers focused on Metallurgy, they were also able to explore topics like Nanocrystalline material and Diffusion. The studies on Thermodynamics discussed at the most cited articles can also contribute to research in the domains of Mechanics and Kinetics.
The journal explores disciplines such as Composite material, Metallurgy, Mechanics, Chemical engineering and Microstructure. The Composite material research presented places emphasis on topics like Composite number, Coating and Compressive strength. Corrosion and Welding are all aspects of Metallurgy research featured in the journal.
Heat transfer, Natural convection, Nanofluid, Combined forced and natural convection and Flow (mathematics) are some of the facets of Mechanics tackled in Defect and Diffusion Forum.
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 Defect and Diffusion Forum (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 Defect and Diffusion Forum (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, 30.08% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 14.53% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 1.74% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.12% of all publications and 68.60% 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)Exploring online degrees in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering offers flexible learning options that fit various lifestyles. Many institutions now provide 5 week college courses online, allowing students to accelerate their education without compromising quality.
For those seeking cost-effective solutions, it's worth considering programs offering an online degree in mechanical engineering. These programs not only reduce financial barriers but also maintain rigorous academic standards crucial for career success.
Additionally, online education can offer accessible pathways for individuals overcoming legal obstacles. Programs highlighted under what can a felon go to college for showcase how people with criminal records can pursue meaningful technical careers, fostering second chances in the engineering field.
Seniors looking to upskill or embark on new career paths can find options through one year degree for seniors programs. These accelerated courses provide efficient routes to gaining qualifications and entering the workforce in a shorter timeframe.
