Overview

Top Research Topics at European Physical Journal E?

The concepts of Soft matter, Mechanics, Condensed matter physics, Complex system and Chemical physics are tackled in the journal. The journal facilitates discussions on Soft matter that incorporate concepts from other fields like Nanotechnology, Optics, Liquid crystal, Polymer and Thermodynamics. The Liquid crystal works featured in it incorporate elements from Isotropy, Phase (matter) and Anisotropy.

The Polymer research dealing mostly with Glass transition is the focus of the journal. In the journal, Granular material and Classical mechanics are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Mechanics research. Condensed matter physics research presented is mostly focused on the subject of Phase transition.

The study on Complex system presented in the journal intersects with the topics under Statistical physics. Chemical physics research discussed connects with the study of Molecular dynamics.

Research areas of the most cited articles at European Physical Journal E:

The most cited papers mainly tackle studies in Soft matter, Chemical physics, Mechanics, Classical mechanics and Polymer. In addition to Soft matter research, the most cited articles aim to explore topics under Nanotechnology, Statistical physics, Condensed matter physics, Complex system and Composite material. While Mechanics is the focus of the published papers, it also provides insights into the studies of Granular material, Rheology and Shear (geology).

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Composite material
  • Thermodynamics

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The scientific interests tackled in the journal are Soft matter, Mechanics, Complex system, Particle and Chemical physics. The study of Liquid crystal and how it intertwines with concepts under Anisotropy were explored in the presented Soft matter research. Mechanics research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Viscoelasticity and Surface tension.

The presented Complex system research focuses mostly on Statistical physics and, on occasion, topics in Work (thermodynamics). Many of the studies tackled connect Particle with a similar field of study like Granular material. The study on Chemical physics presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Active matter.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • An extensible lattice Boltzmann method for viscoelastic flows: complex and moving boundaries in Oldroyd-B fluids. (11 citations)

  • Condensation transition and ensemble inequivalence in the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation (7 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 European Physical Journal E (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Roland R. Netz (31 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Holger Stark (28 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Kari Dalnoki-Veress (26 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Helmut R. Brand (23 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Harald Pleiner (23 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 European Physical Journal E (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.

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, 4.58% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 16.80% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.20% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.80% of all publications and 63.20% 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.
