The main points discussed in the journal deals with Composite material, Dentin, Dentistry, Composite number and Bond strength. Adhesive, Ceramic, Flexural strength, Ultimate tensile strength and Polymerization are all areas of Composite material tackled in it. Ceramic research presented is mostly focused on the subject of Cubic zirconia.
Flexural strength research is concerned with Flexural modulus in particular. Dental Materials addresses concerns in Polymerization which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Shrinkage, Curing (chemistry) and Monomer. The journal explores issues in Dentin which can be linked to other research areas like Molar, Enamel paint and Nuclear chemistry.
The Dentistry study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Orthodontics. Dental bonding is a focus of the presented Bond strength works and it dives deep in Dental bonding.
The journal publications investigate areas of study like Composite material, Composite number, Dentin, Bond strength and Dentistry. The most cited articles facilitate discussions on Composite number that incorporate concepts from other fields like Shrinkage and Polymerization. The journal papers explore issues in Dentin which can be linked to other research areas like Molar, Enamel paint and Nuclear chemistry.
Dental Materials tackles a plethora of topics, such as Composite material, Nuclear chemistry, Dentin, Composite number and Flexural strength. Composite material studies presented include Cubic zirconia, Ceramic, Stress (mechanics), Scanning electron microscope and Crown (dentistry). Topics in Nuclear chemistry were tackled in line with various other fields like Solubility, Biocompatibility, Antibacterial activity, Streptococcus mutans and Monomer.
The work on Dentin tackled in Dental Materials brings together disciplines like Molar, Adhesive, Bond strength and Enamel paint, Demineralization. While work presented in it provided substantial information on Bond strength, it also covered topics in Ultimate tensile strength and Adhesion. In it, Compressive strength, Methacrylate and Polymer are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Flexural strength research.
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 Dental Materials (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 Dental Materials (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, 2.28% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.23% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.68% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 24.30% of all publications and 38.79% 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)For students interested in Materials Science, exploring related fields through online education can broaden career opportunities. For example, pursuing an online communications masters can enhance skills in technical communication, a valuable asset for professionals who need to convey complex scientific information clearly.
Many learners prefer fast-tracked programs to quickly boost their qualifications. A 6 month masters degree offers an accelerated path to gain advanced knowledge, ideal for those looking to upskill without a long-term time commitment.
Certification options are another flexible way to specialize. High-quality certificate programs provide targeted expertise that can improve job prospects and salary potential in various technology and science-driven industries.
Additionally, creative fields intersecting with materials science, such as digital imaging and design, can be explored through programs like a bachelors in photography online. This expands career flexibility by combining technical understanding with visual communication skills.
