Ferroelectrics focuses largely on the fields of Condensed matter physics, Ferroelectricity, Dielectric, Phase transition and Optics. In addition to Condensed matter physics research, it aims to explore topics under Crystal, Polarization (waves), Phase (matter) and Electric field. Topics in Ferroelectricity explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Thin film, Nuclear magnetic resonance and Liquid crystal.
The research on Dielectric featured in it combines topics in other fields like Curie temperature, Solid solution and Ceramic. The journal holds forums on Ceramic that merges themes from other disciplines such as Sintering, Perovskite (structure), Microstructure and Doping. Topics in Phase transition were tackled in line with various other fields like Tetragonal crystal system, Soft modes, Atmospheric temperature range and Raman spectroscopy.
Raman scattering is a major topic of Raman spectroscopy research. Composite material, which encompasses Piezoelectricity and Composite number, is the main subject of it. The majority of Piezoelectricity studies are focused on the issues of Piezoelectric coefficient.
The journal papers tackle a plethora of topics, such as Ferroelectricity, Condensed matter physics, Dielectric, Phase transition and Ceramic. The Condensed matter physics research tackled in the journal papers is interrelated with Phase (matter) which concerns subjects like Antiferroelectricity. The published papers focus on Dielectric but sometimes tackle the closely related topic of Piezoelectricity which is concerned with Poling.
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 Ferroelectrics (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 Ferroelectrics (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, 18.94% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 19.16% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.07% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 3.74% of all publications and 71.03% 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.
