Overview

Top Research Topics at EG Quaternary Science Journal?

EG Quaternary Science Journal investigates studies in Archaeology, Glacial period, Pleistocene, Paleontology and Holocene. Research on Glacial period addressed in it frequently intersections with the field of Physical geography. Specifically, studies on Interglacial are prevalent in the Paleontology works discussed.

  • Archaeology (10.20%)
  • Glacial period (7.24%)
  • Pleistocene (7.04%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Luminescence dating: Basics, methods and applications (180 citations)
  • The subdivision and zonation of interglacial periods (120 citations)
  • Stratigraphische Begriffe für das Quartär des norddeutschen Vereisungsgebietes (109 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at EG Quaternary Science Journal:

The main points discussed in the published articles deal with Archaeology, Humanities, Geochemistry, Glacial period and Chronology. The most cited papers hold forums on Archaeology that merge themes from other disciplines such as Paleosol, Loess and Quaternary. While the most cited papers focused on Geochemistry, they were also able to explore topics like Pleistocene and Interglacial.

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

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Archaeology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The scientific interests tackled in the journal are Archaeology, Nile delta, Quaternary, Physical geography and Period (geology). The work on Archaeology tackled in EG Quaternary Science Journal brings together disciplines like Context (language use) and Tephra. It facilitates discussions on Quaternary that incorporate concepts from other fields like Drainage basin, Ecology, Archipelago and Volcano.

Moraine is a major topic of Physical geography research. It explores research in Period (geology) alongside concepts in Structural basin and other areas of study in Flood myth and Sediment. While Holocene is the key highlight in the journal, it also covered some subjects on Radiocarbon dating and Stratigraphy, Terminus post quem, Hiatus and Deciduous.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Reconstruction of former channel systems in the northwestern Nile Delta (Egypt) based on corings and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) (2 citations)
  • Sandhills, sandbanks, waterways, canals and sacred lakes at Sais in the Nile Delta (2 citations)
  • Implications of geoarchaeological investigations for the contextualization of sacred landscapes in the Nile Delta (2 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 EG Quaternary Science Journal (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Paul Woldstedt (21 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Manfred Frechen (19 papers) published 1 paper 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 EG Quaternary Science Journal (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University of Cologne (9 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • University of Bern (9 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Dresden University of Technology (8 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • University of Würzburg (7 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,

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, 33.33% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 66.67% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.33% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.67% of all publications and 8.33% 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.
