The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Composite material, Chemical engineering, Nanotechnology, Microstructure and Optoelectronics. Topics like Ultimate tensile strength, Composite number, Compressive strength, Deformation (engineering) and Flexural strength are tackled as part of the discussions on Composite material. Frontiers in Materials addresses concerns in Chemical engineering which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Electrolyte, Carbon, Catalysis and Porosity.
The study on Microstructure presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Alloy.
The most cited articles explore disciplines such as Nanotechnology, Chemical engineering, Composite material, Electrode and Supercapacitor. The most cited papers focus on Nanotechnology but sometimes tackle the closely related topic of Energy storage which is concerned with Capacitance. While the most cited publications focused on Chemical engineering, they were also able to explore topics like Porosity, Hydrogen, Catalysis, Lignin and Carbon.
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 Frontiers in 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 Frontiers in 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, 79.17% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 12.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 14.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.00% of all publications and 57.00% 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)Exploring online degrees can open diverse career pathways for Materials Science students. For those seeking quick entry into the workforce, 6 month certificate programs offer focused training and practical skills that can complement traditional degrees.
Many professionals also consider further education, like pursuing the instructional design masters online, which enhances the ability to develop training programs or educational materials related to advanced technologies in Materials Science.
For veterans looking for flexible learning options, enrolling in an photography degree online for veterans might seem unrelated but shows how interdisciplinary skills like technical imaging can benefit materials characterization careers.
Lastly, career options that suit individual personality traits are vital. Many roles in materials research or quality control align well with careers for introverts, offering opportunities to work independently or in small teams.
