The journal tackles a plethora of topics, such as Nuclear engineering, Fusion power, Tokamak, Blanket and Plasma. The journal explores topics in Nuclear engineering which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Tritium, Divertor, Coolant and Neutron, Neutron transport. The Tritium research presented in Fusion Engineering and Design explores the relationship between Hydrogen and the closely related topic of Analytical chemistry.
The studies on Divertor discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Tungsten and Heat flux. Topics in Fusion power were tackled in line with various other fields like Nuclear reactor and Thermonuclear fusion. Topics in Tokamak explored in Fusion Engineering and Design were investigated in conjunction with research in Nuclear magnetic resonance and Electromagnetic coil.
In addition to Blanket research, the journal aims to explore topics under Helium, Ceramic, Beryllium and Lithium. The work on Plasma tackled in it brings together disciplines like Mechanics, Optics, Magnetic field and Atomic physics. The Mechanics study featured in it draws connections with the study of Magnetohydrodynamics.
The most cited articles explore disciplines such as Nuclear engineering, Fusion power, Blanket, Tokamak and Divertor. The study of Nuclear engineering in the most cited articles encompasses disciplines such as Tritium, as well as fields such as Hydrogen, all of which overlap with one another. The journal papers facilitate discussions on Tokamak that incorporate concepts from other fields like Mechanics and Electromagnetic coil.
The journal primarily tackles Nuclear engineering, Tokamak, Fusion power, Blanket and Plasma. The tackled Nuclear engineering research is interrelated with Divertor which concerns subjects like Tungsten. Issues in Tokamak were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Power (physics), Mechanics, Magnet and Electromagnetic coil.
It connects research in Fusion power with the related topic of Tritium. The studies in Blanket featured incorporate elements of Helium, Conceptual design and Lithium. It holds forums on Plasma that merges themes from other disciplines such as Beam (structure), Optics, Atomic physics, Magnetic field and Eddy current.
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 Fusion Engineering and Design (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 Fusion Engineering and Design (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, 13.60% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 47.21% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.28% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 19.63% of all publications and 25.89% 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.

(2021)For students interested in Physics, exploring related online degrees can broaden career opportunities. Pursuing an physics online degree offers flexibility and access to quality programs without campus constraints, ideal for balancing work and study.
In addition to pure science trajectories, interdisciplinary fields such as graphic design also present unique career pathways, especially in technology and data visualization. Programs highlighted in the graphic design category often emphasize remote collaboration skills, making them a strong complement to physics students interested in creative industries.
For those considering advanced degrees, exploring edd programs online shows how education leadership and curriculum development can intersect with scientific expertise, preparing graduates for educational roles or administrative positions in science institutions.
Finally, it is essential to consider degrees that support a flexible lifestyle. The best degree for remote work resources help identify programs that equip students with skills for thriving in virtual work environments, a growing trend across all industries including physics and STEM fields.
