Overview

Top Research Topics at Environmental Technology?

The journal mainly deals with areas of study such as Waste management, Environmental engineering, Wastewater, Environmental chemistry and Pulp and paper industry. It links adjacent topics like Waste management with Anaerobic digestion. Anaerobic digestion and Biogas are closely related fields of research discussed in Environmental Technology.

Water treatment is a major topic of Environmental engineering research. The concepts on Wastewater presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Effluent, Sewage treatment and Bioreactor. Studies on Bioreactor discussed in it link to the field of Chromatography.

While Environmental chemistry is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Organic matter, Soil contamination, Sediment, Biodegradation and Adsorption.

  • Waste management (18.42%)
  • Environmental engineering (17.82%)
  • Wastewater (17.80%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Kinetic Studies of Competitive Heavy Metal Adsorption by Sphagnum Moss Peat (509 citations)

  • Characterisation of textile wastewaters ‐ a review (372 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Environmental Technology:

The journal publications focus largely on the fields of Waste management, Environmental chemistry, Wastewater, Environmental engineering and Adsorption. The published papers focus on Waste management but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Pulp and paper industry and Anaerobic digestion. The most cited papers facilitate discussions on Wastewater that incorporate concepts from other fields like Chromatography, Effluent, Sewage treatment and Bioreactor.

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

  • Organic chemistry

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, 3.33% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 10.84% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 4.99% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 8.95% of all publications and 75.22% 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.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Studying Chemistry in the USA opens the door to a variety of career pathways, many of which can be pursued through online programs. One popular route is becoming a certified professional coder (cpc), a role that blends attention to detail with healthcare knowledge—qualities that chemistry students often possess.

For those interested in healthcare, pursuing a pharmacy career is a natural fit. You can learn more about the steps involved in becoming a pharmacist by exploring the detailed guide on how do you become a pharmacist. This path heavily depends on a solid foundation in chemistry and related sciences.

Nursing is another area where chemistry graduates can transition smoothly.
